I initially read this yearly in the year but put aside because I was worried it was going to be the same dynamic as ZA (I’ve read up to b5 & needed a break as it’s traumatic 😂) 
But I’m glad I picked it back up. 
The FMC has a lot more agency & the bully aspect isn’t as bad. I have already ended up loving all the guys in there own way (I’m also a lot more open to a why choose romance after the bonds that tie series - my gateway drug 🙈) 
I love that it’s a murder mystery plot line & after finishing book one I feel like I may even like this series more than ZA. 
I’m looking forward to continuing it & seeing her relationships develop with all 4 kings - & find or who she ends up with! I will definitely finish this series before I got back to finish off ZA. 
Spice was great (x2🌶 but expect it to get more) as usual with the twisted sisters - & i found I wasn’t as irritated with some of the language in this than I was in ZA - not sure if that’s just because I’m very accustomed to the writing style now or if they ramped up the cringy language in ZA? Either way I’m excited to continue this series
