About 100 pages too long (the first hundred-ish, honestly), but once the drama and action started it really flew by. There were a handful of conveniences, but overall it was a satisfying conclusion with some fun plot points and emotional development. I forgot how much this leans into the aesthetics of dark academia, though, and I EAT THAT NONSENSE UP. Quote long-dead philosophers and pretentious poets to me all day with earnest sincerity, please and thank you!

It probably should have happened way sooner, but the sentence "It feels like I have a hundred nipples" just really put me over the ick edge. š
The writing is awful and it definitely feels like we've lost the original plot of the movie.
2023 is all about doing what makes me happy. And this made me quite unhappy.

I really wanted to enjoy this series. I like dark stories, mysteries, secret societies, bully romance etc. The premise is appealing. But there's too much ick/predictability/ annoying character choices for me here. I don't like George and don't buy her as somehow being very bright and earning her way into this prestigious school based on what we see in both books. I don't find her very interesting, and I don't understand the reactions she gets from her romantic partners. There's definitely situations where main characters are revealed to have been very predatory and engage in sexual assault but it's glossed over and forgiven by everyone involved for some unknown reason (love?). Not even a big part of the book, and the author could've chosen to frame these situations in ways that aren't illegal but

When I read Pretty Girls Make Graves I went in totally blind. I hadnāt even read the Stonehurst Prep series. Pretty Girls Make Graves rocked my world. I had such a book hangover it wasnāt funny. I didnāt know what to do with myself. Since then Iāve been counting down to this books release. It was worth every eternally torturous minute.
If Pretty Girls Make Graves destroyed you too, this book will put you back together. It was everything I needed to be whole again. This duet is one of the most intense and haunting Iāve ever read. George, William and Sebastian feel like a part of me now.
This book is everything. The spicy scenes will leaves you squirming and panting for more. The relationship between George, William and Sebastian is so beautiful and perfect. These three fit together seamlessly. Iāve read a lot of mĆ©nage and RH romance but this is hands down my favorite MMF romance, period. I swooned when they were together and ached when they were apart.
This book is still investigating the deaths of Keely and Khloe and the Orpheus Society too. Itās got sizzling spice, mystery, angst and action.
Story 5/5, Spice 5/5 Darkness 3/5, Angst 3.5/5
Fast burn, the sexiness starts around 13% and the first time they get down to business is around 24%.
No condoms, no virgins, both Hs are reformed manwhores, no OW/OM drama, Sebastian is a bossy, dominant priest so there is that, lots of mĆ©nage scenes, mostly no push away but some push away from William at times, there is a bit of separation here from both Hs for different reasons but itās necessary and doesnāt comprise a huge percentage of the book. No cheating, no cliffhanger and HEA.
Safety - thereās zero OW/OM drama and no cheating but this book does have some very dark themes. Thereās kidnapping, claustrophobic situations, cult type activities that I donāt want to reveal because I donāt want to spoil anything but if you have triggers look for all the warnings and proceed with caution.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

And the most disappointing read so far this year goes toā¦This fucking shitshow right here. What in the actual fuck kind of sequel is this? Book one sets the stage for what should be a hot MMF book that includes a priest, a dark prince and a true crime podcast chick. Georgina Fisher (George) is hell bent on solving the murders that have taken place on campus involving a secret society and the death of her roommate but a dark prince and a debauched priest cause her to get a bit sidetracked in all the best ways. Or what should have been anyways. This had all the trappings of a book that was going to knock my socks off with hot sex and a bit of savagery bringing the sick fucks to justice. INSTEADā¦
ā I got an OTT secret society so bogged down in Greek mythology, I needed to take a class to understand who and what TF was going on and I love Greek mythology so for me to be confused, says a lot.
ā I got the most unsexy, underwhelming sex scenes imaginable that kept getting interrupted anytime the two boys were going to go past kissing. If you want to do a dark MMF, you canāt have one foot out the door when it comes to the sex. I will say the rosary bead scenes and the dual āyes, Fatherā were great but they ended as soon as they were introduced. What a waste.
ā This author obviously lost her thesaurus because if I have to see the word āalabasterā again anytime soon, I will die. His alabaster skin, cheeks, flesh. Please get a new adjective when describing Williamās complexion. PLEASE.
ā The most convoluted plot twist ever if it can even be considered a twist and all of the āJusticeā was incredibly lackluster. Really???
ā Another POV of a secondary character that is going to be the heroine of the next book but it had no place being inside this one. Give me William or Sebastianās POV! WTF
I cannot.
