I really enjoyed this book! The plot was gripping, and I loved how the sports element was present without overpowering the story — it struck a great balance. The secret society aspect? So good! It added an extra layer of intrigue that kept me hooked. What I loved most was Dahlia. She did not back down from Cain — she matched his energy and I was here for it! She wasn’t docile, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, their dynamic just worked so well because of how they challenged each other. I also loved the found family aspect with Cain, Jude, and Preston — watching them slowly start to accept Dahlia despite everything they’ve all been through was such a satisfying layer to the story.

This is definitely a dark romance, so make sure to check the trigger warnings (they’re included at the beginning). But overall? I devoured this and absolutely can’t wait for book two!

Wasn’t sure how I felt about things in the beginning but the MMC grew on me. I don’t know if I liked it enough to read the rest of the series.
