Unsere Bewertung

Acts of Desperation is raw and emotionally heavy.
It centers on themes such as insecurity, self-harm, and addiction, while also adding themes of lust and obsessive love. While they aren't dark as the others, they make the story dark and heavy, adding in elements of lust and desperation.
I read this in two days, I couldn?t put it down. What an intoxicating read.
