There just was no plot and in my opinion this was the dealbreaker for me here.
Even though I kind of felt sorry for Malachai because of his mental illness all of his behaviour was attributed to it but nobody ever does anything about it. Not even Olivia even after she says that this is a problem of his.
The idea behind it is not bad, but unfortunately as said it is missing the plot.
I heard very good things about the audiobook though and the snippets I listened to were amazing so maybe I will listen in on that someday.

Spice rating: 4/5
Violence rating: 3.5/ 5
This is a good read if you're into dark/ forbidden romance. The MMC reminds me of Tate from AHS personality wise but a mute.. This is on the taboo side with adoptive siblings.
I would look up the triggers before reading this book, this book isn't for the faint of hearts.

Quotes:
📕If a masked stranger presses a screwdriver to your throat and tells you to run, what do you do?
📕Go kiss your future husband, little sister. And when you do, you better think about me and all the ways I’ll fuck you in his blood.
📕He broke Parker’s legs with his bat and shoved the handle of the bat down one of the other’s throats, dislocating their jaw and making them vomit blood.
📕Ridiculous—I don’t want to kill her; I want to crush her. There’s a difference.
📕No one could ever make her feel the way I do. Ever. And if they do, I’ll kill them.
