Unorthodox

Yup, unpopular opinion or not, I'm not jumping on this bandwagon and saying how great 'Unorthodox' was because it wasn't. Whatsoever.
 
Don't get me wrong, I love dark gritty romances that may not always be suited for everyone and the author wasn't lying about the triggering topics featured in this novel: child trafficking, rape, kidnapping, abuse, murder, torture and more.
 
All in all, it was a bit too much even for me (who would have thought!) and I just couldn't bypass those moments to look at the 'romantic' portion of this dark romance which became less appealing after everything was said and done with our lead heroine, Addison. Plus some of the scenes left a bad taste in my mouth and those particular triggering topics made me feel too uncomfortable to continue this read so this became a big nope for me before I even reached the halfway point.
 
Nevertheless I gave this author a whirl and for the obvious reasons, her works (not just including this one) just aren't for me.

“Make it hell.” KV sure as hell did too! 

I simultaneously love and hate both Max and Addison, and cannot decide if they’re a match made in hell or if they’re going to be the death of each other. All I do know is that this book was a whole freaking ride and KV had me feeling so many emotions— I bounced from being devastated, to anxious, to hopeful, and back to devastated again. But I (of course) have not learned my lesson and need the second book in this duet ASAP because I apparently like the pain. 
All that being said: 5 stars, a must read if you’re into super dark and twisted romances with broken/unredeemable characters that you somehow feel sorry for and end up loving unconditionally, and especially if you like pain.
