⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s been a while since I’ve read a dark romance, and this one has been sitting on my TBR for a little while, so I decided it was finally time.

I honestly couldn’t believe what I was reading in those first few chapters. Unhinged? Yep. I definitely found myself thinking, “What the f… is wrong with these people?” 😂 But was I hooked and intrigued? Absolutely.

It didn’t take me long to realise just how sadistic Damon is. He genuinely scared me at times, and I really didn’t like him but I have to appreciate that his character was written perfectly for the role he plays. Olly is also her own little version of unhinged, and honestly, you could say that about pretty much all of them.

I did get a little bored around the middle, unfortunately. It felt like the plot took a bit of a backseat and there was a lot more spice than story for a while, which made it drag slightly for me.

I also wasn’t really feeling the connection between Olivia and Sim at first. I just didn’t quite get it, but towards the end, something finally clicked and I started to understand it more and actually started to like Sim too.

River was probably my favourite character, which is saying something considering how completely unhinged this entire group is 😂

The cliffhanger at the end was GOOD though. I genuinely didn’t see it coming, and now I’m definitely intrigued to find out what happens next.

Dark, chaotic, unhinged and definitely not for everyone.

Well well well.. the FMC was chefs kiss she was by far from the sweet, shy girl was always read about this girl was a train wreck and I loved it! Kicking ass from the very second she layed her eyes on them wanting to destroy their ego and by damn she was doing an amazing job at it. Getting little bits of details about her past and her best friend how she became the villain she is now those little details made her that much more damning and it made me love her even more. she was definitely far much interesting than the 3 MMC!! Yes screaming i can not wait for the second book.
