The 85% mark/ chapter 25 part of this book gets five stars and will live rent free in my head for awhile 😌

This book is supposed to be dark romance about these men that want to get revenge on this girl that made some of them go to jail a few years ago. My problem with it was that it wasn’t really that dark and if you are gonna go there then go big. I would have preferred to see more stuff they did to mess with her and the others pushing Michael’s limits more. I also think that Rika should have saved herself more in a few scenarios since that seemed like kind of the point. It’s a fun read if you throw your morals out of the window.

this book is 50% assault, this relationship is so toxic and disgusting I don’t think anyone should read this weird trying to be sexy book where consent is never completely there.

this was so bad. so problematic. i saw alot of people recommending it so I thought I'd give it a shot but there's so many problematic issues (sexual assault, abuse, grooming, victim blaming) and people are okay with it? i didn't even want to add it to my read list but with all the good reviews someone had to say it. and they weren't even addressed as issues, they were just skimmed over as if these things were okay to do?

This was... a roller coaster. And not the great kind, but the kind that gets set up in a day and you're kind of worried about it's safety.

I'll give it one thing, the intensity and tension we're off the charts. But there was just SO much going on. At times it felt like a classic bully romance, but then it got murder-y, and then it seemed like it was trying to be a mafia romance sans mafia?

All in all, a good quick read, but DO NOT ignore the triggers, this sh*t is DARK.
