Note from Willow
This book is heavy on anti-Christian religion and their god. Parts of this book mock him, which can be unsettling and uncomfortable for some.
Lured into Darkness was my way of working through my religious trauma and hatred for god. I understand if you don’t want to read this because of it.
Spoiler note about the book's ending
Warning: Please skip this part if you don’t want spoilers about the ending. The ending of the book isn’t a traditional HEA. It’s noncon to dubcon-forced HEA. That means the FMC escapes, and the MMC uses dick and blood magic to persuade her to stay with him. The epilogue shows the FMC is happy with him and doesn’t regret anything.
