I just am not interested in the plot. It seems predictable.

One things for certain, I want more of our Horsemen! I could not put this book down, I loved every single minute of it. This was my first read from Sarah Bailey and it was masterfully written. The different POVs were really easy to follow, each guy has their own style so it was easy to know who was speaking, even with the title headings (sometimes I didn't read the title of the person). The spicy scenes were AMAZING, like if they were this good in book 1, I can't wait for the rest of the series. Now to patiently wait for Chaos to come out! Definitely read this book!

If only I could give it more stars
I have been desperately searching for a dark RH to get me over my Den of Vipers hangover and oh my darkness! When I tell you that this book got my pulse racing!! I love the dark dynamic that our MC has with these horsemen. I love the twists and turns and can not wait to find out what happens next. Sarah Bailey you are a queen and I adore you!

I have read and loved a lot of reverse harem books over the past year but none of them come close to how much I loved Carnage by Sarah Bailey. West, Drake, Francis and Prescott were EVERYTHING and Scarlett was one of my favorite female leads this author has written.
just to give a high level overview, Scarlett and the boys knew each other when they were younger, she had some kind of accident and was taken away and has no memories of the boys. They are now leaders in the financial industry, known as the four horsemen. She's out for revenge in order to earn her freedom but the guys have their own plans for her.... and she's definitely not ready for what they have in mind.
I've known this book was coming for the past year, I'd read snippets and teasers over the years, listened to the author talk about these characters and I still wasn't ready for this book. The plot has so good and had so many twists and turned that I ended up locking myself in my room so I could read it undisturbed. There is a lot of spice with this story, and group scenes, but there is also so much plot too, it is honestly one of my favorite books of 2021.
I loved all the characters but West is hands down my favorite horsemen.. there is just something about his dark and twisty self that I just love! The other three guys were phenomenal too, and don't get me started on how much I swoon every time Prescott called Scarlett "little lamb". The chemistry between these five characters was off the charts, their individual interactions were just as memorable as their group scenes.
I would highly recommend this book if you are looking for a dark romance or reverse harem story. You won't be disappointed with West, Francis, Drake or Prescott.

+18 Dark Reverse Harem Romance
♧ k!nky
◇ not for everyone so read your TWs & CWs!
• reverse harem MMMMF
• Forced proximity
• enemies to lovers /bully
• kind of second chance
• workplace / office
This was overall a hot, steamy & spicy RH dark romance - dark in that the vibes were... cold? Like bully romance... with a heavy dash of d3gradation k!nk and CNC...
I liked it but I'm hoping the next books in the series will be better because I wasn't

Um. YESSS!
Power. Dominance. Her. That’s what they want, that’s what they’ll get.
I usually know how to start reviews, but dang. I’m speechless. Sarah Bailey has done it again. I couldn’t put it down. I was mesmerized the whole time. I knew I should’ve started this sooner but never too late.
Scarlett is this character who you just feel so bad for. The unknown. The mental scars. The blank spaces. You want her to know. You want to cheer her on. You want her to smart off and just give it to them. I can’t wait to see more from her.
The horsemen. Oh, buddy. They had me over here with a mouth wide open because dang. The talk. The action. The power that radiated off of them was just WOAH. I can’t wait to see what they do next.
I started reading this book and I was immediately confused. Starting, I had so many questions. Assuming what had happened and what was going to happen. By the end, you don’t get many answers but you’re so thrown in that it doesn’t even matter. I am immediately ready to start the next one.

Interested to see where this is going to go. Really enjoying it so far. I don't feel like we have a ton of plot development yet, but the stage has been set. If you like dark romance I bet you'll like this.
