Silvercrest U #5
Secrets & Lies
Anthony
Three years ago, I hooked up with one of my frat brothers during a house challenge, and between the darkness and the masks we were wearing, I had no idea it was West until after it was over. And what was supposed to be nothing more than a chance to have a little fun and indulge in some of my darker desires ends up being so much more.
I don’t understand the pull between us, but West feels like mine, and even though he does his best to hide it, I know he wants me too.
After accidentally catching his fiancée cheating on him, I send West an anonymous text asking if he wants to know the truth. That text sparks a conversation, then another, and before I know it, West is telling me his deepest, darkest secrets, even though he has no idea who I am.
Then he issues me a challenge I can’t resist, and my prize is I get to do whatever I want to him. I already know West is into the same things I am, but I had no idea just how compatible we really are. Or how much we both like it when I wear a mask.
At the same time all of this is going on, West and I are paired up to work on a project together, and it’s then I realize that what I feel for him goes beyond anything I ever thought possible. I don’t just want him, I need him. And now that I’ve claimed him, I’m never letting him go.
West is mine until I decide he isn’t, and I dare anyone to try and come between us because I promise it won’t end well for them.

3.5*** stars
first of all, this did absolutely not need to be over 400 pages long. believe me. second of all, babe is not a suitable endearment between passionate new lovers. it’s actually not sexy at all.
i don’t know why i came back here. the plot was uninspired, everything that would’ve given this at least some depth or intrigue was as always very vague on the details or just flat out lazy writing. but thank god we got some random animal facts.
yes, you probably guessed it, i skimmed a lot. (400+ pages, i mean, seriously?) but here is what i did like: the hidden identity part, the messaging, anthony taking care of west, the kinky mask sex and the tenderness.
overall, not really worth my time but i’m very likely guilty of ending up here once again, when the next one drops. *shrug

3.75 ⭐ Ant & West
I really wanted to love this more!! The chemistry between them was great, the anonymous texting was fun, and I really did feel their connection.
However, everything happening outside of them was quite confusing. I assume it’s setting up plot for future books, but it didn't make much sense to me and made parts of the story feel a bit slow.
I still love this series—books 1 & 2 are favourites of mine! But I do hope the author changes it up more. Keen to see what the next instalment brings 😊

Oh wow, we're improving we added an extra star compared to the last book...Yay🙁
I was so desperate, I wished desperately to like this book but alas here we fucking are. This shit almost put me in a reading slump😭😭
I don't have as much complaints I did with...what's the name again? THE Xave and Damon book.
Here goes.
Firstly, i think we need to let these kids graduate, Im so done with the school and how more houses keep getting added. Like bruther.
Secondly, can we stop with the twins? I thought we was done with Jax and Jace or wtv his name is and now we have new twins? and ofc guess how they're described? CRAZYYYYY. OH WOW NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE, twins who are crazy and have strong abilities in Silvercrest? OMG, isn't that a new one.
Thirdly, oh the insta lust & the insta love. WE WERE GETTING DOWN IN THE PROLOGUE! can i at least be introduced to chapter one before im introduced to your naked ass?
Also something that made me wanna yeet myself off a cliff was the mention of "aura" EWWWWWWWW. And it wasn't just the mention of aura it's the "whoever did that has some major aura" DOUBLE EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
This is me being picky but they were wearing a whole lotta hoodies, "he pulls me by the string of my hoodie", "he wears my hoodie", "he pulls off his hoodie"
Also the kinks are so similar, it's starting to confuse the fuck outta me. Also this book was sooo fucking boringggg, but at least West and Anthony were having conversations and not just getting their freak on, even though those conversations were basically west rambling about his life and how he's having problems and Anthony comforting him, rinse & repeat.
ALSO THE "WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN" SHIT AGAIN LIKE GIVE ME A BREAKKK. The stories are so confusing i'm starting to confuse who from who. It was good for the first 3 books, they were new and it was exciting but then we kept dragging it out and im sooo doneeee.
well the one good thing about this is that Anthony wasn't considered a "pyscho" YAYYY we have a different character blow the trumpets, sound the alarm!!
(also i might have lied cuz i am going to be reading the next book...cuz wdym it involves a nerd....heeheee count me in...hopefully we'll be adding an extra one or two stars from that one)
Bye :)

Did i absolutely hate the last book? Yes yes. Am i still gonna be sat for this one because the synopsis eats? YESSS!!! I lied saying i wouldn't be reading anymore of her books cuz im so excited for this!!😭

