Dark, twisted, gritty, boundary pushing, and yet, somehow, it's somewhat romantic. Oh, and addictive. I wouldn't say I loved everything that went on at all times. The cult stuff was sad and creepy. The MC was violent and Styx's interactions with OW sometimes bothered me. Despite that, I was drawn to the characters and wanted good things for them.

This was my first MC type book and I can't say I'm excited for anymore. Huge plead for people to check out TWs. They were intense.

I enjoyed Mae's discovery of the world and her coming to terms with everything she has been through. I think Rider and Mae really helped each other in ways no one else around them could.

I couldn't get into Styx and Mae's love story. He didn't understand her in the slightest and she's been so traumatized the first sign of kindness sticks with her. If I'm being honest neither of them tried to understand the other.

The language throughout the book was a huge no for me. I didn't appreciate how the men talked about or treated the women- even calling the women they loved 'bitches'. Maybe this is a normal thing in MC style books but it definitely didn't work for me.

Overall I don't think this book was for me.

Too smut. I never thought I'd say that but there were smut in the most random moments, </spoiler like she just got kidnapped and all she thinks about is fucking??>
I was also very shocked by all the cursing, at some point it was very unnecessary, and keep in mind I am not a susceptible person

I’ve seen this book recommended EVERYWHERE for years but never got the chance to read it until now and I’m so glad I finally did! 

 

MC romances aren’t usually my jam, but I’m in love with the Hades Hangmen 😍 I’ve been obsessed with cults for forever (favorite type of true crime!) so I loved the mix of The Order and The Hangmen. 

 

Seeing Mae and Styx’s relationship develop was beautifully imperfect at times. They were destined to be together, but had to fight and claw for it each step of the way. The angst makes it that much sweeter ❤️ 

 

The spice in this book was delicious 🔥 I can’t wait to see how the next few books go cause I have a feeling there is going to be some kink coming up soon 😈
