Corrupt is the first book in the Devil’s Night series. It’s about a young woman named Erika Fane and a young man named Michael Crist. Erika and Michael have felt a connection to each other that they’ve both tried to ignore their whole lives. It finally comes to a head on Devil’s Night, and changes all their lives forever. This was a strong start to an exciting and well loved series. Michael and Erika have a crazy amount of chemistry together. Also reading about his friendship with his fellow friends The Horsemen (Kai, Damon, and Will) was really enjoyable as well. The found family aspect of their friendship was really beautiful. Suspenseful, sexy and shocking this is definitely not a book for the faint of heart!

I forced myself to not DNF this book. I understand that this book is supposed to be a dark romance, but this takes it a little too far in my opinion. The four MMC characters are all terrible people.

They threatened to kill the FMC and the MMC was going to let it happen for an injustice that they had no proof she committed.

The MMC emotionally manipulates the FMC constantly and every problem they have either gets brushed away with a weak apology or sex. I am stopping the series here.

This was... a roller coaster. And not the great kind, but the kind that gets set up in a day and you're kind of worried about it's safety.

I'll give it one thing, the intensity and tension we're off the charts. But there was just SO much going on. At times it felt like a classic bully romance, but then it got murder-y, and then it seemed like it was trying to be a mafia romance sans mafia?

All in all, a good quick read, but DO NOT ignore the triggers, this sh*t is DARK.
