Spice was decent. Pacing was ok, but I just can't get over

Eve's motivation to unalive herself and how it felt that the boys just straight up replaced Eve with Penelope. For Penelope to go through so much to avenge her sister's death, and then for her to get in a relationship with the boys that her sister died over, it really doesn't add up for me.

I got exactly what I came for from this book. A dark, why-choose, smutty romance.
Was it way too long for very little reason? Yes. Was the story structure kinda a mess? Also yes. But it was overall entertaining, and at least some of the twists were done well. 
I also really liked Alistair, even though he was not the most developed character. He was the least frustrating of the bunch.
Be sure to check trigger warnings before reading.

Wow just wow. I knew this book was dark, but I didn’t expect it to be this dark. This book has a lot of triggering topics such as suicide, torture, murder, consensual non-consent, fire play, knife play, ect. Please read the author’s note before reading. 

That being said, I really enjoyed this book. It wasn’t your typical smut book that there was little to no plot or it got lost. The plot was there and a big part of this book, and the smut was a great bonus. Along with the smut being a bonus, the scenes were explicit and left little room for imagination. 

This book had some good plot twist, and some I definitely never saw of it coming. I can’t wait to start book two, and to see what happens next! I highly recommend this series, but again, please read the triggers.
