got me out of a slump. little bit intense, havent read a book like it in a while but its so funny and exciting seeing the kids of the royal elites falling in love and the rare moments of their parents. like ronans child remi is an exact copy of him.

Probably won't read any other books in the series. The smut was mostly good, but the plot and character motivations were lacking for me.

The writing style is enjoyable and well done. However, the first half of the book sets up for major character development and growth in a dark mafia type college romance setting, but when it comes to the tense emotional moments at the end of the journey (those realization or character change moments) the dialogue and character writing becomes contrived. For the genre this is both par for the course and on the better side. I enjoyed the main female lead and her darkness, but I wished for more from the male lead; he is quite base line mafia romance demon king bad boy but leans towards psycho vs romantic. The big family moments which solve all problems between the side characters and our main leads are also contrived and at some point the friend group becomes a relic of the first half. It was fun for what it is and the drama between gangs/tension between other couples will keep me reading the series.

Glyndon is a ridiculous name. She's also a combination of the worst FMC character traits: a pushover, helpless, unbelievably altruistic. I also hate MMCs who are rich, buff, and "geniuses". I only stuck it out to see if he actually murdered her.
But, yes, I probably will read the other books.
