Beautiful Fiend by Lola King
4.0
"i'm obsessed with a girl i barely know and should hate. i killed three guys because they touched her. i'm turning against my own crew for her and don't even know her fucking middle name. trust me when i say i don't understand myself."
please read trigger warnings before going into this because it is extreme.
when i tell you i want smut with a plot this what i'm referring to, enough spicy scenes that i'm not dying for it in between but enough to feel a connection with the couples. this cover really describes how broken everything is in their world. beautiful fiend follows two rival gang members that reside in some pretty bad areas and are friends with some pretty bad people and follows them and their deprived emotions as they encounter a relation with each other and hope not to burn the world down with them. i was a big fan of the book and would've rated it higher but the last three chapters just felt like unnecessary conflict and could've been handled WAY better in my opinion.
4 stars
tropes: bdsm, boy-obsessed, dark romance, forbidden, forced-proximity, jealousy, mafia, rivals, and smut.
