Giving this 5 stars because I know it’s going to stay with me for a long, long time. It was well written and the story was riveting. More than that, I really kind of admire that the authors were willing to go to some incredibly dark places that I know most would never touch. Plus, it’s the first time I’ve read non-con where it was actually convincing and logical that the FMC fell for the MMCs. I might change the rating after a reread but for now this was peak dark romance to me.

This was a good squeal! You get to see how strong Story is and how she starts to fight back. The relationship with the boys was really starting to get to a point where you can tell they are starting to care, but then something happens and we are back to square one. The ending of this is kind of crazy. I started the third book right after I finished this and so I’m getting plot points confused.

compulsively readable and highly entertaining. the drama in this one was 🤌🏻  and I loved seeing Story scheme! It was a wild ride. the ending dragged a little but it was still satisfying and I have so many questions!!! 
Is this a great work of fiction?  no. Am I gobbling it up? absolutely. the feminism and all the red flags are put to the side for this series.

There was a part in the middle where I was feeling less intrigued because we were going in the opposite direction of a happy ending, but I LOVE the way it circled back and ended! Can’t wait to start Lords of Mercy tomorrow!

Kept reading cause it seems like Story was finally going to arrange the deaths of the Lords and Ted. But then she went back to them at the end so I won’t be reading anymore
