First book it reminds me of is Their Hallowed Queen by Carly Claire. This is a “Bully Romance” and that’s not my cup of tea. I got to Chapter 3 and already started thinking, “WTF am I even reading?”. I don’t like the ages of the main character’s, a book with this much spice shouldn’t include teenagers that are barely legal and definitely shouldn’t reference times when they weren’t legal at all. It’s gross. This book talks a lot about r@p3 and SA and also made some despicable comments about it. All of that alone granted this book a 1 star.  Chapter 25 and after, was really good though. That part of the book added on a good 2 stars. I was on the edge of my seat! The story really straightens out and starts to make sense. Would I recommend this book? No. I never want to read it again. This could be the perfect read for someone else, just not me.
