If you can deal with the twisted relationship dynamics and focus on the characters and building storyline you will enjoy. You do have to look largely past this to be able to appreciate the novel. Extremely well written, and everything ties together. Definitely an unexpectedly twist at every page turn. I read this in less than 24hrs…

patriciag95's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 68%

It's so boring. I kept hearing so much about this book when I was searching for taboo recommendations, but this was such a let down that I just couldn't force myself to finish. 

I'm sure there's people who will still like it because there's reverse harem, age gap, impact, dubcon, and other tropes that are popular. They're tropes I like too, but not the reason why I started reading. The let down caused a big enough disappointment to override any potential enjoyment.

Supposed it's taboo because they're her step uncle and two step cousins. She had never known any of them, and the step uncle didn't even have a relationship with her father who was his step brother. They were strangers unrelated to her.

I managed to get to 68% yet nothing exciting had happened plot wise, and she had still only slept with one of the guys. The author basically just drowned on about how monotonous life was for the FMC ever since she had moved in with the guys.

Only giving it a 4 star because I pictured them as not family. That was nasty and a no thank you. However the story line outside of that was decent.
