Vile Boys by Clarissa Wild

3.0

To me, Sick Boys was perfection, and while I enjoyed Vile Boys in general, Crystal and Ares felt hollow to me. Especially Ares got on my nerves. He acted like a jealous alphahole without the occasional charm to balance it out. The interactions between Crystal and him felt forced whenever I compared them to the connection Crystal established with Blaine and Caleb. Even when we finally come to the explanation of his behaviour, for me, it was already too little too late. My favourite parts were definitely the cameos of characters from the previous stories. They don't take themselves too seriously and realise that at the end of the day, they're all sociopaths. Where Ares and the other Tartarus guys took themselves way too serious, to the point that they were emotionally sabotaging themselves in the most obnoxious ways. 

I finished the book because I do enjoy the authors writing style and the fast pace of the story. Personally, this is my least favourite in the series.
