Spice: 4.5

An interesting dark romance - why choose with lots of psychological display.

I really love all the tropes; Why choose, Reversed harem, Forbidden Romance, Found Family, Trauma healing and many many more. 

I enjoyed the way the spice and its development is written. It makes it feel so innocent. I find it hard to explain but I basicly mean that eventho its a why choose with 1 girl, 3 guys, it was all so gentle and it didn't feel wrong at all. 

I like the psychological display and how it connected all of the characters together. The spice was really good because of its variety and descriptiveness. 

For sensitive readers, be careful because this book starts of strong with a certain trigger warning. <s>(rape)</s>

Conflicting thoughts:
The writing style is less for me. I wasn't able to fully enjoy it.
I found it had a lot of repetitiveness when it comes to the usage of certain words and certain descriptions of feelings.

The characters are great but even there it was missing something, they were rather simple in my opinion.

I did enjoy reading it because I really loved the why choose here and its spice but the rest was kinda 'meh' for me.
