Actually so stupidly entertaining... Is it high lit? No. But it's getting 4 stars anyway because I had so much fun.

This book is fueled by delusion and nonsense and what can I say? Watch out wattpad ! A new girl is in town and it's HATE by tate james

I’ve heard soo much about Hate (and the Madison Kate series in general) but put off checking it out for soo long—and now, having all but devoured it, I can’t believe I waited soo long!

I don’t know what kind of witchcraft went into making this but I was throughly hooked and genuinely couldn’t put it down. The plot was a lot more action packed than I had expected and all three of the love interests were fabulously broody (or in Kody’s case ridiculously flirty) in the most delicious of ways. If you love the intensity and chemistry of a classic enemies to lovers—but yearn for a spicier outcome —then this’ll definitely be right up your alley!

I’m still quite new to dark romance, particularly of the contemporary variety (I’m an epic fantasy girl at heart), but found this quite an easy intro into the genre and think it’s a good starting point for anyone also new to dark romance.

Obviously given the dark designation, it does deal with themes that may not appeal to everyone, and as such, I highly suggest checking the TWs beforehand.

The drama, the atmosphere and THAT nail biting, cliffhanger of an ending! I have soo many questions, the most important being WHO IS MADISON’S CREEPY STALKER?! I can’t for the life of me figure it out, so I’ll definitely need to get my hands on the rest of the series ASAP!

Also, a huge thank you to Bloom books and Tandem Collective for the PB copy

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book as I tend to find 'Why Choose?' novels are a bit hit or miss. I really, really enjoyed this story though. It was incredibly well paced, and there wasn't any part where I felt like the story was losing its momentum. I liked the characters well enough, although it took me much longer than I care to admit to distinguish the three guys from one another.

I did feel that this was more like a prequel story, as there are still so many threads that need to be unravelled. I also cannot take the word 'engorged' seriously. It reminds me of that scene in '10 Things I Hate About You' and it really threw me off my game - BUT that's just personal preference.

I think it’s safe to say I’m super late to reading this series. Tate James put something in these pages and I couldn’t get enough! And that cliffhanger ending??

This is one of those books where I feel like you need to go in blind. And, although the character Madison Kate can be a little juvenile at times, there’s just something in the way James writes that kept me hooked and wanting more? This was a page-turner and I need to know what happens next!

Well, damn if this book isn't really impressive when it comes to making you feel what MK is feeling. I have rarely felt such justified rage in sympathy with a character as I did with MK. Maybe I was just in the right mood, or maybe Ms. James is just really good at that. Either way, I liked it.

There are a few weird details here and there that might be plot holes, or they are purposeful inconsistencies hinting at future twists. Nothing bad enough to judge by yet. Or, well, okay, one thing. You don't have a previously unplanned college up and running 11 months after a civic disturbance that led to large parts of the town burning down. That's just not possible.

I like how MK is a mix of broken and strong. She has every reason to be a puddle of despair after what she has witnessed and been through. Even so, she refuses to take the guys' shit even when it clearly hits her in her most vulnerable places. She's torn down over and over again, and she just keeps getting back to her feet regardless of how much it hurts. Even when she disassociates due to her PTSD or has a panic attack (yes, these are different things and it irritates me how often authors refer to any episodic symptoms of PTSD as "panic attacks"), she comes back swinging a few hours later.
