At a loss for what to rate this because on one hand it was not good and quite toxic and ridiculous….. but on the other hand it was highly entertaining  🙈

this one was such a wild ride - in the best way possible! the characters are so well-crafted and twisted and i'm excited how their story (haha iykyk) will continue.

“You have no idea what you’re getting yourself into.” 

I needed a little dark romance pick me up. So here I am. 
I still love this series. So dark and twisted but very addictive. 
I know for a fact this is not going to be everyone’s cup of tea but it for sure is mine.

I love the boys in this, they are all so different from one another and different when it comes to Story that I am just obsessed with all of them in their own way,
I do wish that at times Story was a bit of a stronger character, she did have her moments but also there were times where I feel she could have been a bit better.

I do enjoy the Ted plot, like what is going to happen who is it and all the good stuff. But that was the only type of plot that was happening through the story other wise it was mainly character relationships.

But all together I did enjoy this and will be reading the rest of this series! 
Check TWs and CWs, 18+

Happy reading🤍

graphic depictions of sexual assault by the male MCs, very complicated relationship with how the FMC views the incidents but they are definitely not consensual.
