Okay this book may have been even better than the last one.
Bliss is still pretty annoying honestly. She likes to think she's such a badass but she's not. Which is fine. Because I also like to think I'm a badass but I'm not. I just wish she had some sort of substance to her. All her relationships feel very surface-level.
I am all for the loving between War and Scyth. Holy hotness. I was loving every single minute of their love. It's sweet and hot and I'm here for it.
I'm ready for Nash to play a more pivotal role. He and Bliss finally crossed the physical threshold of their relationship, but it still doesn't feel real yet.
That ending man. Bliss finally hooks up with Nash. Scyth realizes he doesn't really have anyone and Vincent is on the verge of taking over. War learns Sycth killed his Dad and confronts him. Only to find out War's Dad drove over the edge of the cliff before Sycth killed him. Then the police are at the club. Sycth gets taken by the Warden of the Mental Institution he broke out of. OH and also Sycths mother is arranging a marriage for him he can't get out of. Also, War is headed into an arranged marriage. There was just a fucking lot.
The spice was FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC.

Another freaking cliffhanger! And here I was forgetting about Caleb going to the police because I was so focused on Nash putting on his big boy panties and owning up to his feelings.
⭐️⭐️⭐️. 5 stars.
Beware of spoilers
What the fuck?!?!?! Why did SO MUCH happen at the VERY end?? Talk about a cliffhanger!! Like first, Bliss finds out about Nash’s past. Then, War finds out Scythe’s identity 😞. BUT, we learn the truth about the night War’s father died. And then of course, War goes after Scythe, but then the cops and the prison warden show up at Psychos😭😭. So that means Nash, Bliss, and everyone else are in trouble because of ALL THE DRUGS!!! And now we have to worry about Scythe and Vincent with the crazy Warden.
But before all that crazy stuff happened, there was actually good stuff. Like seeing Scythe’s personality. Not necessarily the crazy part, but the funny and sarcastic side. War and Bliss’ relationship progressing. Scythe and War flirting and having their own spicy times with and without Bliss. Nash finally giving in to his feelings for Bliss.
Now, I cannot believe I’m going onto the final book!!! Like it’s gonna be CRAZY 🫣🫣. But I can’t wait to get answers about Axel’s killer, seeing Vincent again hopefully with Scythe too, seeing if the cops found about the club, the situation with the drug dealer, how Bliss is going to handle the truth about Nash’s past, Bliss’ mom, Caleb’s fate, if War will forgive Scythe/Vincent, and literally anything else 🙌🙌.
Favorite quotes/scenes:
“They’re probably at our houses right now, waiting to arrest us.” (Bliss)
“Yours maybe. Not mine. The police have no record of me, and they’re so incompetent they couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag.”
Vincent roared in my head so loudly I winced.
“Jeez, fine. That was bad form. I apologize. Don’t worry about the police. Caleb won’t say anything. Or I’ll kill him. It’s really very simple math, Bliss. Now, how about some nuggies?” (Scythe)
“Little Dog will be just fine. I’ll even give her some water.”
I nodded, satisfied he wasn’t going to try to kill Vincent’s dog while I had my back turned.
“Just enough to drown in.”
“Scythe!”
“It was a joke! Jesus, you’re as boring as Vincent is.”
“I missed you.” (War)
“You only saw me a few days ago.” (Bliss)
“Yeah, but I want to see you every day. You can’t blow my mind the way you did the last few times we’ve been together, then cut a guy off. He’ll go through Bliss withdrawals. And there’s no rehab for that, except for the one between your legs.” (War)
“Can we just keep doing what we’re doing? I like you. I want to get to know you better. And just so you know, I’m so fucking attracted to you that if you say no, I’m gonna be stalking your social media for photos of you to jerk off over.”
“War is such a tattletale. So a guy jumps a secure fence and watches his boss get her pussy licked by a biker. Is that really such a crime?” (Scythe)
“You are such a pervert!” (Bliss)
“I am? Or you are? You were the one writhing around in the dirt, begging him to pound you with his trouser snake.” (Scythe)
“What the hell are you doing back there anyway? How did you even get in? Jesus Christ, Scythe. I nearly peed myself!” (Bliss)
“Please refrain from urinating while I’m in the car. That’s truly disgusting.” (Scythe 🤦♀️🤣)
scythe is everything to me

Trigger Warnings for: sexual assault (including rape), domestic abuse, PTSD, negative portrayals of DID
I am absolutely not going back on my statement that there is harmful representation for Dissociative Identity Disorder in this series because there absolutely is. It just isn’t as prominent in this book as in other books I have read with this harmful trope in it, such as The Pawn and the Puppet by Brandi Elise Szeker (which as of right now is still the worst representation I have seen for it, though I’m sure there are books that are even worse).
Spoiler It’s tricky because Scythe is a killer for hire with a psychopathic family, but I would argue he is not an unfeeling psychopath like I originally believed. He does care for a select number of people, and I love that he’s bisexual. There are times where you can totally forget he has DID because of how silent the other personality is. It’s still extremely harmful representation, and while it’s not as bad as others, just don’t expect it to be any different to something like the film Split or The Pawn and the Puppet, even if it isn’t quite as problematic as those representations in lots of ways.
Beyond that, this book was as hot and sexy as the previous book, more so even, and if you love some bisexual representation and scenes as hot as sin, you would probably enjoy this series.
