Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There are multiple issues with this book. 1. For a book that is supposed to be a dark romance there is absolutely no romance. I’m not sure when kidnapping someone, starving them, mentally torturing them and forcing them to give you sex because the only other choice is to die of starvation became ethically ok to write about. In fact the one word we hear from Aria over and over again is FEAR. As multiple other reviewers have said Stockholm Syndrome. I love a good dark romance however this book is not that at all. 2. I’m so tired of authors using a cliffhanger ending to get you to buy more books. What purpose did the ending here serve? There was no resolution whatsoever for any of the characters. We barely learned anything about the characters in this book. 3. Carter has no compassion or light. All he cares about is breaking Aria and owning her. He doesnt actually care anything about her as a person. Anti-heroes can make for very interesting and complex characters. Carter is none of these. He is the same person at the beginning as he is at the end. In short this book is vastly overrated and underwritten. Not going to read the second book.
