aannabakss's review against another edition
The four love interest’s (Ryder, Kenzo, Garret and Diesel) suck. I would say that somewhere along the way their brains stopped developing so that’s why whenever I read their POV’s they sound like 14-15 year olds (could even argue for 13). Only this can explain why they do too much throughout the book. Am I supposed to feel sorry for an incel or a rapist or a pyromaniac.
As for Roxy… girl stand up. It’s sad to say that I liked her character up until the point they kidnapped her. I truly wished that the four men she beat up in the beginning were the actual vipers but of course that can’t happen because as always the men are protected by plot armour. I’m tired of authors making the main character super badass and unbeatable until they come across their love interest and suddenly they’re the weakest person in the world and can’t even land a punch. It’s okay to allow the women to beat a man up.
I’m still trying to find the redeeming qualities in the men that she says makes her love them. All the male interest’s do is scream at her, degrade her, keep her prisoner and play with her but yet I’m supposed to agree that the men truly love her. Trying to find the romance in this book is harder than trying to find where’s Wally. It’s so obvious that she’s suffering from Stockholm syndrome because how else do you fall in love with psychopaths and sociopaths who consistently treat you as a toy for their pleasure. Also are we supposed to believe that Roxy has all the power in this book but in actuality how is she supposed to fight four steroid taking, over noxious and controlling men. Let’s not even start on the level of violence the men commit that can rival actual serial killers.
The sold to 1D by my father story’s on wattpad hit better than this.

This is, by far, the worst dark romance I have ever read. If not one of the worst books I have read. Omg. What even was that?
This book could have been such a good story had the author actually thought a bit further than:
-how dirty can I make the sex
-how disgusting can I make murder
-how many times can I use the word viper and snake related puns
-Roxy's wardrobe
-crazy bastard
-I hate you
This is over 600 pages of the same scenes and lines. 400 of these pages can be ripped out and you would miss nothing.
Roxy does not come off as strong. She comes off as unappealing, trashy and in need of a good kick.
And everyone and everything is scared of them? And they own everything and everyone?
No, man. I'm actually angry now. Fire your editor, please. I have read fanfiction better than this.

I've read fanfics that had better writing then this book and that was deeply upsetting since people raved about this.
The characters were rushed in fleshing out their development, and everything felt sloppy.
