Shouldn't Have Come by Sloane Sabel
Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.
three words. mind numbingly stupid.
i'm sorry, but i had to put this down after 21% because i just could not believe how the heroine was acting. on the surface, this book has all the recipes that would make me glued to my seat: single pov to add to the suspense and mystery, four certifiably insane heroes that intrigue me just as much as they terrify me, and witchcraft. however, one thing started to become clear as i slowly progressed with the book.
the heroine has a serious case of tstl syndrome. she was, for the lack of a better word, stupid. her reaction to the depravity around her? yes, king. please eat me out right now! it just made no sense. you could argue that i am being ridiculous to expect realism when i picked up this genre on purpose, but come on. irregardless of the genre, i need my heroines to at least have common sense. no human being would react the way she did. when it comes to dark romance, i just prefer it better when the heroine has reasonable amount of fear at first.

"I stammered out a breath and bobbed my head wholeheartedly. Fuck the moral dilemma of wanting to fuck the monster who literally hunted me. Who'd killed--no. For all I knew Evelyn had killed Isabella."
the way she acted would have worked if she had known the demon intimately, but they had just met, and she literally just saw the road he had just paved in blood. please be serious right now. i'm not going to patronize those who enjoyed this book, though. i guess this book could be enjoyable if you just wanted porn without a plot.
