Have mercy on me, I swore I would never read this book but I was in the mood for some chaos and it delivered. 

This was some delicious material, absolutely fucked in a lot of ways, cause we got typos and weird wording and shit just not making sense. So yes, that did take me out if the book. 

BUT LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. Brother, the story makes up for it. What a chaotic plot, I laughed out loud so many times. I get why people say this book is just for enjoyment and not to be taken literally. Because I was thoroughly entertained. I smashed this. 

So yes, I am deeply invested. I absolutely LOATHE these heirs but oof, they make for some good reading material. Hell, everything in this book makes for good reading material. Keep that in mind folks.

I really liked the theme of this book! It’s so interesting in this world of Fae and the rules and beings that are in it. There are some MAJOR alphaholes but I think it’s going to be so interesting to see them have redemption arcs in the future books!

Okay well heck

I think this is my first 3* review because of the story line I can see where it's going but I've never been so frustrated and trauma stress from characters in my life. I honestly hate the Heirs the self entitled d!cks and this is bullying and I'm all for a bully trope but heck I hope they don't get together any of them this sucks

Not interesting at all. Very immature and juvenile. Couldn’t get into it

2014 wattpad vibes. The main characters are the most special girls in the whole wide world, and all of the men they interact with need to be put on a list somewhere.  A much more entertaining read when it’s not taken seriously

Content Warnings

Graphic: Bullying, Sexual assault, and Toxic relationship

Moderate: Sexual content

Minor: Death

The book focuses heavily on non-consensual acts that, while not explicitly sexual, still have sexual connotations. These things are considered not only acceptable within the context of the story, but also “exciting” to the POV characters

I'm not sure how many stars to give this... The story, plot, and the whole Other world this takes place in is great. But the amount of bullying, shaming, sexism, and cruelty is just too much for me. I won't be able to continue the series.
