basically, it's a hit alongside all my other forgettable trashy rh books!!
ps. people said they had a lot of grammar and editing problems. honestly, i only noticed a couple of them, but i have heard that the author is fixing errors in the e-book as people point them out, so i may have just read the updated version. either way, didn't affect my reading, but i can understand the irritation!...more

The men were I can’t really remember this but like… it wasn’t half bad! I liked the fmc - she kicked some ass, she had confidence, she had character. The men were fine, I truly had no feelings about them. The storyline was kinda nothingness, but I really liked the healthy female friendships, and wanted so much more of them. Special snowflake syndrome and classic trashy rh for sure, but some little twists, and addictive enough to keep me going!...more

alright, this was really kinda awful. it’s like ghost bird x those kerry taylor books, but worse.
for one, it’s the same old story told time and againalright, this was really kinda awful. it’s like ghost bird x those kerry taylor books, but worse.
for one, it’s the same old story told time and again in the reverse-harem world - poor naive girl who has been locked in a basement for years on end, finally enters the real world and BOOM everyone and their mum is obsessed with her. why? we don’t know. oh and also she’s a genius with photographic memory who instantly understands all textbooks.
anyway, after being immediately bombarded by, oh *checks notes* SEVEN men, and despite facing torture and sexual abuse many, many times throughout her life, our main girl instantly feels “safe” and “protected” and has an “instant bond” with these random, 6ft tall (minimum), super buff, incredibly smart, shockingly good looking men, who will NOT leave her alone. EVER. there’s maybe one guy who’s a little tech nerd, and he’s still super good looking and can fight, of course. we’ve all heard this story before, yes?
and despite declaring that they’ll protect her forever, and are always on her side, all SEVEN of these men never notice the (very obvious) signs of a terrible home life, and also never succeed in actually protecting her. i’m almost certain she’ll get kidnapped at some stage in book 2 BECAUSE IVE READ THIS STORY BEFORE.
anyway. it was kinda bad. and there was a serial killer of course. and if all that isn’t bad enough, all the men think she’s 17 years old (and to be fair, in worldly experience she’s probably like 10) and yet they keep pursuing her and talking about how much they want her, despite a couple being her teachers/guidance counsellors.
every book in this series is rife with drama, terrifying plot twists, absolute devastation, and the most INSANELY well developed reverse-harebanger!!!
every book in this series is rife with drama, terrifying plot twists, absolute devastation, and the most INSANELY well developed reverse-harem relationship i've ever read. there are 10 men, folks. TEN. i don't usually have it in me to remember 5+ men, but jane washington really did the impossible with this series, because not only do i remember every man and their specific personality traits (most of the time...), i also ADORE all of them. and that is truly saying something, because i am a pro hater when it comes to romances. piss me off and i WILL hold a grudge. but i love these little munchkins and their precious, precious relationship!!
never ask me the plot to this series - i just read it for the vibes. it's something dark and twisted, with a crazy reality tv show thing, except there's also massive segregation, and people compete in the show to save their families, and everything is beyond scripted, and there's a deeper, darker underbelly of violence and torture and blackmail - and basically everything is DOOMED. but look... the vibes are immaculate. insane, INSANE slowburn (actually criminal), RIDICULOUSLY brilliant character development, a wild romance journey, and every book brings yet another devastating event!!! but also joy! yay!
this was such a brilliant ending. everything was wrapped up in a gorgeous little bow that filled me with joy and light, all my boos (and not boos) got what they deserved - i am ecstatic, honestly. devastated that the vibes of this series are over - but thankfully, there's 6 books for me to reread!! ...more

but other than that, this was addictive, highly amusing trash, and the characters were fun. plus some of the plot concepts were pretty interesting! now i await book 2......more

addictive, so easy to read, entertaining. i liked our fmc - she was less innocent than the usual tessa hale heroine, and i enjoyed her determination and strength. the mmcs varied, from the adorable cutie patootie precious hacker, to the eternally suspicious emotionally tortured shithead mate! a glorious range, to be sure. cliffhanger was brutal, but when isn't it!...more
