Thank you to MJ for sending me an ARC of this book, it’s by far my favourite book of theirs🖤
Second generation books of book series that I love always make me very emotional and this book was no exception. Seeing everyone from the Hollow Boys series grow up, get their happily ever after and interacting with their children was so healing and beautiful.
Every interaction between Rook and Phi made me want to cry my eyes out and the scene with Alistair and Jude near the end almost broke me
“I’m always fucking seeing you, Phi. In every room, no matter how much I want to ignore you, you burn too fucking bright. You’re the goddamn sun, and I hate that I can’t stop looking at you.”
Now let’s talk about Jude and Phi. Both of them are so broken at the beginning of this book and yet they are both so strong.
Their hatred felt palpable and I thought the transition from hate to attraction to love felt so natural. Like Phi herself said it in this book, it felt like their fates were tied by an invisible string right since the beginning.
Jude is my favourite Monty Jay mmc. First of all the name Jude is so perfect?? Idk what it is about that name but it fit him so perfectly and it’s also just such a hot name? The song “Hey Jude” by the Beatles was a constant soundtrack in my mind while reading this.
Seraphina is so iconic and fucking badass. This girl suddenly made me want to get a tramp stamp and dye my hair back to red. She doesn’t take shit from anyone and she doesn’t need anyone to defend her and I fucking love to see it. She really was the smaller female version of Rook and I loved everything about that. But also reading about her taking on a world of pain just to protect everyone around her broke something in me.
I loved seeing them helping each other navigate their pain and slowly healing from it simply by seeing each other and being there for the other.
The writing in this book was beautiful. The emotions were portrayed so vividly you can’t help but feel exactly what the characters are feeling.
I can’t wait to read about Ezra and Andromeda! I loved seeing little bread crumbs of their story in this one and I can already tell it’ll be a good one
The more I think about it the less I like it so changing my rating to 3,5
I liked this book a lot more than Corrupt!! I really really enjoyed this one and I fully understand the hype now 🤭

I literally can’t wait for Damon’s book because I gotta be honest he kinda stole the show in this one. I was more focused on him as a character and how he will develop in his book because he’s obviously an asshole in this and the first book. But one thing I gotta say is…. why is no one in the reviews talking about how utterly fucking weird the relationship between Banks and Damon is?? That shit fucking traumatised me. There’s being possessive and then there’s whatever tf that was. I’m extremely curious how Damon is gonna be redeemed from that because that shit weirded me out more than anything else he did in this book and Corrupt
Like I expected it would, the threesome with Rika and Michael came back to haunt me in this book but that’s really the only thing I didn’t enjoy about Bank’s and Kai’s relationship
At first I didn’t like this book at all but I’m very happy I pushed through because after a bit I started enjoying it and I can see why people say this series is so amazing and addictive
I hope the other books are better than this one though because while I was very entertained and I had a decent time reading this, I did have my issues and I don’t really like Michael all that much ….
90% of the time when the guys were talking I was like “if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions 🤨” like y’all are adult men that literally committed crimes and filmed them… what did you think was gonna happen??
Also Michael being like “You’re gonna wait for me and not be with anyone until you’re 18 while I go and do as I please and now I feel like shit about it so I’m gonna insult you and make you feel like shit” …wtf is wrong with you
Rika was also very childish to me and her actions made me so mad sometimes
I’m very curious to see how the other mmc’s are in their books, because I gotta be honest there were times were I despised them in this book
I don’t know what to think of that scene with Michael and Kai near the end…. I liked it in this book but idk if I’ll like that it happened when I read Kai’s, if that makes sense
That being said, I was very invested towards the end and I’m actually so excited to read the other books because I feel like they’ll be right up my alley
This book was everything!! It was so funny but also very unhinged and I absolutely loved it
I didn’t know I needed a golden retriever who’s also a masked/stalker mmc book until I read this one … i fear I might need to have a talk with my bf about buying a mask …. This book did something to me
Excuse me JOSH?? He was everything 🥵
I love that while Josh is super protective and he has this whole hot, big guy who protects her thing going, Aly is such a badass herself who doesn’t need him to defend her. I want to be Aly when I grow up!!
The fact that this was more a game between the two of them and Aly was just as badass as Josh was so fucking hot and made this so entertaining to read
I loved the banter between the two of them it was so funny and entertaining
I think this would be great book to try if you’re looking to get into dark romances. While it is dark and it has stalking and some other dark stuff, it’s done in a way where it openly acknowledged and kind of explained that it’s darker and taboo. It didn’t feel as serious and lighter than other dark romances. I think for people new to this kind of genre it’d be a great way to be eased into it
I’m sorry to say that I think this book was complete garbage. I really enjoyed the idea of the story in the first book and I was really intrigued how it continues in this book… well it went to shit. I hated every single thing about this book
1,5 stars is being very generous and that’s solely for the unique idea of the story and the fact that I somehow finished this book
There obviously needed to be some sort of problem and conflict in this duet. But for me personally it was too much. It got to the point where I didn’t want to continue reading because it just got me in a bad mood since there was nothing but problem after problem
I don’t think what Valtu did in this book to deal with his grief was necessary to make the plot and I didn’t like it. He became a disgusting, entitled prick with no regard to anyone but himself, who uses his friend as a pimp and refers to anyone he fucks as nothing but a whore. I had my issues with Valtu in the first book and this book did not help that, I straight up did not like him at all
Rose should’ve just cut her losses and find love and happiness elsewhere
I had to start listening to the audiobook at 40% because I did not physically want to pick up this book and spend more time reading this but I still kind of wanted to see how all of this plays out
At least while listening to the audiobook I could continue crocheting my scarf lol (but also the narrator for Valtu? BARF he sounds like a weird 70 year old man)
I had a lot of different feelings about this book while reading it, not all of them good but I still think this was a really good book!
The story feels very unique and I did not expect a lot of the stuff that happened
What the fuck is that ending? I already saw a spoiler about it in another review (thanks for that btw) but it still had me absolutely shook
This also was so spicy and I think it might be too spicy for some people… I however am not gonna complain 👀

This gave me such god of fury vibes but with both mmc‘s as a version of Niko 💀 so that means this was pure chaos… and I’m here for it
The whole they both have girlfriend bit was slightly annoying after a while because it went on for longer than I thought but it didn’t bother me as much as I thought it would
This gave me my dark mm romance fix so I’m happy and I had a great time reading this
This review will probably be a little chaotic because this book put me through the motions and I felt very overwhelmed by a lot of my feelings lmao
I’ll be honest, I loved the first two books lot and I also enjoyed this one though not as much as the other two… and the more I think about this book the less I like it
I think this series would’ve been better if it didn’t escalate quite as badly because honestly at some points in this book I couldn’t quite take it seriously anymore
There were parts in the second book and in this one where I just think Kade was pushed to the point of no return and it felt forced to make him get better (even though that is obviously what I wanted)
So I think I would’ve preferred this series if it were just two books and the story didn’t go as far as it did. It felt a little dragged out after a while and I wasn’t as invested in the book anymore because of it after a while
This book made me sob so many times and there were parts where I thought this is my favourite book out of the three in the beginning but the more I think about it the less happy I get with the way this story turned out
I’m still incredibly attached to these characters though and I think it was a good conclusion to the other two books … but sadly this book somehow made me like the series less in general
I don’t think I’ll read the other books from this world when they come out because I genuinely despised Base’s and Luciella’s “relationship” in these books and while I adore Tobias and I think he’d be a great mmc I just don’t think I can take their story
