I wasn’t honest with myself the first time I read this book. I’ve matured and can now happily say this is an all time favorite book of mine. Everything from my first review is still true including binging both books in one go.
What is slightly different this time is that I am upset that I don’t have actual physical copies of this duet because it is no longer available to the public. I don’t know why that is but both authors decided they no longer wanted to print this work of art. I am extremely salty about this development because it is such a great duet. It was new and invigorating and went places that other books haven’t. I do thankfully have e-book copies of both beautifies so while I cannot have the physical I will always horde the electronic version just like I’ve done with another out of print dark romance called Sick Fux.
I also sadly cannot recommend this to others now as well. I really wish I could. These characters are amazing and I loved the plot of these books.

Soooo I did an oopsie and couldn't control myself when it came not only to this book but the second book and binged both in the same night without reflecting on the first. Which makes it difficult for me to rate and write a review for both but I'm going to try my best!
To say I enjoyed this book is an understatement. I have come to realize many things about myself and apparently this book checked all the boxes of what I look for and want in a dark romance. Literally all of them! Should I be embarrassed? Maybe but I'm not. The book was a wild ride and had everything I was wanting especially after the last book I read fell so flat for me.
The characters, motivations, plot and smut were immaculate. Like wow I was not expecting to get some plot with the smut but it happened deliciously! Ivy had no chance against the twins and I was living for it. How both of these authors made such a compelling book that I would consider short is beyond me. Obviously it does have some flaws due to the shortness but it did the best it could. For one I think the tension would have been better built if this had at least another 50 or so pages and I think it could have shown more complexities because there were still a few plot holes but overall the buildup was wonderful.
The cliffhanger really came out of left field in the best way and is the main reason I had no self control and immediately went into the second book. I can't be held accountable for that if it left at such a frustrating time. I was desperate okay. I needed to know. Which is the best feeling to have from a book to be honest.
Each character was unique and I felt had a lot of depth for the book length and they all really fit well. The tension felt real and the motives or reasons given made sense after being explained. Who doesn't love an overly obsessive love interest or in this case interests?
Would I recommend? To the right person of course. This is a pretty dark book series. Triggers are abundant and should be looked up prior to reading. A few that I will mention are sexual assault, non-con, murder, and drugging.
