So this book is majorly hyped and I've seen dozens upon dozens of recommendations for it. I'm a huge fan of reverse harems so I finally jumped on the train and read it, and I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda disappointed.
The story was very meh for me. Like it's ok, it kept me decently entertained, but nothing about it really captivated me or got my thinking ooooooo. Our female main character is alright, I find her very one dimensional so far. Bratty rich girl, has past trauma, gets blamed for something and suffers the consequences, and now she is back for revenge. The guys are all smoke shows, and super close, bad boys but with an obvious past that connects them.
The story is an enemies to lovers, but with reverse harems there is always the guy that our female main character connects with first, and then the one she fights tooth and nail with and holds out on the longest. It's a slow burn, minimal spice, mostly just a ton of sexual tension.
I dunno, nothing about this story just really stood out to me. I'm gonna try the next book, see if it gets better, also I have to know how stories end, even if I'm not overly into them. So hopefully the series gets better!

I’ve never seen anyone say this but I saw so many similarities to corrupt by Penelope Douglas. So if you liked those vibes… this is similar but it’s why choose!
Def more of a slow burn since it’s the first book! Lots of tension & banter!
The spice that was in it.. was perfect. I’m def looking forward to moving on to the second book!
So far- Steele is my fav!
The audio is so good!

I'm hooked
While MK bothered me often with her stubborn naivity, it was still a captivating story that I can't wait to read the rest of!

So let me start by saying The Guild Series is one of if not my favorite series of all time. I had super high hopes for this book. I definitely still enjoyed it and will be continuing with the series, and maybe had I not read the Guild series before I would have appreciated this more.
Things that irritated me: MK was a major pick-me. A bookish pet peeve of mine is the over usage of nick-names and the amount of times I heard "Hellcat" and "Princess Danvers" got real old real fast. Like, MK is fine.
It definitely got better as the book went on, and the last few chapters were amazing. I'm hoping the next books in the series are better! I'm also looking forward to starting the Hades series after this.

Arf que penser...
Qu'il y a un certains nombres de choses qui ne vont pas ! Le comportement de l'héroïne, des garçons qui "vivent" avec elle.
Le côté famille dysfonctionnelle ok; mais un peu trop exagérée à mon goût.
L'autrice a voulu mettre un peu de lore à sa romance, et c'est une bonne idée, d'autant plus qu'on devine que ce n'est pas juste une histoire de se**, mais je trouve ça déséquilibré.
Certains moments ont un peu été lus en diagonale, soyons honnête...
