I actually really enjoyed this book!
This was my first dark romance with a Christian theme, so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but it was a surprisingly interesting combination. It kept me hooked, and I found myself wanting to see what happened next.
It definitely isn't a perfect book, but it was entertaining and worth the read in my opinion. If you're curious about dark romance with a faith-based element, I'd say give it a chance. ]]>
