Giving this 5 stars because I know it’s going to stay with me for a long, long time. It was well written and the story was riveting. More than that, I really kind of admire that the authors were willing to go to some incredibly dark places that I know most would never touch. Plus, it’s the first time I’ve read non-con where it was actually convincing and logical that the FMC fell for the MMCs. I might change the rating after a reread but for now this was peak dark romance to me.

These books are a fast paced slow burn! So many different things going on at once but it all flows and works together to make one badass story!

This was a good squeal! You get to see how strong Story is and how she starts to fight back. The relationship with the boys was really starting to get to a point where you can tell they are starting to care, but then something happens and we are back to square one. The ending of this is kind of crazy. I started the third book right after I finished this and so I’m getting plot points confused.

Meh. Good. The humour is entertaining. It’s darker than book one. And the melodrama and organised crime isn’t for me. Not sure if I’ll skim or read book three

4.5

this one was as good as book 1 in the series, although way darker and more twisted. though i love dark romance a lot, this one was, from time to time, really hard to read and made me feel uncomfortable and disgusted a lot. so really check the triggerwarnings here! story is such a badass fmc and i like all the men as well (but rath is my fav forever, that won't change). hopefully, in book 3 we'll finally find out who the real ted is, because i'm going absolutely crazy over that!
