The book was great.
A perfect example of men that we love in book but not in real life !

This book is definitely dark - read trigger warnings. 

I have mixed feelings. Overall I think I liked it? Definitely dark and definitely dragged on in parts, but I’ll give it 4/5 stars.

There were parts where I  enjoyed this book but it definitely dragged on. Super spicy parts, I really love spicy books but it felt like that’s all the book was - to the point I’d skim through it. It was repetitive and every chapter (I think there was like 70 chapters) had a spicy scene that was the same as the last time she slept with that person. Jen I was halfway through and saw it was only A WEEK she’s been there… and she’s loving them? Please. Roxy bothered me a lot. She was really irritating and cringey, the best way I could describe it was she had the pick me energy and it was annoying. Ryder was definitely my number one but everytime I got to his POV it was like 5 minutes long and everyone else’s was like 15-20. As much as I LOVE a spicy, f’ed up dark romance, I almost looked forward to parts where they were just existing and having fun together and for once NOT having sex. I truly don’t know how I made it through this book I remember towards the end I was rolling my eyes and huffing and puffing because there was still like 80 pages to go. I wanted to DNF it but I was so close to the end I sucked it up and I’m mad I spent my time reading this book. It was on my TBR for awhile and I kinda wish I kept it there lol. It also didn’t need to be this long of a book… it felt like writing a paper and having to reach a certain character limit because it was repetitive. Ugh honestly save your time and sanity and don’t read this, or do but the reviews mentioning the same things were right and I wish I read them before hand. So if you read it, good luck

Poorly paced. Everything was way too fast. Spicey scenes were good, but the overall plot and world building was poorly done. I loved the vipers, each male character was amazingly written, but I couldn’t stand the FMC. Her dialogue was cringey at times. Felt like the book was longer than it needed to be. But the action was fantastic, the male characters were great, and the spice scenes were 🔥
