DAMN I just wrote out a whole ass review and Goodreads crashed and I lost it. It’s once again an ungodly time of night but I stayed up because I couldn’t put this book down. My brain is once again mush and I am very tired so please don’t expect this review to be high quality or anything, this is purely my sleep deprived opinion.

Archer finally got his head out of his ass, AS HE SHOULD, although he does continue to mess up for a good portion of this book. Bree is growing on me, I’m liking her a lot more but I’m still a little suspicious and don’t fully trust her yet. Dallas is an actual sweetheart and I love him. Kody and Steele are my boys, I adore them both. Cass was an unexpected sweetie, I really liked him too. Zane is still… Zane. Scott was a creep from the very start and he deserved every hit he took in this book (of which there were many and they were GLORIOUS). Professor Barker and his son Bark are both super weird and giving me bad vibes.

As for that cliffhanger ending, it’s got me fucked UP! If you think for one second that I’m going to simply go to sleep after that and wait until morning to start the next book, you’re dead wrong. As soon as this is posted I’m starting that motherfucker, I don’t care how useless my brain is and how tired I am. I WILL NOT SLEEP until I find out what happens next. I’m absolutely hooked and I have zero regrets.

Good lord. This author knows how to end a book on a cliffhanger. My heart is in my chest. So many secrets...just when I think I'm figuring it out this author changes things up.

If I could kiss Tik Tok for helping me discover this series I would. One of the hottest reverse harem series I have read.

4.25/5⭐️ • 2.5/5🌶️

So I’ll say this again the cliffhangers in these last couple of books are insane and I feel for the people who actually had to wait between books. The plot line is starting to really start rolling now and is making me have a lot more questions. Also the why choose hasn’t really started happening but there has been some passing around in case anyone was wondering about that for the series. But again there is another book so I’ll see what happens with it. But the series is good and quick. If I were to give this as a recommendation it’s a good read if you were to be in a reading slump. It’s quick and while it’s dark it hasn’t been super heavy, and for me has felt like a palate cleanser.
