Little Stranger: A Dark Taboo Romance

look, i knew when i picked this book up that it was going to be all kinds of fucked up. that wasn't what bothered me. what bothered me was how fucking unlikable and annoying olivia was. malachi too, actually. and their parents. and every suitor or partner olivia had. there wasn't a single likable character in this book, come to think of it, and THAT is why i didn't like it.

3 stars..? Maybe??Im very conflicted on my feelings. Idk. Malachi's part was good. Olivia's was... okay. Yeah. I love their dad. Their mom is.... yikes.

This was not very well written IMO. The premise had potential, but the FMC was infantilized from the beginning. Even as a child, she was acting much younger and more naive than would make sense for her age. It felt like the author was trying to pack in as much taboo as possible, but that isnt enough to carry a story. I have seen taboo done well and this was not it for me.
