This book, this book right here is everything you would want in a secret society dark college romance book. Ryat is the the morally gray guy you want to have by your side. It’s literally his whole lifestyle and what he does in order to protect what’s his. Not only is he morally gray but he has such a soft spot for Blakely and I just loved it.

Ryat’s relationship with Blakely changed him in a way that made him want a future with her. They created this unbreakable bound that even Blakely wasn’t willing to let someone destroy. Blakely truly came into her own with the help of Ryat and it was so sweet to see how they work together to move forward. 

Now this book is a deal romance and we do get all the juicy and spicy senses. It’s very graphic and goes into great detail with the spice along with everything else. Because of that, the spice level for me is a 5. With that said, please read the trigger warnings before reading this book.
