[This is an updated review, also minor spoliers]
It's been a few months since reading Creadence and well all I have to say is this is one of my least favorite books. And I don't mean any harm to Penelope their work is pretty tremendous but Credence had absolutely no plot as the book kept going. And it's also disturbing to think about how the main guys knew they were taking in the mc as their niece/cousin (step; they're not blood-related) and it's just so weird because that doesn't stop them from caring about sexual relations with her. And another thing is how one of the main guys practically almost r*ped the mc. And another this worth mentioning is the age gap... the mc freshly turned 18 when she's with the guys while one is in their 40s-50s and the other two are in their 20s. And with me saying all this I don't want to keep people from reading it, if you want to read it go ahead I'm not writing this review to stop you I just wanted to write this a little more in-depth so that for people that do read reviews before reading a book have more of an idea with what they're getting into when reading Credence.
