I honestly finished this book and really didn’t have anything negative to say about it. As far as dark bully romances go, this one is by far in my top favorites. The mmc’s are all stupidly hot and ridiculously cruel. The fmc is badass, witty, and not an infuriating idiot (as many fmc’s are imo). The spice level is really good - we get some explicit scenes pretty early on and the sexual tension throughout is excellent, both of which I only see getting better as the series goes on.
As the first book in the series the overall pace of the story was great and so far the pace of relationship development is perfect - sometimes I feel like bully roms can resolve the conflicts between mc’s too quickly to where it’s just unsatisfying or unrealistic, but that is definitely not the case here.
Overall just a super satisfying read for the genre. Highlyyyy recommend for my dark bully rom lovers - especially if you’re a fan of Rina Kent (Royal Elite series specifically).
P.S. I did read the Zodiac Academy series by the same authors and didn’t like it very much, so if you’re the same as me don’t let it deter you from checking this series out!
