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.

These are just so addicting and crazy. I really like all the character relationship developments. The plot is hardly there, but I’m not really reading for plot. I do like all the guys, and Drake is growing on me.

Another cliff hanger ending!!!  This series is so dark, and the secrets so numerous, and the sex so hot…dang!!  I will be moving in to book four to see how Scarlett and her Horsemen deal with their newest predicament.

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.

Heat Level: Scorching

multiple graphic sex scenes with multiple kinks

While this book was pretty good, it didn't really have a plot. It mainly focused on character development with an emphasis on the character Francis, even though the other characters had development too. The main character, Scarlett, had some significant growth in this one too. The plot was minimal and it did end on a cliffhanger. Out of the books I've read so far in this series, I would say this one has the most sex scenes in it. I would even say too much as they started to feel like filler instead of important to the story.

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!
