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!

I had seen this book around before it blew up on Booktok, but I was never really interesred in reading it. Then seeing everyone rave about it, I was more curious, but it still did not seem like something I would enjoy. Boy, was I wrong? I could literally not put this down, and I already want to read the second.

Damn. I’m a little disappointed we didn’t get any RH action, but good things come to those who wait. Unlike Penelope Douglas’s Devils Night series, Tate James gives us the perfect mix of dark romance and spice.

I absolutely loved this!!!

Great start into the series; I am one hundred percent intrigued to read more after that cliffhanger ending!

Though this book reminds you of your typical dark college reverse harem romance, for me, it’s so much more than that. The story is dark but in a unique way. The atmosphere of some scenes reminded me of “Corrupt” by Penelope Douglas and though I have to admit that I really did not like “Corrupt”, I love the way the atmosphere was used in “Hate“.

I already read the Kit Davenport series by Tate James and anticipated reading more by this author. The Madison Kate series seems to be exactly what I’m looking for right now and I’ll immediately read the next book!
