This was hit-and-miss for me.

The plot intrigued me as I know from the first book that Cassie doesn't shy away from dark subject matters and the revenge storyline carried out against her father and his friends. However, it felt rushed in places afterwards, making it a vendetta to take out other monsters that abuse others and I were all for it, but it didn't flow for me.

Dylan and Devon, Twins found a scared 8-year-old girl and when their life changed forever. I loved the protectiveness and how they took care of her. Throughout the book, the love bombing is aggressive between them and her site, like on every other page. I know a girl needs to reassure, especially with her past but too much. I love you baby and you're my everything is nice to hear but not all the time. Also, the dialogue felt like teenage speak and I think the only sensible one was Dylan who seemed to be the one who handled everything so they went off on a killing spree.

I glazed over the spice because it was the same every time they got it on and it was constant and also the twin thing. I'm not mad at it but how comfortable you need to be with yours and your brother's cocks in the same space was another Tuesday for them.

I'm sorry I wanted to like this as the first book for me slayed like I felt all the emotions Carly felt in the story. Briar, it's just glimpses I couldn't connect with her. It takes a strong creative woman to think of all those torture scenes, but it felt empty to me.

I read the blurb for the third book looks good so I can't wait for that but yes this was not for me.

Excellent

Briar hasn’t had a good life even when she meets Devon and Dylan she still keeps everything a secret from them. When the day comes she’s had enough they all plot her revenge and that revenge is sweet. Loved how Devon and Dylan protected Briar from the start giving her space until she felt secure enough to bring them into the horrors she had been submitted to by her father and his friends.