2.5 stars.
Lacked the usual vibe of impending danger and villainry I've come to expect in this series.
This felt like more of a bridge book that helped connect the two frats into a working partnership against (possibly) the kings.
Sloppy writing (one night Damon was supposed to come over the next morning and walk to school with West. Not only does he not show up for this, but West skips school the next day and his friend nor the author never mentions the loose end ever again.)
Another example is their group project? What was it about? We’ll never know. The author was too tired or bored to give it any real answer .
A filler book without much substance. May be the product of an author determined to drag out a series way past when they should’ve ended it. Guess we’ll see next book release…

3.5-3.75⭐ but rounded up for the sake of Goodreads.
Considering I rated the previous 3 in the series 3, 2, and 1 stars and yet... still read this one. What does that say about me? I'm glad I did, though. I really like Ant and West. I love a good golden retriever x black cat situation and I love that this one wasn't just sex, sex, and sex. I mean obv it's there but I feel like Ant and West were fleshed out characters and took the time to get to know one another not just their dicks.

4.5⭐️
Going into this I wasn’t sure how the dynamic of these two would play out. I knew that one had caught the other's fiancé cheating and there's some anonymous texting but I absolutely loved the direction this took. Anthony, who seemed to be a bit intimidating in the previous book, is actually a dirty talking, caretaker who I just loved! There’s some d/s, mild noncon with a mask (so hot!) and a new friend group too which means more silvercrest adventures! I want to thank Willow for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I really, REALLY, wanted to love this more. It has all the elements I love in this series plus anonymous texting/hooking up. But my main problem was timing and ott obliviousness.
Timing because things dragged out and lost steam and obliviousness because realization came literally in the last pages. Plus, the forgetfulness of important things and not fully talking things over while allowing serious discussions to wander off the path. Things like that ruined it for me. Still, this is one of my favorite series so no real harm done since we see all our beloved characters.

I was excited to dive into this 5th installment as I love this series. West has a fiance but he's going to fall for Anthony? Sign me the fuck up!
And overall, it was quite enjoyable. West and Anthony were my favorite part of this and they were so good together - their chemistry was off the charts good and I couldn't get enough of them. I absolutely adored the focus mainly being on them for most of this story as well, I was giddy whenever we got scenes with them - which, soon enough, was many.
The problem with this book, really, wasn't our main couple, but a few things adding to be the reason for my star off.
First off, the first 23% of this dragged. We barely got any interaction between these two and it focused on a whole lot of nothing that I gave a shit about. It seemed like set up for more, but none of that really pays off - maybe just sprinkling for future plot, I guess? - I didn't really see the point of wasting 20% of this story on the nothingburger plot.
I didn't care about the inner workings of the frats - I've already learned enough about them and I get that some people might read this without having read others, but as someone who has read all 4 before this, being reprised on all the frat rules and regulations is *snore* boringgg. And Anthony trying to figure out who is sneaking into their frat only for it to be Xave sneaking into see Damon from the last book so it wasn't even a plot point about Anthony or West, really, so we didn't need so much focus on it at first before Anthony discovered Xave was just there to be with Damon.
And as for West, he discovers this hard drive from these two guys doing an exchange and one of them drops it, so he just takes it and puts in his room and there's one scene where he checks out what's on it, but otherwise it's forgotten until the end where it just has to do with this overarching blackmail plot from the first few books and that has *nothing* to do with West or Anthony. Literally they meet with our Rebels guys to discuss the hard drive and Anthony and his 3 buddies all contemplate if it even has anything to do with them...SO LIKE....what was the point of that plot point? A connection should have been made to the Keepers quartet so at least there was some point to this barely touched upon plot.
I think there was a vague "we could potentially be connected, maybe not, we'll see" vibe to it and that was it. It was a waste of a plot point and honestly boring.
The best of this book is when it came to Anthony and West, although even then I wish more time had been spent with them. I don't know why this author felt the need to have all these guys' romances interconnected, happening around the same time/year with somewhat of an overarching plot, because it kind of backed her into a bit of a corner.
Not too bad of a one, but enough that Anthony and West's romance really starts after spring break, and that's only about 2 months before school is out so we spend a LOT of time with them for just about 1 week, and then it kind of moves forward a bit more, but not much before we get to the culmination of everything and them declaring love for each other - after about 6 weeks of being together, and not even officially at that. I think it would have been okay for the other couples to have moved on and graduated by now and this having started in a whole new year to get them months together so this didn't feel a bit rushed by the end.
Like West goes from being engaged - although yes, their relationship is clearly falling apart - one day to getting fucked by Anthony later that night after they break up. Very quickly West forgot her - not that she deserved remembering, but it was still quite rushed.
Also Anthony thought to himself that he was a bad guy, and he messed with West a *bit* but not to the extent an actual bad person would, he actually felt like a pretty good guy overall - even if he would go far for anyone he loves, yes, he didn't actually come across as dark all that much. Jax and Jace still hold the title of actually fucked up guys with an exception to their men.
Also I will admit at this point the kinks are getting a bit repetitive. I still absolutely loved and enjoyed their sex scenes and as long as I love the couple and enjoy the sex scenes, I don't mind if they're a bit repetitive, but I will admit this series could use a change of pace, something a bit different. We've done the masked mystery man bit already. It would be nice for an actual change up in their kinks - and the narrative actually committing to what it promises. Like yeah there was somnophilia, for all of 2 seconds before West wakes up, and it's the only scene of that kink in the whole book. Like...boooo, give me more!
So yeah, all these niggles frustrated me and I had to give this a star off, as much as I loved Anthony and West together.
I also loved the epilogue, it made me so so happy - and yay for actually focusing on the couple of this book and not the next one! - and seeing these two happy and in love by the end was great.
But yeah, some frustrations with it being a bit slow at first, focusing on other things except these two, and some niggles here and there added up to a star off of this.
But it was still, overall, very enjoyable and these two definitely carried this story. If their chemistry hadn't been so on point and I hadn't enjoyed them so much, this would have gotten a lower rating, I have to say. Thankfully after 23% the focus on these two ramped up like crazy and it was all systems go until the end. These two are definitely one of my more favorite couples of this series, although I will say the first two couples - Killian/Felix and Jax/Myles - still hold the top 2 spots for me. But these two are definitely my 3rd favorite of this series, no doubt about it.
I'll be excited to see Hazen and Liam's story next, and hopefully we'll change things up a bit, kink wise as well to have it be new and exciting.
Can't wait! 😘

