 Okay, this was so much fun. This was my first Santana Knox book and definitely won't be my last! I LOVED the setting, loved the religious/Satanic themes, and adored the twins, Felix and Corvin. Romina was fine as a main character — not a new favorite — and I wasn't a huge fan of Sonny due to his stunted emotional development lol, but Felix and Corvin definitely made up for it imo. More than anything, though, I was just enthralled by this whole near-future dystopian "religion has destroyed the world" vibe the plot revolved around.

This is definitely one of the more spicy books I've read, so if you're looking for a steamy dark romance with a very unique plot, I highly recommend picking this one up!

honestly sonny is the only reason this isn’t at least 4 stars. i truly hate him so much. he ruined damn near every scene he was in. LOVE felix and corvin though. 4/5 on the spice before the last few chapters. it gets unnecessarily over the top and unlike the rest of the book which knocks it down to 2.5/5

If you are a dark romance reader, give this a shot. If you are a contemporary romance reader, PLEASE CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS!!! 
There are a lot of possible triggers, especially regarding religion. 

That being said, this book was HOT HOT HOT. I enjoyed the reverse harem of tattooed bad boys. There were some plot points that didn't quite hit for me, but I definitely enjoyed the
revenge against the priest that locked Romina up in the tower

I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the story itself and how invested I was in seeing Romina come out on top.

The book was great, but there was a missed opportunity to explain how
Frollo was an apprentice to a Satanist

There’s a lot to say about this book.
First of all, It’s important to know that this book is a strong criticism of the bigotry of the American society. It’s The Handmaid’s tale meeting Buffy (not the Vampire part) and Robin Hood.

And there is the identity of all characters. So different but so similar in their pain, their rawness and also in their innocence. Even Sonny, Felix and Corvin (the twins).

The TW are to be taken seriously but they are not as disturbing as I thought (but I read really dark stuffs).

*reverse harem
*strangers to lovers
*college
*found family
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
