And it was October 30, the night before Halloween. Devil’s Night.
Damon Torrance, Kai Mori, Will Grayson III, and—I locked my gaze on the blood red mask covering the face of the one always in the lead a little more than the others—Michael Crist, Trevor’s older brother.
“It’s just you, Little Monster. Own it or it will own you.”
“Run all you want, Little Monster,” he said, sounding like a threat. “We’re faster.”
They were here. The Four Horsemen. They were Thunder Bay’s favorite sons, and they’d gone to high school here, graduating when I was a freshman.
As individuals we had weaknesses, but as the Horsemen we were invincible. We each brought something different to the table, and where one lacked, the others stepped in.
Three years ago, curious little Erika Fane wanted to play with the boys, so we indulged her, and she betrayed us.
“Trevor’s not my boyfriend.”
“Too bad. I like playing with shit that’s not mine.”
That’s what I admired about the Four Horsemen. They were always in control and always visible.
“You robbed your own fucking store, Rika!” Will laughed and grabbed fistfuls of my sweatshirt, shouting into my face. “You’re the fucking king, baby!”
Will started singing, then slid out of his seat, and I shook with laughter as he straddled me, giving me a lap dance to the music.
“When we used to wear the masks,” Michael said, dropping his voice to a near whisper, “you liked it, didn’t you?
“So you like the mask. You’re pretty fucking sick, aren’t you?” he teased.
“Such a beautiful little monster,” he whispered
“Because you’ve corrupted her nice and good. She’s a force now, and it won’t be long before she’s brave enough to demand what she wants. If you don’t give it to her, she’ll find someone else who will.”
THE KAI AND MICHAEL SANDWICH CHANGED LIVES!

Some of the scenes were so disturbing and the lack of trigger warnings confuses me.
Other than that, the only redeemable characters were Will, Alex and Noah but he vanished for the entire novel after being mentioned for maybe 10 pages.
The epilogue was also one of the worst I read in a book because it made me hate Micheal even more. Speaking about him, the only thing he was doing in the whole damn book was gritting his teeth, slamming her against a wall or yanking Ricka’s hair in order to make out with her. How can anyone be that horny and unwell to enjoy this sort of treatment?
I hated how Ricka was underage (16) in the flashbacks and Micheal was 20! I couldn’t see past the inappropriate age difference

Mais le suspense est très bien maintenu, on a envie d’aller au bout du roman.
