3.0

Ummm what the hell is this book only bloody part 1!?!??!
Uuurrrgggg I do not wanna wait for more book! I want them not to have a cliffhanger! Especially this one.
I gotta admit I did quite enjoy the book. I feel like Maddox and Marcella needed to have a few more actual conversations and just like time together to really cement their relationship but I did really feel that Maddox was in love with her. I didn’t feel it as strongly from her tho, but there was still love and lust there. I would have also liked it a little more if Maddox had been able to ask Marcella to go to such extreme lengths to prove herself to him. Or even just any lengths really. The relationship felt a little one sided tbh.
I was honestly a little worried about this book, since the last book she released (twisted craving) I couldn’t even finish. Hell I barely even started it. It turns out I just don’t really give a shit about adamo, which sucks cos I remembering liking him a lot. However this book was a lot better. Much more like the first couple of books in the bound by series. I really like Marcella and I wished we’d seen a little bit more of her. And I did really like Maddox too. It really sucked that he basically had no power at all in him club tho, and that his club was super gross. I did also like that there was a lot more mafia/MC type stuff in this book. It felt less like every other romance novel and more like what it should be. I just wish some of the violence that had occurred had either been from the two mains or for their benefit, if that makes sense. It felt like both of them were more victims of their world rather then leaders of it.
While the ending was unsatisfactory because of the cliffhanger and like the implication of another book instead of moving on to the other kids stories, which I’m desperate for, I do have a wonderful imagine of Maddox and Marcella riding off into the sunset together which I will keep close to my heart while waiting for the next book. Also I swear to god if the next book isn’t them being sexy and bad together then I don’t even want it. Like if it takes the whole book for them to be together then like legit don’t even want to pretend to read it.

This book also makes me think of arianna grandes music video for into you. Like that video is what I want the second book to be. It better be bloody amazing for me to accept anything else!
