I loved seeing the characters and the relationships between them evolve. Bliss definitely grew in this book. This book had both amazing spicy scenes and a lot of darker themes. The dark themes were done really well. The plot seriously thickens in the book. And whilst you're exited because of all the progress, you're constantly tense because you feel the shit show coming. You know that secrets are inevitably going to come out that'll ruin what they've built. But nothing can compare you for how bad it'll explode and the plot twists that'll melt your brain. How the fuck are they going to get out of this? Can't wait to find out!

Here I am thinking she can’t top after her prison series and she proves me wrong! These books are insanely (😝😏) delicious! I’m starting to get it in my head I could have my own why choose romance scenario thanks to her!

I LOVE Scythe in control but at the same time I kept hoping we would see Vincent re-emerge.

Loving the sons of anarchy vibes in this one as well! 

I’m literally counting down the days until the next installment!

4/5 ⭐️

elle thorpe literally never misses with her books. i swear they have crack in them because i can never put them down. this book picks up exactly where start a war left off and i honestly loved that we got scythe instead of vincent in this book. don’t get me wrong, i love socially awkward and protective vincent, but scythe is something else entirely and it is phenomenal! i did feel like we didn’t get as much in this story about discovering who axel’s killer is, but instead got more of how war, scythe, nash, and bliss all work together. and honestly i didn’t mind the smaller amount of plot in this book simply because i wanted more RH action! it was steamy, hot, and so so spicy; elle never disappoints with her spicy scenes. i do wish we had gotten more of nash and bliss because brother’s best friend is so hot to me, but i have a feeling we will see more of that in book 3! this book was a really coaster of emotions, elle really knows how to throw her readers for a loop and play with our emotions. as always, their is a cliffhanger to this book that has me counting down the days until book 3 releases! there is so many things that need to be resolved in the third book, but i have no doubt that elle will release a beautiful conclusion to this book.
