Just good lol. Reverse Harem with an actual plot that keeps things moving.

Lo was kidnapped as a 13 year old. Years later, she is at a party and catches her boyfriend Darrow (lead of Junior Arrows chapter) cheating. She retaliates by going to hookup with rival gang members and main love interests of book - Saint, Theo, Galen and Caz. They have two rules, they always share and they don’t go back for seconds. After hooking up with the group they inform her she will not be protected and of course later on they end up breaking their own rules as they fall for Lo. The other main plot of the book though has to do with the gangs, there are three main gangs in the area: The Sainthood, The Arrows and The Bulls. Saints dad, Sinner / Neo, is the leader of The Sainthood and was responsible for kidnapping Lo when she was 13 because he was in love with her mum Giana back in the day and they were engaged before Lo’s dad, Trey, met Giana and stole her away. Trey was murdered, come to find (no surprise) that Sinner is responsible. Plot focuses around finding out more of the backstory with the gang and history of Sinner and Trey. Book ends by revealing that Lo is the newest initiate of The Sainthood as Trey marked her w the gangs tattoo when she was 13, something that had been kept hidden till now.

Incredibly long winded series, but good character development. not nearly as much spice as I would have liked but the spice that is is top notch, hence my high rating. the scene the book is set in is interesting and dark, gang heavy.

I was seriously not expecting this book to be as good as it was because holy shit is it good. 

blurb first:

Harlows pulled from school to find out her father died in a car crash, after hours of dealing with the aftermath she just wants to take her mind off of it is the only way she knows how with sex. Only to find her no-good boyfriend cheating on her at some gang party. In desperate need to get away from him, she runs into the infamous sinners 4 boys of a rival gang to her ex. They only fuck girls as a unit and Harlow is more than fine with losing herself in 4 guys as opposed to one. It was supposed to be easy carless fun until a video gets leaked of them and since she was in her academy uniform she was subsequently kicked out of school. The torment doesn't stop there they show up at her new school to torture her. We only find out later just how far and old the hate runs, just how deep the cuts go, Harlow has her own revenge plan but wires or should I say heartstrings get crossed and the hate starts to blur. The boys don't know the whole truth and either does she. Things get messy and out of control and no ones is safe.

This book was actually really good the plot was really intricate, I'm someone who can easily predict the ending or who the killer is in mystery books but the ending of this book took me by surprise.

there are so many things I loved some I'm just going to make a list:
- strong female lead
- fighting scenes
- the chemistry 
- the sex scenes
- the depth of the characters
- her knifes 
- the camera wars 

The whole kidnapping past was gold for the storyline and they didn't even tell us the whole story till the end and it was genius. 

I can not wait to start the second book and just see the retaliation she and the 3 guys are going to pay Galaen. 

Overall if you're looking for a steamy dark exciting read then I defiantly recommend and rate 4 stars.

Loved the book, but if I took a shot for Everytime someone 'roared' or 'flipped the bird' I'd have died of alcohol poisoning halfway through the first book.
