I listened to this on audiobook and enjoyed it as much as the first time. Im doing a re read due to only reading this first book 4 years ago but not continuing the series. 

It follows Erika (Rika) who comes from a wealthy family , her dad has passed but her mother is always travelling and not home much she stays with her god parents a lot and their sons. The younger brother Trevor is her match, everyone believes they’re meant to be together but she has always had eyes for the dark older brother Michael.  Rika is 16 years old now and one fateful night has change her future after hanging out at devils night and confronting the four horsemen. Rika is now the target of revenge due to the downfall of that fateful night years ago. 

I like Rika she reminds me of a damsel in distress with a bit of fight in her. Michael is dark and brutal personality but I think I prefer Kai as a character more. Iv been told the next book moves on to Kai’s story and I’m ready for this!! 
The Sauna scene is stuck on my brain and the smut was great.

The book itself regarding the writing of the story and characters as well as those things itself was good. It just wasn’t for me and though I often enjoy dark romance I just couldn’t get comfortable how they sexualised her fear. I get that spark that comes with a little fear play but I feel like sometimes the female mc was just straight up frightened and I couldn’t get behind how someone would find joy in that or how she could be turned on herself. Also a big point for me is the miscommunication I mean if they would’ve just talked a lot of things would’ve turned out drastically different. In the end it definitely is a good book I simply couldn’t identify with the morals of the characters which made me not being able to enjoy the book and also not read any further books in the series.

What in the what wattpad story did I just force myself to read. This book was confusing from start to end and really, the only good thing was the writing. The plot was so confusing and I absolutely haded the characters. Warning: Erika is a weal character who thinks she’s different from other girls but all she does is let herself be controlled and manipulated by everyone around her. The time skips are really hard to keep up with so you don’t start understanding the conflict or even the plot until 85% into the book.
it was so obvious from the beginning Logan was the bad guy. I guess the only twist was exactly how they accomplished it
. Overall it was extremely cringey and I really had to force myself to get through it. Also TRIGGER WARNING FOR R**E!!!! It gets thrown around like nobody’s business and basically ignored by all the characters. The whole plan to get revenge on Erika was disgusting and sick and I cannot believe everyone just moved past it like nothing. The whole “Four Horsemen” thing was weird and confusing and makes me think the author is extremely out of touch with reality like seriously a group of 16 year olds in town getting away with blatant crimes and terrorizing the town while adults are too scared to stand up to them? *eye roll*
NEVER RECOMMEND TO ANYONE
