Beautiful Fiend by Lola King

First of all- check your trigger warnings!! This is a dark romance and a lot of uncomfortable scenes in this book.

Rival gangs that are literally at each others throats non stop. When Billie gets blackmailed into helping Caden do some jobs for him in secret we assume all things are going to go hell.. but what happens when the psycho falls for the girl from the other side of the tracks? PURE CHAOS

This is definitely a wild ride for sure! Caden is unapologetically his psycho self with no remorse. Billie is just a a freaking bad ass that takes no shit. The push and pull tension between these two was off the wall in the best ways. Their relationship was doomed from the get go, but seeing them grow as individuals was actually really beautiful. You underestimate how like minded people are in different circumstances and usually want the same things.

Some of the dialogue in the book made me ehh about the interactions amongst the other members of the rivals. I just had a hard time believing that was some of the things they would say, but as always I know this is a work of fiction and can easily move past it.

Over all- I actually really enjoyed this book! This was my first Lola King book and can see why people love it!

Thank you Valentine PR and Lola King for the copy of this arc!
