What i loved : i loved the writing, and it is probably because of my cycle, but my mood swings way too much, so i liked this book, but maybe I will come back and give it the love it deserves. This book was perfect, it is dark, it is taboo, it is well written, and fast paced just the way some readers like it.

Favourite parts/ highlights : i loved that FMC did not bent for the rules set by the society and did what she wanted.

Recs from the same author : check out the Sinclair series by the same author. Starting with dane Sinclair and the stories of his sons. It’s dark, depraved and delicious, but beautiful.

Similar books : if you love secret society romances, than check out Lola king’s silver falls University series, and shantel tessier’s lords series.

Last details : thankyou for choosing me to ARC read, I enjoyed the book. And will come back to update the review, because I know I will have change of mind.
