Another cliffhanger!!! Okay, beyond that, if you were in this series for the backstory as much as I am, well most of it got revealed in this book. I liked the twists and turns of it a lot. This one somehow got spicier, too, well let’s be honest it was more consensual shit this time. I’m really liking the characters, plot, and spice, excited to see where the final book brings us. 

Dark Romance, Reverse Harem, All the Kinks, 5 🔥

Ugh Francis has officially made it to the fictional boyfriend list. There’s something about a sensitive guy with some dark demons that just does it for a girl. Honestly, Scar taking control of their little family was expected but healing. I’m glad that each book brings closure to a different horseman, and gets a little closer to healing Scarlett.

This review will probably be relevant for the other three books in the series too.  I like the four horsemen idea, and each of them ~kind~ of reflect their allocated horseman, but there were some elements which felt a little forced.  I liked it enough to finish the series, but don't think I'd ever re-read, y'feel? I think this series was my first RH, so I totally see the appeal but I don't think this was the right series for me tbh. 

Very toxic, and quite dark - beware of the TWs!
