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 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.

Actually so stupidly entertaining... Is it high lit? No. But it's getting 4 stars anyway because I had so much fun.

This book is fueled by delusion and nonsense and what can I say? Watch out wattpad ! A new girl is in town and it's HATE by tate james

When you start reading a reverse harem, you know you're not looking for anything intellectually stimulating or groundbreaking, but instead the genre falls into what is known as "junk food." There are bad junk food books that are like extra greasy McDonalds or there's top of the line, someone knows what they're doing, Mad Mex Nachos. This one was Nachos. DUDE IT WAS SO GOOD. It kinda fell out of the normal set up of the reverse harem tropes (e.g. one guy is an asshole, one guy is mysterious, and one guy is a golden retriever), but I think in the next few books, this will be fleshed out a bit more. The ending was not what I expected and neither was the stalker subplot. I'm super interested to see what happens, who was stalking her, and then why Archer's blade was where it was. Also I want to know more about Bree, Zane and Dallas. Her dad can drown off the coast of Italy in his fancy yacht for all I care tho.

Thank-you to NetGalley, Bloom Books, and Tate James for the eARC.

Okay. So. This genre? Very much not my thing. I honestly don't even remember my thought process when requesting this book — I think I was just excited to get a whole series, TBH. Would I have made it more than like 10% if this wasn't a NetGalley ARC? Probably not. HOWEVER, I must admit, I am intrigued and am looking forward to seeing this series through.

That being said, I know exactly which customers to recommend this series to and they will be THRILLED. =P
