Brooklyn has my heart 🕷 She is such a great, complex, funny character. Her inner dialogue throughout the book had me cracking up. As with most of the books by there’s authors, it’s a bit long but it’s worth it. Some points were slow but the ending is worth it. 

This is book 1 in dark, ménage romance duet. It’s set in the United States of Anarchy world by the authors. 

Lots of seggsy tension between Brooklyn and the two MMCs. Niall is an Irish mafia man and Mateo is a cartel member. Both are dangerous and dark but neither fear Brooklyn’s particular brand of wild. These serial unalivers will have your hearts by the end. 

3/5 🌶

I LOVE the zodiac academy series by Carolie Peckham and wanted to give this a go. Honestly for the first few chapters I wasnt sure if this was for me but I really grew to love this team of psychos. The character unveiling and development was great and the storyline itself was fun and intriguing. I cant wait to read the second in the series as this one finished on quite a cliff hanger.

This is a dark reverse harem. There is SA and alot of violence. It is not for the faint of heart. At first I was struggling to read this as there was alot of violence in the beginning however when it was focuses on Brooklyn, Niall and Mateo's story it was more enjoyable to read. I am new to reverse harem so I am not sure on the genre. Brooklyn is really funny and misunderstood.
