Review: A deliciously dark and twisted romance full of gangs, violence and wars. R.A. Smyth is able to create a harrowing and enthralling dark why-choose romance that will leave you on the edge of your seat waiting to see who falls next in this complete collection of the four book series. While each book is great on its own, this omnibus collection includes multiple never seen before bonus content from different MCs POV that will blow your remind!
Black Creek is set inside the same world as her previous romances and there are some overlapping characters you see cameo throughout. The way Smyth was able to create the interconnected worlds allows you to read any of the series in any order but also builds upon the plots and events if you read them in the order she recommends. I loved how Red and Hadley were already known to one another and found their friendship to be a bright light in Redโs story. I also enjoyed how Beck is seen briefly since I loved him in Pacific Prep.
The area I found the best within this set was the extra chapters the conclude each book since they are from a different guysโ POV. I felt like they gave you a sense of completeness for some of the scenes done and enjoyed getting to read how Red affected each man! As a why-choose series, the multiple POVs were a must have for me and Smyth truly knows how to craft a harem with each characterโs individual voice. This is a set perfect for anyone who enjoyed why-choose romances on the darker side that will captivate you from the beginning!
Rating: 5/5, a wild ride through Black Creek and its favorite lovers!
