This Bitter End, Should I finish?

Should I finish This Bitter Earth? I read On the Nature of Daylight and it was really well written and I enjoyed the story a lot but… I am not usually a dark romance reader. I don’t mind toxic/possessive Draco either but this just seems a little too intense for me. I think I’m almost to chapter 9… Does he end up chilling out an even a little and should I just stick it out?
