I love this one.
I guess it's a tik tok book but I don't do booktok. I bought it for the cover. 
But then the audio was super cheap so I listened to it and it was so good. Brooke Daniels and Lucas Webley do such a phenomenal job with this duet narration 
Madison Kate is framed for a crime she doesn't commit and she blames the male main characters in this story. Reading some of the reviews, there are a lot of DNFs because she thinks they are hot and didn't take revenge on them. Well they didn't keep reading. It starts a little slow but it really picks up. 
The guys are hot. I mean, they are kind of bullies but that doesn't mean they aren't objectively hot.
There's a lot of other stuff going on too...her PTSD and her mother's murder and her stalker and gangs...it seems like a lot but it all works. 
It ends on a cliffie but it's a completed series.

I couldn't get behind some of the character traits. The writing was kind of corny, dialogue didn't flow well in some places. The name Madison Kate is a bit obnoxious after reading it a few times.

I honestly don’t understand the hype of this book. With that being sad I will finish the series cause maybe, just MAAAYBE it gets better! Spice was on the milder side, but I can imagine it’s because this is going to be a slow buildup for the later books. It was more world building than anything.
