Safety info, content warnings and tropes down below.
I had a pretty good time reading this. It’s a bit dark and unhealthy so you have to kinda leave your morals at the door (generally not a problem for me), but that's half of the fun in this case. It was great fun to get back to a why choose book. I’m also looking forward to the second book in this duet, hopefully getting some more clear communication about the relationships.
Kit is very vulnerable for a while. It was written really well, but also makes the beginning of the relationships – especially with James – feel quite unbalanced early on. James really is a hoot tho, and even with the imbalance, you don’t get the feel he’s trying to take advantage of Kit.
Normally I wouldn't read books with sharing – ever – but the sharing leads to a poly relationship in this case, and there’s no jealousy or 'drama’, which made it feel different and didn't bother me much. I just wanted them to talk more about it and set some boundaries. Sadly, they’re all quite dysfunctional so the communication takes a while to develop, lol.
The external plot was entertaining, and I hope we get more of that in book 2 as well. If you enjoy why choose you should give this a try.
I also like all of the main characters, which is pretty rare with this many of them. Usually at least one feels like a cardboard cutout of a stereotype main character.

Cheating: No, because everyone is okay with the sharing, even if it’s sometimes not discussed before Kit kisses/goes on dates with the other guy. James (the first official boyfriend) loves sharing Kit.
Other person drama: No – there’s a sharing kink but everyone Kit is ‘shared’ with ends up in the polycule. It never feels like drama because everyone is on board, even though there is minimal communication about it beforehand.

Happy ending: Yes
He stared at himself. Pale skin, sharp bones. Green eyes that didn’t always feel like his. He was the same strange, worthless boy he’d always been, and here he was. Primping for a date with a murderer.
Pinned down and surrounded by James’s body and scent, Kit knew every part of this was a bad idea. James was arrogant. Scary. Rich, powerful, nine years Kit’s senior. James killed a man fifteen minutes ago, with the very hands pinning Kit to the leather. Once more, Kit had proof he was far more fucked up than he ever realized. Every bad idea only excited him more.
“That’s a good look on you.” James took Kit by the chin, tilting his face higher. “I like you on your knees, looking up at me. You’re so fucking pretty.”
“So, murderous new boyfriend, huh?” Kit’s face heated. “Don’t tell him I called him that.” Darius’s grin widened. “James wouldn’t dispute that he’s murderous.” “No, the boyfriend bit.” Kit covered his eyes. “I’ll never hear the end of it.”
What the actual fuck? Since when did holding hands feel this slutty?

I think this story started out great, but I did not like that ending at all. I'm upset because out of all the people to tell his story to, Kit tells the one person who actually planned to murder him and the one he just met. The one that definitely didn't deserve to hear it. I can't get over the fact that Haden strung Kit along (even if he did end up falling for Kit) with plans to murder him, and Kit was just like, "Yes, I love it." Disgusting. I didn't like Haden at all. I don't see how Kit wasn't triggered by all of that. This could have gone a completely different direction and been so much better. I was so hoping Kit would be honest with the others, but no, he continued to lie and hide stuff from them. Also, somebody always gets left out of the harem until the very end. I really don't understand why. I was hoping this one would be different, but it wasn't. I should have dnf this book when I started to realize I wouldn't like it.

I have fallen in love with all male reverse harem stories so when I saw this one was releasing I got incredibly excited. This was another amazing one and I’m so happy I was able to read it. I would recommend looking at the trigger warnings and if you’re sensitive to murder or kidnapping at all in your romances I would stay far away!
Kit was an absolutely fantastic main male for a RH. He was troubled and had a terrible past that was much worse than I was thinking when we finally found out what it was. I couldn’t imagine going through what he did. All of his men brought something different for him and it was amazing seeing his transformation from someone living his life numb to someone happy (even if the way he gets there is “abnormal”).
I loved three of Kit’s men from the very beginning. As soon as we met Bishop, James and Darius I was all for them and their relationship and extracurriculars! I liked that they were all different personalities and had different jobs. Holden was a lot harder for me to like. It took until like the second last chapter for me to come around to him! But the best of that is I have so much more time to learn to love him in the next books as this isn’t a standalone!!
I cannot wait for the next book. This one doesn’t end on a cliffhanger per se but does leave you wanting more! I highly recommend this story!

A dark romance MM why choose about serial killers? Say less.
New one for me! No idea why I haven’t strayed into MM WC before but the idea’s got legs so watch me add a bunch to my TBR 👀
This had good potential but I felt like the story lacked a bit of depth in pretty much all the main areas. The motivations of Holden specifically were flimsy at best. I’m assuming Kit’s background is left open ended for the upcoming books to delve into further but it was frustrating to not really get enough insight into it in this book. It feels like it’s influencing things but there are no clues as to why/how which was frustrating. The relationships between all the MC’s weren’t fleshed out enough before they got in deep either imo. I didn’t feel the connection tangibly enough.
Mmmmm meh. Of the four MCs Bishop is my favourite, and it was frustrating he didn’t get much relationship-time, but the others I could sort of take or leave. Holden I especially don’t vibe with. He’s a little too cuckoo for coco puffs 😅
Still a decidedly fun read tho! All that aside it’s written well and is fairly funny.

