Let me start by saying this: if you're into dark romance with a cult twist, *High Demand* will either be your obsession or your nightmare. I devoured it in one sitting—partly because I couldn't look away, partly because the plot twists glued me to the page.

The Good: The chemistry between Res and Jaxon is ELECTRIC. The cult backdrop? Chillingly fascinating. And that ending? I literally gasped aloud—no spoilers, but trust me, you'll need therapy after that cliffhanger. The smut is top-tier (if you're into morally grey stalker types... which, guilty).

The Bad: Okay, let's talk logic gaps. Security guys offing themselves over seeing Res naked? Dramatic much? And Res's 'reformed cult victim' vibe vanishes whenever Jaxon commits atrocities—she shrugs it off like he forgot to take out the trash. Also, minimal descriptions left me squinting at my Kindle like 'Wait, where ARE they?'

Real Talk: This isn't for the faint-hearted. Religious trauma? Graphic violence? A menstrual cup scene that lives rent-free in my nightmares? Check your triggers. But if unhinged characters and WTF moments are your jam, grab popcorn (and maybe a stress ball). Just know: it's more 'dark erotica with plot sprinkles' than deep cult exposé.

Verdict: 4/5 for sheer addictiveness, minus 1 for consistency flaws. Already pre-ordered Book 2—I’m in this toxic relationship now.
