This was super dark and I loved it. Even though the misogynistic language sometimes made me cringe, it suited the characters perfectly. The sex slave cult was a bit over the top and definitely disturbing, but seeing the atrocities that Mae had endured made her character arc all the stronger.

In the real world I would hope Mae would get therapy and not trade one horrific cult for a cult of another type (which let’s be real, gangs and MCs basically are like cults). But in fiction, I just ate up Styx and Mae’s fated relationship. I know this series is controversial, but I plan to read through it to make my own assessment. So far, book one starts really strong to me.

Also the audiobook narrators were phenomenal, perfectly capturing the unique accents and cadence of the characters. I’ve downloaded PDF files of the following books to read on my kindle, but I might just continue with the audiobooks if they’re as well performed as this one.

the story and premise were a 10/10 for me, but the execution of it/actual writing were a 5 or 6/10.

it’s a dark book that is full of terribly written characters and an even worse plot line. Could not finish and won’t be going back.

honestly this book was just boring me. so many words with so little happening except the fmc reliving her trauma in extreme detail, the mmc getting mad he wants her, leaves for a month, and continues to have sex with other women. i just couldn’t do it anymore

Wow. I wasn’t sure about this book, but it wasn’t that bad. I’m pretty sure I skimmed the last 6 chapters bc I want to read Rider’s book. It was ok, some grammar errors, good plot; did not like the excessive “bitch” 😭 i understand thats “biker slang” but damn. spicy scenes were ok, ive read better on wattpad. But yea, definitely worth it to continue reading the series

why is it that i always like the villain more than the MMC??? like, they brought up Rider, medic, exsoldier, AND I JUST WANTED HER TO BE WITH RIDER 😭😭😭

it has dual POV!!
