Awaken Me Darkly

Awaken Me Darkly is a book that was part of my romanceopoly pick and so I can't believe that I had to do this, but I had to DNF this book at 60%. I really went into this blindly and I do wish I had read reviews as I could have avoided this book altoghether. I really struggled with this one. The heroine is NOT my type of heroine. I am not sure where the author was going with this one here. Now first off, one of my red limits is heroine abusing men or the hero. And its definitely the case in this one. I just couldn't find this heroine resonating at all. I did love the hero though, so he is the reason I kept with this one for as long as I did. What I really struggled with was seeing the heroine so hateful towards any men in the story, even her partner. And she was so bipolar in certain scenarios that just didn't make sense to me. But this heroine was practically a sociopath in how she viewed men, and honestly she was such a example of a toxic feminists heroine. And quite frankly the hero deserves better than being with someone so abusive. Now having said this, does this mean I am going to give up on this series? Nope. I will give this series another try but I will research the best book to try it out with.
