My friends and I are set and determined to find out who is killing off Fae and Witches alike.Couple of problems in the way - I hate the Fae and the Prince of the Dark Fae is bound and determined that I work for him. He's a rude, overbearing egotistical ass with a compulsive need to possess, dominate and control me. Oh - did I mention that he is absolutely sex-on-a-stick gorgeous and he makes me feel things that I never ever wanted to feel for a Fae...every time he touches me or looks at me with those dangerous golden eyes he seems to pull me further in under his spell, despite my better judgment.My friends and I can't trust anyone and nothing is as it seems on the surface - not even me.

DNF at 20%, because by then, the lead male had already sexually assaulted the lead female at least a half dozen times. She doesn't defend herself - not against the sexual assault, and not against his constant belittling. In their first encounter, she defended herself after he sexually assaulted him by ripping out his soul. How about try that again, or just do SOMETHING?

I loathe him, and I have less than zero respect for him. Fuck books like this. Fuck training women to glamorize their abusers. It makes me sick.

I hated this so much that this author is now on my NOPE list.
