I had seen this book around before it blew up on Booktok, but I was never really interesred in reading it. Then seeing everyone rave about it, I was more curious, but it still did not seem like something I would enjoy. Boy, was I wrong? I could literally not put this down, and I already want to read the second.

Ends in a cliffhanger!

A lil rough at the beginning but quick & addictive by the end

Damn. I’m a little disappointed we didn’t get any RH action, but good things come to those who wait. Unlike Penelope Douglas’s Devils Night series, Tate James gives us the perfect mix of dark romance and spice.

• i really enjoyed this one, MK was feisty as hell (yes occasionally petty but I'll allow it all things considered)
• i adore kody and steele so much, i don't know how she controlled herself the entire time i'd say screw the anger if it was me
• i still need to warm up to archer, he's still a bit too alpha for me and not in a good way, he needs to tone down the 'go to your room' stuff cos it's giving me too much dad and not enough daddy
• i feel like a bit more could have happened but at the same time, i enjoyed the set up of them getting to know each other
• idk it's just the vibes innit?
• i also didn't like that they called her by her full name, madison kate is such a mouthful, feels like she's just being scolded by her parents the whole time
• i'm so intrigued by the gang war
• mostly just hot as hell isn't it

TWs: panic attacks, dubcon, ref to infidelity/affair, pregnancy, violence, blood, gore, stabbing, alcohol consumption, drug use, smoking, car accident, death of parent (before book)

I absolutely loved this!!!
Great start into the series; I am one hundred percent intrigued to read more after that cliffhanger ending!
Though this book reminds you of your typical dark college reverse harem romance, for me, it’s so much more than that. The story is dark but in a unique way. The atmosphere of some scenes reminded me of “Corrupt” by Penelope Douglas and though I have to admit that I really did not like “Corrupt”, I love the way the atmosphere was used in “Hate“.

I already read the Kit Davenport series by Tate James and anticipated reading more by this author. The Madison Kate series seems to be exactly what I’m looking for right now and I’ll immediately read the next book!
