This was very good with a good range of spicy scenes. I throughly enjoy the multiple POV it rounds the story out nicely. I felt there were times the story was a little dragged out, could have ended 100 pages earlier.

Honestly, for what it's worth I really enjoyed this book. I thought that it was fairly well written and the book in of itself was interesting. I would honestly say that I was engaged for the majority of the book and nothing in the book really made me feel anything and it was far from as *spicy* as booktok said that it was, not that it hadn't earned the 18+ warning but somethings were good and others were simply garish.  But besides that, I think if you go into it with an open mind and you like fiesty main characters who have a penchant for violence then you'll like this.

What in the...
Someone get this author a real editor. I'm all for trashy, but most of this was just trash.

Some days you just need to read something that so out of your comfort zone - I have seen a few people interested in this book so I thought what the heck I'll give it a go! #denofvipers comes with loads of trigger warnings and I'll be honest bit is definitely not for the faint of hearted! I devoured this book because the relationships were sincere and I wanted to know more, but the story line and use of violence at times were a struggle for me. Not for the faint of heart! 

When Roxy's dad sells her to the Viper gang as payment for a debt, she swears to kill everyone of them for kidnapping her and holding her hostage, but all is not as it appears and slowly life in the vipers den might not be as bad as it sounds, with four gorgeous men, battling their own demons and their desire for Roxy, what could go wrong. Oh and did I mention there's a war going on? Can Roxy not only survive this new life but thrive in it? If you enjoy a reverse harem style book then this is for you!

I thought the writing style was decent, but found the book to lack plot. If you just want spicy, this book will compensate for that. I enjoyed it when some plot came through. Overall, towards the end I was skipping over pages just to find plot and not read the 100th sex scene.
