Mind you, i started this off wrong. Just picked a random book on my self without realizing i was starting dead in the middle of a conflict with no understanding of what was happening. However somehow in these short pages i was caught up to speed pretty quickly and don’t feel like i was thrown to the wolves. I think i will try to get the rest so i can start from the beginning. I need to understand what this thing with Kent is and understand why what happened was happening. Plus what was up with the whole training thing. Yeah i missed a lot. But with the few context clues laying around i made it through this pretty easy with only the thought that i have to start over. Now i want to read them all. ...more

It was spicy from beginning to end, pure smut. There really wasn’t much of a storyline but the little it had was intense. I can’t even judge it for not having a super in depth plot because the characters were so well written for each other. You get sucked into the little game they play and that’s where you stay. A voyeur wishing you could just stick a toe in. It was hot. I’ve never really been into the whole daddy thing (which was nicely done here) and hell I even quickly overlooked the relation of the two. They were just fucking HOT together. Kudos. ...more

Even though we have a great deal of information on Alessandro and we already know the type of person he is, we get more. Which is crazy cause he is definitely a mind rambler. His inner monologue goes on and on but it’s not overwhelming. I think this is my favorite so far and I pray that the reunion with his lord doesn’t disappoint. ...more

The story just started to drag on with nothing of importance really happening. I was bored. So I took a break and binged a season of anime to reset and boom still couldn’t get back into it. Sebian was weird to me. Never seen a person get over life long hate that fast. Like with a few minutes of meeting. Crazy. I didn’t like Galantia. Cause why! She didn’t fit. One minute pushing back and another melting in submission. Ugh she also was RAISED to hate them even though I get why she started to think otherwise, she was just naive. Now Malyr was my favorite tortured soul. I did want to see how he unfolded because of course he would. ...more

I started it because a review had mentioned Stockholm but nope that didn’t happen. She hated him til the end. Torin was also very unpredictable which made it a little interesting but no. I actually expected more than smut because I thought there would be an actual story. I was tricked. ...more
Holy hell wtf was this??? I was battling between a 3 and 4 star rating. The story line itself was great. It took me on the wildest mind fuck I’ve beenHoly hell wtf was this??? I was battling between a 3 and 4 star rating. The story line itself was great. It took me on the wildest mind fuck I’ve been on in a long while. Sort of like a Lily White novel, and if you know then yeah. HOWEVER, this is definitely smut. Sometimes less is appreciated. The plot was so thick that the amount of sex was quite unnecessary and took away from the seriousness of what was happening. For that I struggled to give a rating. It’s crazy that somehow this book treads that very fine line of what’s acceptable and the Mc’s never became unlikable. I fucking loved Sin in all his mental anguish. This dude was definitely a bleeding heart that was raised as a devil. Unapologetically him. Now Elli did get on my nerves sometimes. I have a hard time dealing with people who are forever a victim, mentally and physically with no will to fight back. She never grew a spine until that one instance and then poof spine disappears again. I swear Sin deserved so much more than her. ...more

I’m all for a tormented hero who believes he is anything but a hero. Eva was very well written, a little slow at times but definitely realistic in her actions. Which is hard to come by sometimes in these insta love type of books. And yes I completely disagree with the enemies to lovers thing because no way. They are both just assholes who learn to love the quirky assholeness. It doesn’t magically go away, such a nice change. The drama is there, a little darkness with a pinch of danger, the sexual tension is steeaaming. Count me in. ...more

It was 100% a rant. The book has triggers but isn’t as dark as most think. It’s all purely physical anguish. Not bone deep psychological trauma. Cause I have definitely drowned in a few that will have you crying by the end. I was a good dark dive though and definitely stood up to the expectation I had. Most either loved it or hated it. I see why. ...more

The ending was just wow. Even though it was rushed. I definitely thought someone else was the killer the whole time. There are soooo many suspect people in the little town that a sentence can condemn just about anyone. Simple amazing. However, if i had to read one more chapter of the cat and mouse game i would have just quit. It was on the line of being too much and starting to interfere with the mystery. Which i guess was intentional to build suspense but damn, give me a break. There’s only so close i can stand to the edge trying to reach the clouds before i decide to make a jump for one. ...more

That moment where things slow down right before the big finale, which by the way wasn’t all that big. The story continues and they must still bring down their fathers. With the length of the book i just knew that would be resolved and not drug out through the series.
OAN: This is a mind fuck, not for the reader but for poor Luca. Having Tanner’s point of view really saved us from having to drown in the story, which lose it a star. It’s hard to ride the emotional roller coaster when you know where the curves are and how big. This story is definitely different from any other Lily White book i have ever read. Just a small undertone of darkness. Maybe i was confused by this being about Antiheroes?!?! None of the guys are what I expected. Great read just not what i was looking for when i picked it up. Anyone who has read a Lily White book is looking for a dive into soulless depravity and the biggest mind fuck of emotional decimation. This was not it. ...more

I origiI swear after taking a long hiatus from reading, this was a true dark journey to choose as my first. I love the imagery Ker weaves with words. I originally thought i would be lost because I couldn’t remember a thing about the first book but Ker supplied enough clues along the way to keep me going. The crazy is amplified big time around Ryan. I didn’t know what was true or what was truly even happening. An amazing read. The ending will leave you speechless. ...more

Which by the way would have made this a 5 star read!! He was such a dark, damaged soul. As for Samantha, she actually made me laugh at times. Especially the part about her Stockholm syndroming herself. Definitely not her brightest moment. Although she was the cliche kidnapped victim, she surprised me with her will of defiance. ...more

From the way Harley is mentioned in Bastards and Whiskey, I expected so much more darkness from him. But boy was I wrong about his twisted mind.
I won’t spoil it so all i can say is i was quite surprised in the end of it all. Everything about this story was COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED!!!!
On another note, i gave it 3 stars because of the ending itself. This was definitely a forced hea. A story like this, that pushed so many boundaries, cannot have a forced ending. Add a few more chapters to ease me into an hea. Don’t just throw it in directly after the game is over!!! ...more