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize West was Damon’s best friend West, even with Damon being mentioned🤣 I love all the books in this series but I think this one is officially my favorite. Ant and his pining over West for years, West finally exploring his bisexuality, Ant being absolutely everything West needs without hardly trying. These two were absolute perfection. I couldn’t have asked for a better story for West. I had hoped when we met him in X Marks the Spot that we might get a book for him because something just seemed off with his relationship, I’m so so glad Willow gave us his story. Absolutely amazing.

I really enjoyed this one! West was SO endearing and Anthony was his perfect partner. He treated him so well and very dirty like West wanted.
Side note: if authors were to have a comment box I would request more sleep sex scenes please! I read MANY books and this is a rare occurrence! More somnophilia please authors! The one scene we get in this book was HOT… there was a slight plot hole but I overlooked it because of the hotness 🤣🤣
West puts himself down often in this book. It was hard to read at times. The way Anthony handled that is so well done. Bravo 👏🏻 Willow for that!
This book felt a bit like a spin off. We get some of the characters from book 1-4 but this is not the Rebels frat but The Keepers frat so we get more characters introduced. It was fun figuring out how everything fit together in the overall plot.
West’s bi-awakening was well done as well.
“Yeah, there’s no maybe about it. I’m definitely into guys. Maybe not a lot of guys, but I like dick. And I apparently really like it when that dick is attached to a dominating predator in a mask who talks dirty and rubs off on me in the woods.” 🤭🤭🤭
The Mr. X stuff 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥plus some of the side plots were also intriguing enough I’m definitely excited this series will continue with Liam’s book.
West and Anthony’s HEA was SO 🤯🥰🥰🥰

West puts himself down often in this book. It was hard to read at times. The way Anthony handled that is so well done. Bravo 👏🏻 Willow for that!
This book felt a bit like a spin off. We get some of the characters from book 1-4 but this is not the Rebels frat but The Keepers frat so we get more characters introduced. It was fun figuring out how everything fit together in the overall plot.
West’s bi-awakening was well done as well.
“Yeah, there’s no maybe about it. I’m definitely into guys. Maybe not a lot of guys, but I like dick. And I apparently really like it when that dick is attached to a dominating predator in a mask who talks dirty and rubs off on me in the woods.” 🤭🤭🤭
The Mr. X stuff 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥plus some of the side plots were also intriguing enough I’m definitely excited this series will continue with Liam’s book.

Loved this book.
Ohhhh, how I love West. He’s genuinely a well-thought out character, naive but beautifully vulnerable. I love how he’s chaotic in both his verbal and internal thoughts and I enjoyed reading his never ending questions and ideas. Contrasting this, Anthony acts as an anchor for West. He’s calm and he’s intelligent and articulate in regard to grounding West. It’s what made their dynamic for me so refreshing to read.
The introduction of the other characters, Hazen, Connor & Rath was also much enjoyed. I’d have to say my favourite of them is Rath, but I’m a sucker for a calm character.
I didn’t have much problems with this book, other than I’ve realised that I don’t particularly like mask play. Which is fine, because there is other aspects of the book that smooth it over for me.
Can’t wait for Hazen and Liam’s book!

