The content warnings are almost as long as the review, the list keeps going. And yet…
Reading isn’t enough. I need to inject this into my bloodstream.
I cannot recommend this to any of my friends. I am desperate for someone to infect with it. I need someone to go insane with me.

- My review is for all three books
- The series is wonderful yet Sakavic found a way to ruin it every time it began to shine. From the unneeded scenes-which frankly felt forced and were included for the sake of fanservice, entire lulls in between rushed arcs, to the edgy, dramatic, and repetitive situations all come off as above average quality Wattpad mafia fanfics. That being said Sakavic still had me wanting to find out what happened to the characters despite my aversion to sport themed content normally. Finally, the ending felt entirely too rushed and highlighted how Sakavic uses trauma as a romance plot rather than the seriousness it should have been dealt with.
