Slight Spoilers

I absolutely love Harley Quinn so remove the joker and add more men and I am hooked! There is a slightly creepy thing with a gummy bear that kinda throws me but otherwise this book is fire. If anyone wants to by let the paperbacks and send them my way I don’t think they’d ever leave my library.

Candy is unhinged and I love it. Definitely finished this book in one sitting.

Crushin’ Candy by Maddison Cole is a dark reverse harem horror romance. This is the first book in the I Love Candy trilogy.

I absolutely love Maddison's books! I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't help but binge it in one sitting. I really enjoyed getting Candy, Ace, Jack, Spade, Malik, and Jester's points of view throughout the book. The chemistry between Candy and each guy is off the charts! 

The book ends on an amazing cliffhanger which wasn't a surprise since its the first book in the trilogy. I can't wait for the next book in the series to be announced so I can get more of Candy and her men's story. 

I would highly recommend this book if you like dark romances, horror romance, or reverse harem romances.

I definitely enjoyed this book but it feels like im missing key information. I'm not quite sure why Candy does what she does, why the boys worked for the big cheese in the first place, or why they need the criminal enterprise with the bar? I hope answers await in the next few books.

This book is all over the place and when the big twist happens it's completely out of left field but not in a good way. It's like there were a couple chapters removed or something. Good plot, poor execution.
