This series was filled with silent rage and absolute filth, and I loved every goddamned second of it!

The dirty talk in these books was jaw dropping! The praise? The degradation? The MMFM dynamic? Chef’s kiss 👌 Most reverse harems I’ve read feature a set of MMCs that are in an already established friend group, so it was refreshing to see these characters all come together separately and bond over their common ground relationships with the FMC.

The pacing of the storyline felt unique as well; a lot of the chapters overlap within the timeline, showing the same events from different perspectives. It had such an interesting revenge plot, at times overshadowed by the number of sex scenes (not that I’m necessarily complaining, the smut was SMUTING), but nonetheless a powerful journey of rebirth. The writing isn't exactly perfect, it definitely needed another run through with an editor for small things like spelling and continuity, but it was a small price to pay for such a steamy tale of vengeance 🔥
