Honestly by the end I had no idea what was going on and no desire to continue in hopes of figuring it out. The MC is weak, complains about it all the time but doesn't seem to actually wanna do anything to get stronger, and slut shames almost every other girl multiple times. It was a good premise I think but poor execution.

the whole time I was reading this I kept getting flashbacks to 2018 and when I used to watch Aphmau role plays and gacha life mini movies.
it reminded me a little too much of those alpha wolf gacha movies but I did laugh a lot because of how ridiculous it was.
SPOILERS:
SOME of the characters are cool but some of the plot felt a little too cliche/cheesy for my liking. like three alphas in love with one alpha, no sorry, the ONLY female alpha that is magically able to fight like a war hero with ZERO experience ZERO training and sorry did I mention she has a psychotic voice in her head that tells her to kill everyone. like I get it but why?? I did like how Sadie’s backstory kept her going but to me it seemed like she forgot about her sister quite often, not sure if it was intentional but I swear I only remember her mentioning her little sister around 5 times in the whole book. I guess Jax is cool, I somewhat like his character design (how I imagine it..) but I didn’t like how he changed. I liked him better at the start, when he was nicer and less aggressive because it just ended up being weird and VERY cringy. Cobra was always mean and I get he doesn’t like women because of the whole abuse thing but, how AND why is Sadie the only one he spoke too (AGAIN WITH THE CHICHE). Cobra is by far my least favorite of the three, he made everything feel weird and all the scene and interactions he had with Sadie felt forced. then there is Ascher, he was my favorite at the start. I LOVED and still do love his character design. I think his horns are awesome and his tattoos as well (the roses and fire). also his animal form is so cool. like imagine becoming a whole ram with giant horns. I REALLY REALLY REALLY didn’t like his weird interactions with Cobra and Jax during that one scene and honestly in general. it made me quite uncomfortable especially because I kind of see him as the ‘younger brother’ cause he is around a hundred years younger then both but I guess that’s just me. another thing that really bugged me was their cringy nicknames, there was not once where I didn’t chuckle after reading their lines. OVERALL interesting plot, I like the way they have to battle and while I don’t fully understand why the Fae Queen is sending monsters to the beast realm, I still enjoyed the story and how their world works. I have to say I’m not a fan of the smut AT ALL. it disgusted me so much I had to skip a few chapters to avoid throwing up (being so serious). I read it solely for the plot and my rating is based on nothing BUT the plot. I will definitely be reading the next one because this cliffhanger confused me so much, still like Asher through and I want to hear about the new character which I’m BEGGING doesn’t become a love interest, BEGGING.

Very creative world building. I loved the original characters but at times noticed we were being reminded of characteristics because they could be forgotten. By the end it was more solidified so I hope the repetition is minimal in future books. It was weird the technology mixed with fantasy elements such as phones and television but through magic. Interesting approaches but overall minor to the incredible story getting set up in this first installment!

Just bad. Fmc was a pick me girl. And all the female characters were mean sluts apart from the fmc. I will be continuing the book though

Okay so this review is for the series in general. Is it a perfectly written series that everyone will love? No. This series is definitely not for everyone, but I absolutely loved it. The characters are unhinged on a whole new level. It's refreshing to see the FMC be flawed and honestly remain flawed in certain aspects. The characters are varied but all unhinged in their own ways. I couldn't put this series down, especially when I got to the back half of the series with Arans story. There are definitely some continuity errors, and at times it seems repetitive with the retelling of the same plot points through different POV's, but overall, I loved this series.
If you are not into reverse harem, if you don't like MLM, then this series is not for you. There are strong themes of mental illness, trauma, substance abuse, and PTSD.
I loved the characters, I loved the dynamics between the characters, I loved the premise of the series, I think it was interesting and something that I haven't seen before.
