I expected a better execution of the intriguing plot and was a little disappointed it fell flat. I absolutely love the huge revelation and angst that comes with a big betrayal, but this did not have that. I kinda expected a bigger reaction to all the truth bombs dropped in the story, and there were plenty, so I was a bit disappointed when they were just brushed over.
I did find the dialogue to be cringey and cheesy, at first I found the plot compelling enough to push through it, until the story started to decline. Once Chantel and Kaysar actually got together, I got progressively more bored with the story. Chantel was so hot and cold it was annoying, I found all her differing personalities to be kind of confusing. I couldn't get a handle on her personality and I still have no idea what she was truly like. I also really despised her jealousy over Kaysar's own sister all because of her ridiculous insecurities. Kaysar was so dramatic when it came to Chantel, he honestly was starting to give me the ick. I find it hard to believe that the supposed “Unhinged One” who was seen as this terrible, horrible, violent king would fall in love so quickly and become such a sap even if he was her mate.
Overall the story was a bit too chaotic, there were things that weren't elaborated on that left gaping holes in the plot and left me feeling unfulfilled. I also think it dragged on for too long and should've ended a good 100-200 pages back.
An absolute psychopath hell bent on revenge and a heroine with a new lease on life get together to be crazed fae mass murderers together? Yeah, I'm here for it. It's hot and it's unhinged and it's batshit, I enjoyed myself, and it's good for what it is. But lets be real... it ain't Shakespeare either. I had a good time. Popcorn smut.
