Okay, okay 1.5. Really? What kind of an ending was that? The only reason why I'm giving it one star is because I like Damen. He was okay, and Laurent was crazy but he was also sort of okay. Like if I don't continue this series, I like Laurent as a cruel, sadistic main character. I don't think I can swallow him as a love interest of Damen's not after everything he put him through! I mean cOME ON! What was that? Thankfully there wasn't any romance between the two so far. 
 I will say that I couldn't stop reading because I did want to know the reason behind Laurent's demeanor. I think I've got it sorted out but I'm not sure because guess what? THEY DIDNT TELL ME! So I feel like I wasted so much reading time for nothing. 
 I honestly felt like I was watching all of the sex scenes in Games of Thrones at once *cringes* this book made me feel like a prude man, and I am not even hahah it just that these people were crazy over sex. Laurent be talkin' about Akielons are "savages" and "barbarians", well honey, they are NOT the ones gathering *together* to watch people *have dominant/submissive sex* *played off as rape*! 
 Yikes! Idk man, I do not know. Do I want to continue? I'll probably just read someone's summary to find out what went down. 
 Unless someone can straight up give a reason why this book is great, I can't say I recommend it!
