I’m still personally struggling about whether I like dark romance or not, what types I’m okay with and what pushes my boundaries too far. Part of me wants to like it more than I do, I think. But I don’t want to force myself to be into it.
Maybe it’s because I have a young daughter. Idk. But when she makes her wants known and he refuses, it just gives me the ick factor. Especially since so far, he hadn’t shown me any reason to like him. So he was just an asshat.
The bargains being traded in for intended sexual favors doesn’t sit right well either. But it seems like that may be the premise of the plot so I don’t want to finish. Obviously I could be wrong and it may have taken a turn but I didn’t get that far.
Rhapsodic was fast paced from the get go. It switched back and forth between 15 year old Callypso, who just killed her stepfather, and her 23 year old current life. Shes a siren who uses her manipulation power to control evil men.
8 years later, the Bargainer, who helped her get out of the criminal mess she created as a teen has finally returned to claim his payment/ sex..?
I’ll never know.
