• My review is for all three books
• The series is wonderful yet Sakavic found a way to ruin it every time it began to shine. From the unneeded
  sex
  scenes-which frankly felt forced and were included for the sake of fanservice, entire lulls in between rushed arcs, to the edgy, dramatic, and repetitive situations all come off as above average quality Wattpad mafia fanfics. That being said Sakavic still had me wanting to find out what happened to the characters despite my aversion to sport themed content normally. Finally, the ending felt entirely too rushed and highlighted how Sakavic uses trauma as a romance plot rather than the seriousness it should have been dealt with.

2.5

This is brutal. Horribly, graphically, and violently brutal. I’m seriously struggling to understand why this series has such an intense cult following, but I’m also undoubtedly finishing the series though so it must have something going for it. If you can stomach all the senseless violence that doesn’t quite logically work with the story, the plot is pretty captivating.
