Wow this series is intense and dark but wow I love it!!
Penelope Douglas’s writing is so addicting and had me awake until all hours of the morning because JUST ONE MORE CHAPTER.
Definitely not a story for everyone but wow was it steamy and dark and fun in a really messed up way.

2.0

I forced myself to not DNF this book. I understand that this book is supposed to be a dark romance, but this takes it a little too far in my opinion. The four MMC characters are all terrible people.

They threatened to kill the FMC and the MMC was going to let it happen for an injustice that they had no proof she committed.

The MMC emotionally manipulates the FMC constantly and every problem they have either gets brushed away with a weak apology or sex. I am stopping the series here.

I enjoyed maybe 50 pages of this book, the rest is ridiculous.