I’m Absolutely in love with this series! I love a dark romance where the MC’s are actually just so soft and squishy for each other, while also being ridiculously kinky. This was probably the “lightest” of this series so far, Anthony is still arguably morally grey, but he’s also just the biggest softie for his man.
As with this whole series, there is plenty of debauchery, and we dived back into some hidden identity between the characters, and masks *wink wink* which was such a delicious treat!🔥
I’m so invested in the overarching plot, and I’ve really enjoyed the way it keeps building and involving all the new characters introduced, while also bringing back past couples as well.
Super excited for what’s coming next, I just know the next book is going to be a hit as well!👏

Oh, I did love this one! Ant and West had me glued to the page.
I adooooooored West. He’s got this rather chaotic charm to him, and I related to him in many ways – the constant apologising, the oversharing, the nervous babbling, the overthinking(!). Bless him, how oblivious he is to how serious his and Ant’s relationship is as he tries to convince himself not to get too attached. It upset me so much how he’s treated as lesser than his brothers in his family *sob* when I thought he was so incredibly endearing. I loved those little sassy moments of his!
And Ant, he bided his time with West for three years, ‘casually stalking’ him, but in that time, he noticed so much about the other man, and he shows this in the little things he does to look after West. To me, Ant’s not as intimidating as the Rebels, but he still holds that vibe of being able to protect himself and those he loves. I absolutely loved who Ant is with West – his caretaking, especially – and how he appreciates West for being who he is. He’s my favourite kind of possessive.
Oooo, how I loved the anticipation built up by the text messages to show what we can expect in the spicy scenes – it was soooo gooooooood! I was practically panting for the scenes to play out. And boy, were they great when we got them! West submits so beautifully, giving himself completely and obediently to Ant, and he’s so darn responsive, while Ant gives him exactly the right amount of encouragement and praise. I really appreciated his gentle handling and assurance when it was needed to ease West’s self-doubts, both outside the bedroom and in.
And my gawd, that epilogue! I LOVED that so much for these two, and especially for West because it’s exactly what he deserves. I was so excited for him to have finally found his person!
I’d say this one wasn’t as dark as the other books in the series and there was less of the ongoing plot than there has been in the others, but I didn’t mind this one bit because I was too busy enjoying everything about West and Ant.
This series continues to keep me gripped and I only crave more with every book I finish. I’m excited for our next couple and how the plot unfolds from here.

Some of my favourite quotes
Yeah, there’s no maybe about it. I’m definitely into guys. Maybe not a lot of guys, but I like dick. And I apparently really like it when that dick is attached to a dominating predator in a mask who talks dirty and rubs off on me in the woods.
Ant looks gorgeous any day of the week, but the black leather motorcycle jacket and boots he’s wearing with a pair of dark wash jeans and a black tee elevate him from hot to god tier,
“You need to stop putting yourself down. You’re not a moron or dumb or any of the other things you call yourself.” “I feel like all of those things,” “You’re not. There’s nothing wrong with you.”
I didn’t expect this, and I didn’t predict it, but there’s no denying that West feels like mine.
“It wasn’t casual. I showed you more of myself while I was wearing a mask than I’ve ever shown anyone in my entire life. I dropped defenses for you that I’ve never even considered dropping before. It might have been anonymous, and it was definitely kinky, but make no mistake, West. It wasn’t casual. Not for me, and not for you, either.”
“Just be yourself and don’t worry about all the bullshit you worry about when you’re with other people.”
“I loved you before I even understood what love was.”
“I didn’t think romantic love existed. I thought love was just friendship with good sex, but it’s so much more than that. It’s the most real thing I’ve ever felt, and you’ve been mine since that first night I snuck into your room.”
He belongs with us, but more than that, he belongs with me.
West is mine, but I’m also his, and now that I have him, I’m never letting him go. And I know he’ll never let me go either.
“I’ve loved you since that first night back at school, and I’ve loved you a little bit more every day. You didn’t just show me that love is real, you taught me that it’s the most precious and incredible thing you can experience.”

