Loved it ❤❤❤❤❤
Jaye is a new to me author. I've had another of her series on my TBR list for some time now. Gonna have to start that soon. I loved this storyline. I really hoping the next release date gets moved way up the line. Definitely read this!

twisty
Great book full of twist turns, and a series of whiskey tango foxtrot. I hadn’t ever thought much about this book, but I was in a horrible slump, so I was like why not. I can safely say I wanna kick myself. The characters are so freaking amazing, it took me a while to warm to Jolie, but man, by the end of the book, I was squarely in her corner. Told in multiple pov, we really get to see how each character thinks and feels, and with a book that has this many turns and twists, you need that.

Seriously
That ending blew my mind and can’t wait to read book 2. I think this will become one of my favorite series. I highly recommend it to anyone that love RH and a strong FMC

Beta read, hooked me in from the start, I LOVED this start to what I'm sure is going to be a fabulous series. Jolie has had a rough go of it, but with just a few months left until her 18th birthday she gets moved to a new temporary home unlike any she'd been in before and she digs her heels in hoping to ride out her remaining months until she can turn her back on all of it and strike off on her own. Things aren't always what they seem and there is a reason behind every move anyone makes. Not gonna lie, Team Hades, Laughn sounds like EXACTLY who I'd have gone for when I was 18 lol. For those who love bad boys, these guys... Read it for yourself and you will know what I mean! And that ending! The next book can't get here fast enough lol.

This was my first read from this author and its definitely an intriguing and readworthy series to begin with!
As With alot of my reads, I went in pretty blind and I feel this is the best way with this one, so will try to not give much away here!
Our FMC is Jolie, who is18 in a couple of months and in the foster system. She believes she was in a car accident a few years ago and was rescued by her friend, Trace. She can't remember anything else from before it. After getting a simple note that she believes is from Trace come to rescue her at last, she leaves the current foster home to meet at the cafe point.
Only to be drugged.....
This is the start of a weird, almost down the rabbit hole for Jolie as she goes thru struggle after struggle and uncovers lie after lie, and discovering hidden truths everywhere. And still doesn't know if what she knows is everything she *should* know and if everything is the truth!!
Her case workers parents end up being her foster parents and she ends up living with her -now- ex-case worker, Brennan and his younger brother, Boston. And more often than not, Bostons odd friends Laughn, Davis, Case and Marlow are there too.
The story of who everyone is, including Jolie herself unfolds slowly and its done perfectly. There are times especially at the beginning when I was a little lost, but the writing was so good I couldn't put it down. Then it would all just click, so if you do struggle, stick with it, I promise you it's worth it!
The 5 boys each have a strong, unique personality that matches Jolie perfectly. At first they wanted to get rid of her and fast. Boston even set a bet that if she could sleep with all the GOD'S she could go where she wanted, if she couldn't he would be in charge....But once they're told who she is and her importance....things change quickly. I have to admit to having a stronger liking to Laughn! I found him mega scary at first, especially with the tongue! But as time goes on, not so much!
This is a reverse harem, and they all defintely have the heat and spark when they get together! Not as much romance as yet but you don't miss it with the awesome storyline- trust me!!
The end has an almighty cliffhanger!!! One of those in which I really need book two...NOW!!!!
Having said that....I dont think the ending is the end we think it is! (Cryptic but you'll see!!)
A good start to an interesting series!!
I received a copy of the ebook in return for an honest review

whoa.
The cliffhanger?! Come on! Where is book 2, I can’t handle it.
The plot is such a breath of fresh air, it is so good. The twists and turns make it so exciting to read. It kept me up all night because I couldn’t put it down. Please tell me she gets all 10 guys (10? Yes 10 but it’s doesn’t seem crazy at all after this story). I will be patiently waiting for book 2. Now let me go read everything else from Jaye. Amazing! 5 stars and so much spice. Everything you want in a book.

My heart!
I went into this book not really having any expectations. I love RH, I love dark romance, so this is right up my alley. Oh my god, it is amazing. I was glued to my kindle all afternoon, annoyed when I had to stop reading for even a minute! I love every single one of the guys, though I admit there were a few times I really wanted to punch Boston in the nose. He came around and grew on me
