This book is an absolute rollercoaster. I read it within 24 hours because it just got me totally hooked. This is a very dark and twisted romance with a lot of dark and twisted sexual content thrown in. Alongside that is a really interesting and mysterious narrative with P Douglas flitting between the present day and the past, keeping the reader engaged and wanting to find out more about what happened three years go. Despite how fucked up the characters are in this book, I actually really dig them? I love that I can get lost in this dark fantastical story which is full of the type of guys I’ve been taught from a young age to avoid, all from the the safe confines of my own reading space. I am very much looking forward to reading the rest of the series and exploring the rest of the four horsemen’s stories.
Drops points because some of that shit I read was disturbing and also because of the high number of spelling/grammatical errors! Penelope, get a new editor girl.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.

I just… it’s a very cis-white-rich-straigth-book. HUGE y/n main character with a harem, not a good harem though. The 🌶 is cool, al least we know that they where okey with what was going on. 
All the warnings that i mentioned where just there and no one actually talked about them, seriously. Wouldn’t  recommend unless you want what i just said. 
ALSO, for the love of god the amount of toxicity holy molly. I still don’t know how the book ended the way it did.

3.0

The book itself regarding the writing of the story and characters as well as those things itself was good. It just wasn’t for me and though I often enjoy dark romance I just couldn’t get comfortable how they sexualised her fear. I get that spark that comes with a little fear play but I feel like sometimes the female mc was just straight up frightened and I couldn’t get behind how someone would find joy in that or how she could be turned on herself. Also a big point for me is the miscommunication I mean if they would’ve just talked a lot of things would’ve turned out drastically different. In the end it definitely is a good book I simply couldn’t identify with the morals of the characters which made me not being able to enjoy the book and also not read any further books in the series.
