I would’ve liked this book more if Scarlet wasn’t the most insufferable person on Earth. She says she “never liked having female friends because they’re too bratty and bitchy” (girl, are you describing yourself?). She’s a pick-me and “so petite and small but I can eat so much!” and generally one of the worst FMC I’ve suffered through. The book itself is fine, it’s written like a Wattpad story, which is fine if you want something easy and fun but don’t expect literary genius. There are so many plot holes that I rolled my eyes at (they instantly trust the daughter of their rival gang because she sleeps with them? they make her the head of their IT department without asking for her resume or doing anything besides sleeping with her????), but overall the book was a nice little break for my brain. There is almost no romance or actual emotional connection, it’s 100% just smut and them being obsessed with her. 0 emotional depth from anyone involved. I might have rated it higher if Scarlet wasn’t on my nerves the entire time.

There is a sexual assault mentioned but it is stopped before anything happens, it can definitely be triggering because of the situation but the sexual assault does not happen.psyched_np's review against another edition

I truly think the books in this series build. I loved the first book and I loved this one even more. I read it in just about a day it was amazing. It is dark and trying and a little sick but so addicting. okay so what happened - the Triad made it to rescue Scarlet. Elliot started out thinking she was the mole but came around and is very kinky. There was a three way between Tristan, Sebastian, and Scarlet. New safe house as a present Tristan and (more so) Sebastian brought Scarlets bff Kenna there. Scarlet’s cousin is back from Romania and being groomed to run the family business. They schedule a meeting. Turns out Elliot was right he was kinda a double agent on that. Boom not cousins - siblings. Massacre in the front yard. Finn who likes Kenna takes a bullet for her. The brother tried to take Scarlet with the Dad and Sebastian gets shot twice and kills their dad - dead. Cliff hanger: will Sebastian and/or Finn live. AND the brother wanted to be on Scarlets side but he couldn’t yet because of their dad. He was planning to let Scarlet kill him but Sebastian did it now. And now the brother can’t stop a war from breaking out between the family and the Triad since they killed the family’s leader. <spoiler/> I am immediately getting the next book so I can read it. I truly cannot get enough of these books.
