I absolutely loved this!!!

Great start into the series; I am one hundred percent intrigued to read more after that cliffhanger ending!

Though this book reminds you of your typical dark college reverse harem romance, for me, it’s so much more than that. The story is dark but in a unique way. The atmosphere of some scenes reminded me of “Corrupt” by Penelope Douglas and though I have to admit that I really did not like “Corrupt”, I love the way the atmosphere was used in “Hate“.

I already read the Kit Davenport series by Tate James and anticipated reading more by this author. The Madison Kate series seems to be exactly what I’m looking for right now and I’ll immediately read the next book!

I am going to take deep breaths, and try to relax because THIS DAMN CLIFFHANGER IS DISRESPECTFUL Tate James.  I cannot WAIT for the next 3 books !!! But I will because, hook, line, sinker. Maybe I’ll come back and add to this review later, but right now I don’t even want to think about it!! Lol it’s a great story though for sure, it starts off cliche rebel girl with rich daddy issues breaking the rules and then life ending as she knows it but then gets very interesting. Towards the end you’re loving the “enemies” before BAM stab stab (😉) and you’re left in a glass case of emotions.

Solid start to a series, but I definitely want more. Hot smut and suspense/thriller vibes with mystery stalker & unclear past coming to light.
