Alright, I have been teased and teased with this book for months. MONTHS. I am so glad that these two brilliant brains put this world together. I am in LOVE!!

The Deadly Seven run the town that Haliee and her dad move to. One of them is undercover to help them in witness protection. This harem is EVERYTHING! They may all be dark and twisted in their own way, but Haliee brings out their good sides and can help them control their demons.

Just okay……….

This is okay at best. The whole witness protection aspect is super unbelievable and poorly designed. The guys don’t really come across as scary just whiny teenagers. The whole mean girl Amber really isn’t needed and very cliché. Forgiving Creed for basically raping Hailee and saying it’s just him is weak and unforgivable. Overall the premise is interesting but needs work.

2.5/5 that I rounded down because it just doesn’t compare to books I’ve given 3 stars this year.

I feel like there’s a lot of potential here — that’s the only reason I’m going to continue the series. There’s a lot of time jumping, so much so that I’m not even really sure how much time has passed from the start to the end of the book. The premise is interesting though and the cliffhanger is definitely effective.

Approximately 0% believable in any sense of the word…

BUT still 100% fun to read. I was a bit torn on the rating but ultimately went with 3 because while I enjoyed how insane the story was it had too many other things going against it to rate higher. If you don’t take it too seriously this is a fun story for all it’s insanity.
