Not a fan of bully romance, but the plot intrigued me enough to keep going. Checking out the next book mainly for the fmc Aurora. Not really invested in any of the guys tbh. Maybe the next book will change my mind about the men and the romance. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow. My heart is racing as I put this book down. The emotional ups and downs of this book are so good. One moment you will be melting at some sweet gesture, the next cringing at some cruel act against the heroine. Here's the thing though, this heroine is maybe not completely innocent and sweet, she's done some unforgivable acts and seems to be accepting, taking her punishment. But here's the thing, maybe she's going to find her backbone and start making them pay for blaming her for her father's actions. Pay attention to those trigger warnings, there is some messed up stuff in this book! But I couldn't put this book down and I'm anticipating the next book, I can't wait for the fallout!

Such an interesting story. Not one I expected and I am loving the violent/murderous undertones. The back and forth between Aurora and the boys is captivating and I cannot wait to see it play out throughout the series. When The Demon comes to play I feel we are in for a wild ride!

Okay i just got a whiplash, from how fast things happened, for everytime i try to predict something, the author goes into a completely different way, like whoah, i had to readjust how my imagination reels. It seems the dark part of the book is just second focus, it's more of a story of how lost the main character is and how unstable the storytelling is. I can't trust a single character at this point. Can't wait to start book 2.