I think what pissed me off with the book was the teasing of Kit's past, then when the reveal takes place, it's almost like clearing up loose ends of the plot rather than adding on anything really new or mind blowing.
The book was hot. I like that the guys each have their own personalities but at the same time it is also a disadvantage as they seem to be the same person, just cut 4 different, escalating on unhingness, ways.
The Holden angle I do not get. And this more than anything will probably mean this is my first and last foray into this series. Because in the end he gets away with what he's done and it isn't a minor thing. And it seemingly contradicts what Bishop was doing/stands for, from the very beginning.
And while the subject matter is dark, the book isn't dark, dark. Like I wasn't terrified nor loathed any of the protagonists enough like you usually feel with really dark books (at least for me).
Then, I think I would have loved more a book where everybody is loving everybody rather than all dicks point for Kit and Kit only.
So, not bad, but not great either.

Ok look, I picked this up on a whim. The blurb said it was gonna be a harem romance and we all know I cannot resist that many m's.
Firstly, this is a new to me writer and I loved the writing style. It was great and each mc was different.
Secondly, I loved Kit, James, Bishop, and Darius. They made getting to the end of this extremely long story worth it. I didn't like Holden at all. Not even by the end.
Thirdly, this was an actual dark romance.
Fourthly, I liked that Bishop ending.
Now onto my only complaint for this one.
This was too long. I know this was a kindle vella story first and you can actually see that in the writing and weird editing of the chapters, but it needed to be cut down a lot.
I kind of lost steam for the story near the middle, but finished just because I needed to know how this one ended.

I enjoyed this quite a bit! I love a good mmm+ romance and it's been a minute since I read a book that kept me intrigued till the end. I think the only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I felt the pov of each character got confusing, especially in the beginning when I'm trying to learn the names. Overall though, I really liked it
May 31, 2026
My expectations going into this book were, less just say quite low. I was fully expecting to DNF it early on. Books with similar themes tend to be too edgy, try to hard and fail miserably. I also tend to side eye a lot of books with “psychopaths” in them due to appalling representation and frankly very boring tropes. Boy was I happy to be proven wrong.
This book was Fun capital F. And I couldn’t put it down. Some parts were a bit darker (check the great content notes) but it balanced it very well with humor. It doesn’t take itself serious, it’s not edgy and it works so well.
I really appreciated how distinct each character was. And the interactions between them. And how I was invested in all of them. My biggest surprise was how much I liked Kit. Kit is the twink that all the killers go crazy about. Normally this kind of character is so boring. With the only characteristics being in constant need of saving, being small and “so special”. Kit is indeed in need of saving, he is small and he is special. But he is also a lot more. He has an interesting background, he is a horny disaster in the best way and he isn’t one dimensional. And I for once could see why the other MCs fell for him or found him fascinating.
I also enjoyed the pacing. And while it doesn’t end in a cliff hanger, it leaves you very excited for the next book. Which I cannot wait to read when it’s out.
Very recommended. Fun murder bois, what’s not to like?

I have mixed feelings about this one. I want to start by saying I didn't like Holden at all. I feel like he gets a way with what he did, and I don't understand why Kit liked him this much. Also, the way kit's past was resolved was not satisfactory, hence the three star rating.
It's not a bad book, but I'm definitely not going to continue with the series.

This book was a 5 until it got closer to the end; I'm not a fan of the whole thing with Holden. I'd much rather have Bishop more in the picture than Holden, and actually I wish Holden wasn't in it at all. The rest of it was excellent and very hot. Well-written, intriguing, and with four very likeable main characters (again - NOT Holden). It reminded me of Avril Ashton, although my dislike of Holden did diminish that a bit. Will definitely read book 2 when it comes out though. I'm guessing Bishop will become more tangled up with the main group. I do hope Holden dies or something but I don't see that happening.

