This one was a little gory for me personally. Also, I’m sorry but both of these main characters are off their rockers. It’s just a bit too fucked up IMHO. 

DARK Romance, Stalking, 3 1/2 🔥

Do you ever just read something and think "why did I do that to myself?" This was that for me. I loved the author's previous books in this series, but this was honestly painful. The underlying plot was so much more promising than what the story was. I dully understand the concept behind this series, and the main characters being villains, so the story is supposed to be dark. But this was just horrifying.

The characters were 2D, the writing was often repetitive and clearly lacked proofreading with the amount of grammatical errors and repeated words, the way that Amaya's emotions were basically disregarded by everyone until the last 100 pages or so was honestly baffling to me even for a dark romance.

this was so f*cking twisted & honestly gut wrenching at times, but i ended up really having a good time. but the gasp i let out at the like 85% mark— the way this started out made me not sure i would like it, but it ended up being one of my faves of the series!! i’ve never seen the hunchback of norte dame so i know i didn’t pick up on any of the little easter eggs/throwbacks to the story, but i still had a fantastic time! i can’t wait to see what’s next from this series 👀

Where do i begin i’ve been so excited to read this book since January and even more excited when the cover reveal happened in march i truly loved and enjoyed the possessiveness and jealousy of Cade with Amaya i hate damn Parker though he pissed me off so much Parker is a side character who is also a pos some parts of the book i hated and some i loved i hated how the female main character got r*ped by a side character but i loved how there were scenes from the movie that were kinda flipped but still brought up in the book there were certain things that were said in this book that i loved like “After all, people often ignore traits in others that exist within themselves” idky but i related to that a little more then id like to but i loved it it had me rereading it look 20 times before i carried on reading this book and this book is the 5th book in the Never After series if you don’t know that series its pretty much a series of Villains who get there happy endings all these books are dark romance so be aware of that but the 1st book in this series is Hooked and it’s a Peter pan retelling the 2nd book is Scarred and it’s a Lion king retelling the 3rd book is Wretched and it’s a Wizard of Oz retelling the 4th book is Twisted and it’s a Aladdin retelling and the 5th book in this series is Crossed and it’s a Hunchback of Notre dame retelling theres gonna be a 6th and final book in this series but that is yet to be released and these books are all Spicy with happy endings and no cliffhangers and some of the Tropes in this one is Fairytale Retelling, Forbidden love, Secret romance and Boy falls first oh and also Age gap i highly recommend this series jeez i feel like i wrote a story so overall i rated this books 4 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ READ THIS SERIES oouu and if thats not convincing enough look at how pretty the covers are and oouuu i forgot this the male main character is a Priest and the Female main character is a Exotic dancer NOW READ IT🥰🫶🏼
