I have total mixed feelings on this one. It is by far my least favorite book in the series. But I love this world so much and the authors write so well that I still think it deserves 4 stars. Let me explain.
The not so good.
*I just didn't feel that the Princes had any chemistry with Verity at all. They all said they weren't attracted to her and only wanted to "make their deposits" (gross) to get out from under their fathers thumb. They spent the entire book raping her and punishing her, making their deposits without giving her any orgasms, and degrading her. There should be something redeemable, even in a book 1, and I haven't seen it. Maybe I'll be eating my words by book 3.
*I didn't understand the plan either. Lavinia and Story send Verity into enemy territory to get "Intel" for what purpose? To make life better for women by changing the Princes? It didn't seem to make sense and only put her in danger and set her up for torture.
*I'm not sure anyone is actually going to school.
The good.
*I like the issues that Lex was experiencing. Those are extremely common with males and not talked about. We need to destigmatize erectile dysfunction so men won't be ashamed.
*I liked the gyno table sex. Call me a perv but if you know me, I don't really care. I think it's hot.
*The Dukes. I love me some Remy. Remy, Sy, and Nick visits are appreciated.
*I do kinda like Lex
*The missing girls story is intriguing
I can't wait to read the next two books and see what happens with Verity and her Princes. This one ended on a cliffhanger!!
