 In all honesty, it wasn't great. In the beginning chapters, there were multiple days where I sat down to read and ending up falling asleep after just a couple of pages and if I'm being super honest, if it wasn't down to my reading goal that I'm already behind on and my stubbornness to finish books, I probably would've DNFed very early on.

The misogyny is very rife with this one. Pretty much all of the men in the book hate women, not even just covertly either. They fully, with their whole chest, despise women. Women are a sub-gender throughout the whole book and the FMC is the only time a woman has been close to power but she's still 'weak' and 'puny' and below all of the muscly men. Women are referred to as possessions or the s slur throughout the majority of the book, even by the love interests. Of course, in addition to this, the 3 MMC's penis sizes are referred to more than plot lines throughout and they're pierced, with knots and just very dramatic and unnecessarily over the top.

I won't be reading the rest of the series, it feels like the author is trying to target what they think every late teenage girl's fantasies are and is missing the mark terribly. I am intrigued by the plot line and what the 'big secret' is that is going on in the Fae's queens realm but honestly I'm not intrigued enough to read and find out.

This was so fun! I absolutely loved Sadie( I think that’s her name. I’m so bad at remembering names). She actually made me laugh so many times. The world is interesting as well. I didn’t read the summary so I didn’t know the alphas shift into different creatures which is fun. I really like the slow burn happening with the characters as well.

Re-read! Still a very fun book for me. Weirdly I thought there were scenes that didn’t happen in this book, not sure if I imagined them or if the physical edition is different. ( I previously read it on KU) I only wish we had seen more of Aran and Zed, that would have bumped it to 5 stars for me.

Just bad. Fmc was a pick me girl. And all the female characters were mean sluts apart from the fmc. I will be continuing the book though

Okay so this review is for the series in general. Is it a perfectly written series that everyone will love? No. This series is definitely not for everyone, but I absolutely loved it. The characters are unhinged on a whole new level. It's refreshing to see the FMC be flawed and honestly remain flawed in certain aspects. The characters are varied but all unhinged in their own ways. I couldn't put this series down, especially when I got to the back half of the series with Arans story. There are definitely some continuity errors, and at times it seems repetitive with the retelling of the same plot points through different POV's, but overall, I loved this series. 
If you are not into reverse harem, if you don't like MLM, then this series is not for you. There are strong themes of mental illness, trauma, substance abuse, and PTSD. 
I loved the characters, I loved the dynamics between the characters, I loved the premise of the series, I think it was interesting and something that I haven't seen before.
