Medusa of the Roses

The book start very strongly and I was directly invested or more specifically disturbed - and as a result I wanted to understand
But the more the story progressed the more I find myself not liking the book
I was intrigued by the synopsis, but the actual content was over the top. I read a lot of gay books with a destructive-codependent relationship, and this one was definitely pushed to the extreme.
anjir's transition felt unexpected and simply to feed the plot of the book, this is a touchy subject and I'm not directly concerned so I'm not going to speak any further on this matter
I can't say that I love the characters but I was really intrigued by their story
Thank you net galley for the copy

Wow! So beautiful! I had to force myself to slow down reading this one. I wanted to see what was going to happen next. It got a little rocky there around the 80% mark to the point I thought was reading a different book, but it recovered with that ending. Just so beautiful!

Thank you NetGalley, Navid Sinaki, and Grove Press for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!
