I DNF after the rape scene. This book should really come with warnings.

 I liked the book just fine. I just didn't like how the audio book "updated" some of the characters. In the prequel Moth To A Flame, Morgan being deaf isn't mentioned much so when I got to this book and it's a MAJOR part of her story line, it was interesting and through me a little. But i was able to get into it beings though the deaf community is so close to my heart and I havn't read a lot of books with a deaf character in it. I kind of wish Ashley would have kept her deaf a little longer in the series because it was a interesting characteristic in a book character. Also, another thing not mentioned much is Ethic's scared face. This book makes like he's PERFECT looking, when in MTAF he was burned and scared badly from a car explosion. But whatever, those are just some major differences I noticed from Moth to Ethic. Hopefully as the series continues it will stay consistent with how the characters are now. It was a good book can't wait to get to the second one this week.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Ethic I


Ezra Okafor (Ethic) is a street legend and no stranger to loss. After his daughter is assaulted, he’s out for revenge. While avenging his daughter’s virtue he accidentally kills a little girl. Riddled with guilt, Ethic is drawn to the little girls mother and falls in love with her. 

FIRST… Nish is the worst kind of person, an enemy disguised as a friend. She is just an all around grimy person. Hopefully Morgan will start to see her own worth and fight that young lady 😬 instead of continuing to ignore her bad behavior.

I honestly liked Ethic and Alani and i was being very delusional and thought maybe she would never find out what he did. It bugged me that Ethic was so against Messiah and Morgan being together, like you technically aren’t out of the game either and you’re haphazardly entertaining Alani. It just came across very self righteous and hypocritical. 

The book is very sad and honestly i just wanted Alani to catch a break. She just kept getting knocked down, so I’m rooting for her.

A 17 year old girl lusting after a 26 (27? I don’t remember) year old man being portrayed as normal. And he has to “restrain himself” 😟😟😟.