This was a fun little reverse harem read! (For the most part)
I felt like there was a decent amount of unique bits in here that kept me very entertained and invested. I loved Kit as our main character and most of his murderous boyfriends…
But I didn’t understand the whole Holden storyline…he gave me the ick from his first interaction and it just kept getting worse! I think I would have liked this a lot more if it was just Kit, James, Darius and Bishop as a “couple” and then Holden was the big baddie that they got rid of at the end.
I’m mildly interested in continuing this series, but time will tell. 🤷♀️

Kindle edition
Picked because it was a poly. Sat on the kindle for a bit before getting round to it. It was a bit insta, although Bishop meeting first is holding out to be last. James was the speedy all in, the way they just moved in together made my head spin. Darius was a bit slower, but pretty much right along there with James, leaving Holden to find space between them, but still get more action than Bishop. Covers some dark themes. Ultimately focused on Kit getting his boyfriends. The trackers were a nice idea, curious what Holden's will be. Its one of those ones that I'm curious what happens next, but one I wouldn't jump to read. Best bit was Kit breaking up with Holden because he thought he was normal.

Super sweet, a little spicy, full of murder (and murderers), what more could a girl want out of a book?
January 31, 2024
I didn’t expect to love this story as much as I did (and I expected to love it cause hello, psychos and killers and sexy men!), the author kept me intrigued and interested through the entire thing. Kit is a little broken bird at the beginning of this story, depressed and just existing until he finds himself in a crime scene. This is where we meet Bishop, our vigilante, and James, our survivor. Immediately I loved them both. Bishop and intense blue eyes and gray morality, sucked me in while James and his intense and playful banter made me smile. Then we meet Darius, our professional and he was cool, calm and collected while being caring and protective. And our final killer, Holden, the psycho, shows up last. Holden comes across as this youthful, sweet, ball of sunshine and normalcy to Kit but we know he is anything but. During all this, Bishop is trying to solve some murders with Kit’s help, and Darius and James are trying to protect Kit. And Holden is stalking Kit. It all centers around Kit and let me tell you, Kit is a mystery even with us inside his head. He has some deep, dark secrets in his past. This book handles some hard to swallow topics without going into details. This book was sexy, fun, intriguing, mysterious and delightfully twisted with all the murder. The writing is well done. I can’t wait to see what comes next for these guys, and hopefully get some answers to so many questions about our killers and boy. This book was an enjoyable read, that I devoured quickly. Now I will just impatiently wait for book 2.
March 13, 2024
I honestly have no clue what to think about this one. It kept me entertained enough to keep me reading fairly regularly without getting distracted, which, especially lately, is definitely saying something. But probably not enough to read the next one… Hence the 3 stars, I guess?

it was great up until the 90% mark. then it all went downhill

I like the relationship with the first three guys. But when the serial killer student showed up, the story started dragging I couldn’t finish the story at 71%.

This has to be the most quietly fucked up thing I’ve read in a longtime and I enjoyed every second of it! Literally foaming out the mouth for book 2 rn cause I just love all these men. James, slay. Darius, raw. Holden, I’m fascinated. Bishop, well debatable on his part but I’ll bite lol.
The author wasn’t wrong when she described this as a slow burn and a fast burn and the same time. I’m very impressed with the pacing and how it guided the dynamics of the plot. It was beautiful to watch unfold and the unpredictability of it had me at the edge of my sit.
Now with kit, I’m very obsessed with the layers of his character. I love the unbelievable and very unhinged devotion his men have for him. I love his quite strength and undeniable beauty. I would say we got more of some personalities than we did the remaining cause Darius and Bishop are still more of a mystery to me than James and Holden but you see that’s part of the reasons why I’m so damn excited for book 2.
I can’t wait to see what beautiful things the author does with this story and please omg make the spice more descriptive in book 2!! We need more of that good fucking from all ends!!

This was going to be 4 stars until the end, because WTH was that. I liked the start of this as an RH relationship with all men, though I feel like it did move quickly with the relationships. It also left it open for deeper relationships to develop between the guys. But seriously that ending was not it and didn’t make sense.
April 14, 2026
Honestly, I just think this book was a fine read. There wasn’t anything I disliked about the book and there wasn’t anything I absolutely loved.
I will more than likely give the sequel a read just to conclude the story

Eeeh, it was fine I guess 🤷♀️ My biggest issue with this book were that it was too many people in this poly-relationship. I wish Holden were killed at the end, I didn't like him that much at all. I preferred Kit with James, Darius and Bishop only.

I’m conflicted about this story. It was more graphic than I would like, that’s on me though, the author did a good job of adding trigger warnings and disclaimers at the beginning.
Story wise I do feel like there was just too much going on. Between the hit, the tragic backstory, the college killings, the multiple kidnapping, ect. - it still felt like nothing really happened. I get that this is supposed to be book one in an overall series but it reads like a completed story with a HPN plot line. I wonder how much of this is due to the story originating as a kindle vella.
Personally, I don’t see the draw of Bishop or Holden with Kit, James (mostly James tbh) and Darius held all the chemistry with Kit and honestly you could have cut the second plot out completely without issues and had it be MMM instead.
I likely won’t continue the story due to how graphic it was but who knows?

