I didn't like this one. That surprised me because I adore a super dark anti-hero and I really liked this author's other books. However, I felt no connection or love between these two characters. He was just straight up physically, emotionally, and mentally abusive towards his wife. Even at the end it left me feeling sad for Luna. The hero abused all her personality out of her and she had to become a stepford wife or die.
I am noticing a trend developing lately where authors are pushing the envelope more and more with dark anti-heroes and their behavior is becoming SO over the top with how they treat the heroines, that I am struggling to connect to the heroes and the stories. As I mentioned above, I adore a dark anti-hero, but I also need to see that there is SOMETHING more underneath than just viciousness and abuse.
Anyway, I am sure many people will love this book, and rightfully so. Perhaps if I had read Blaire's World (?) I might have been better prepared??
