I thought I would really love it because a lot of my reading buddies did. But I just didn't get it. I have no problem with violence, dark, gritty, angsty stuff, or kink. But this just seemed so cold and distant and I really didn't give a sh*t about any of the characters. There were pretty damn gruesome parts and he was alpha to the extreme, but it was too extreme and the heroine was meh. I never got a good sense of her at all. The story had so much drama and craziness in it that it seemed weird how unexcited and uninterested in it I was. I kept reading only because I figured it had to get better. It didn't, in fact, I think the lack of emotions became even more obvious because normally there's more further on in the book. It just didn't work, at least not for me.To be fair, the sex was hot in a non-emotional way. I'm not sure if the author wanted it to be like that, but it seemed non-emotional to me. And the author wrote well, but IMO, there is way better stuff out there.