4.5 stars. This is my second time reading and I loved it just as much as the first. This checks a ton of boxes for me and is competently written. Feels like eating an entire pint of ice cream in one go. An irresistible indulgence, and so much fun. Yum.

Four different killers and the traumatised young man they’re obsessed with!
What an absolute whirlwind of a book—I loved every single second. The characters are deliciously unhinged, yet beneath the carnage, they are such loveable softies (though only for the right man). The pace is relentless, a heart-pounding rush of events that keeps you utterly enraptured by the plot.
This story explores the beauty of finding love in any form that calls to your soul; it just so happens that the men calling to Kit are lethal serial killers. They operate by their own dark codes and individual guidelines—except for one, who simply does it for the pure, chaotic fun of it!
I was completely captivated by these men. Their primal need to protect Kit and their absolute, unwavering devotion to him is as swoon-worthy as it is delicious. I fell hard and fast for all of them, but James has my whole heart. I adore how he wears his soul on his sleeve; his emotions are raw and visible, and his banter is nothing short of hilarious. Each man possesses his own brand of stalking, obsessive possessiveness, but they are united in one goal: owning and worshipping Kit.
The 'smexy' scenes are scorching, ranging from intense one-on-one encounters to a smouldering throuple with Kit, James, and Darius. Bishop is the holdout; he hasn't let himself go with Kit yet, but it’s a ticking time bomb before he finally succumbs to his hunger. He’s just grappling with the arrival of Holden—a man who represents a total violation of Bishop’s own vigilante moral code.
Kit himself is beautifully broken, a soul hollowed out by anxiety, panic attacks, and the deep bruises of a traumatic past with his father. He lives in the shadow of 'what if'—the terror of his father finding him again. But everything shifts when he stumbles into a visceral, bloody scene orchestrated by James and Bishop. Being kidnapped was the turning point of his life. Now, he is flanked by four dangerous men he is instinctively drawn to—men who would gladly paint the world red for him. For the first time in years, Kit feels truly seen. In their own twisted, 'crazy' ways, they offer him the stability and devotion he has been starving for.
The Hunters:
Darius – The Professional: A cold-blooded assassin who views death as a business transaction.
Bishop – The Vigilante: He realized the justice system is fundamentally flawed beyond repair. Now a private investigator, he abandoned the law to become judge, jury, and executioner.
James – The Survivor: A man fueled by vengeance, hunting the monster who slaughtered his family. He trades blood for information and lends his 'mad surveillance skills' to the others across the shadows of San Corvo.
Holden – The Psycho: A college student who has felt the itch to kill since he was five years old. He suppressed the darkness for years—until a stolen parking space snapped his restraint. Now, the hunt is on, and his dark obsession is set on consuming Kit entirely."
In short, this book is a dark, delicious masterpiece of 'unhinged meets heart.' It’s a wild, high-stakes ride that proves love can be found in the most lethal of places—even in the arms of four obsessive serial killers. Watching Kit transform from a broken, terrified survivor into a man who is truly seen and fiercely protected by his four devoted monsters was everything I didn't know I needed. If you want scorching heat, hilarious banter, and men who would literally burn the world down for their man, you need to read this immediately!

I fell like maybe I shouldn't enjoy this as much I as I had...
I mean, do you feel like sometimes, what you're reading just might be telling... something, not sure what but something not so... stellar about you just? That while you are not really ashamed or whatever BS you should feel but you are also super perfectly very much certain you are not going to mention you have read this book in "polite" company?
I am a gamer, okay, so I definitely shouldn't even entertain this nonsense so I know playing shooter games does not make one a killer no more than playing farming games make one a farmer but...
Well, let's just say this book is kind of messed up - I've read worse, which... forget I said, I mean, the guys are actually nice. There are some jerks masquerading as love interests but I didn't have that impression here, I think I just liked with the weird stuff, I really, really liked the dynamic, the messed decisions and plot twists... just, yes, more, I am your kind of reader.
Holden was the one... the best and the worst, I'd say. Most interesting? I hope this isn't a spoiler but I thought he was actually going to be the Bad Guy and I had to like backtrack to the blurb just so make sure I can be okay with Kit accepting his overtures.
The poly stuff was especially well-handled, I must say. Not only were they introduced separately, they felt very unique, not just, oh, this bossy, tall, hot guy is a doctor and that bossy, slightly less tall, slightly more narrow down there (but slightly longer, of course) guy with a different coloured hair is a lawyer. Their relationships felt unique and they definitely didn't progress in a predictable manner.
And of course Kit himself was a piece of work in the best way - you have to craft a certain personality for this kind of plot and Kit was definitely the right kind of vulnerable and demanding and moral and messed up and nice and accepting...
I didn't really get into Vella stuff but I might just need to change that. Very subjective, read everything and make sure you like this kind of stuff recommend.
