Okay, typically I don’t mind age gap romances, but the protagonist needs to be at least 18 years old. I don’t care that the age of consent is 17 where the book takes place. They gotta be at least 18, okay? Okay. That and the fact that just when I thought this book was gonna end, there was still hours left based on my kindle reading speed. This book was sooooooo drawn out. Those two things were really the only things that irked me. Other than that, I loved our main characters and the found family aspect of the MC and how the club members just accepted and cared for Lou. I am interested in reading the other books of the series.

I started the first book of the series but couldn’t bring myself to read more than the first two chapters. But everyone kept raging about this book so I read it and I was not disappointed. This book was so good. Liked the storyline liked the characters. 
Zeus and lous relationship was cute and hot and just everything. The age gap sometimes made me a little uncomfortable because he said that he knew she was hers since she was seven so I thought oookay but it’s a book it’s fiction so yeah.
But I was not ready for the fucking heartbreak. Since the first Moment Mute was my absolute favourite and I was so excited for his book and then he fucking died.. what the fuck ? Not okay. Literally threw my book across the room.