I've missed Silvercrest U! It was great to be back and I really enjoyed Anthony and West's story!
This series does need to be read in order, because there is an overarching plot and there are things that build on scenes in other books. We saw less of the Rebels, but we got to know the Keepers better. On the surface there were less nefarious things happening, but I feel like things were in motion behind closed doors.
I loved how over the top Anthony and the crew are. I really enjoyed Anthony being so attentive with West! As a neurodivergent person myself, I felt like a lot of West's struggles were things that I struggled with. Safe to say that I really emphasized with West. I loved that Anthony payed attention to him and never saw him as a burden. I really enjoyed their dynamic, their banter and how they went from tentative friends to lovers. I loved seeing Anthony help West calm down and feel safe enough to be his rambling self. I loved that West helped Anthony see that love did exist. West also brought out a playful and open side of Anthony that no one else got to see.
I loved the new characters we got to know and I'm excited to eventually read their stories as well. I lived the banter between Anthony and his friends a lot.
If you're in the mood for over the top characters, not so secret secret societies, hurt/comfort, anonymous texting and frat brothers/friends to lovers, then this is the book for you.

So here’s the deal: it was a cute story. The boys were adorable, West with his ADHD (I get you, buddy) and Anthony with his demisexuality and the spice was hot, too, but… nothing really happened in that book.
I was hoping for some fun banter and general involvement from the side characters (they were barely there, we were pretty much just getting two main characters all the time with no other dynamics), as well as some frat storylines to add depth to the plot.
All we got was a cute, relatively basic and unproblematic romance that really didn’t need that many pages. A novella would suffice.

I had issues with the timeline and spacing in this book but I’ve noticed that in this series (book 3 yes I’m still bitter about that one sue me) still couldn’t put it down though!
Safety
They hooked up 3 years ago. both with others after, one H1 has ex fiancé and his only experience with a guy was H2
Neither came off as man whores H2 was with men before too and I like that he still had some firsts to give to H1

I really enjoyed the text exchanges and hidden identity in this one. There were a few parts that were a little boring/repetitive but overall I am really enjoying this series and can’t wait to read about the next couple.

This book was so good!! Like omg this whole series has been so amazing! It’s honestly one of the best series I’ve read I have loved every single book so much. This book is no different it was so funny, spicy, sweet everything wrapped up in one!

I just love this series and I’m enjoying this new group of guys and exploring a new fraternity on the campus!
This one was not dramatic like the first four but it clearly shows what’s the mystery will be through these next ones involving what one of our MMCs found!
Eager for more!

Another great book in this series! I just really love it, and I’ve enjoyed every single one of these stories so far. This one is something truly special!
Anthony catches West's fiancée cheating on him and sends West an anonymous text message. And so, things take their course…
The way Anthony takes care of West from the very beginning is enough to make you melt. He accepts West just as he is, unconditionally! And West, with all the thoughts swirling around in his head that sometimes drive him absolutely crazy, is just so incredibly lovable ❤️! You just want to give him a big hug.
But of course, it's not all sunshine and roses; alongside the love story, there are still all those secrets and shady dealings within the fraternities that gradually come to light.
The book also comes with a good dose of super-hot (sometimes kinky) spice! I absolutely love that 🔥🌶️!
If you've enjoyed the series so far, you're going to love this episode too! I highly recommend it.

Thank you so much Willow for the ARC!
Yesssss this series is sooo good!
I love dark romance with characters that are soft for each other.
I loooved Anthony and West!
I was kind of worried that there would be a cheating trope in this due to knowing West as having a fiancee, but I'm so glad that wasn't an issue.
I was also unsure about Anthony from the previous book, but he's a total caretaker and honestly really in tune with what West needs.
Plus, the masks?? And the CNC?? I'm obsessed lol
I loved their chemistry, and how they actually went back years, quietly obsessing over each other since the hunt.
Anthony also not only looks after West, but he's also getting him to break bad habits.
Not able to get up in time for class? He'll help with that. He brings food and sends meals to him too bc West forgets to eat.
Also getting him to stop apologizing for things that aren't his fault?? Yes, please!
This book was a bit different than the others, the focus really felt more on the couple rather than one of the guys being in mortal danger.
It was a good change of pace, and suited them!
I always say that the best type of couples are a mix with a chaotic, anxious, overthinker and another partner who is laid-back and helps organize everything.
There was such a good mix with the old couples, and new characters, with each frat having their own cliques.
I also feel like Willow is setting up for a future series with the introduction of new characters 🍿 so I'm here, sat, hungry for more!

I wished I liked this more, but the pacing was so off… and maybe it was a bit longer than it should. Nothing all that happens, so many inner monologues for both of them. The little action is in the final 15-20 percent which is just odd, nothing is resolved with that enigmatic flash drive. The entire book felt like a spin off of this series.
I relate liked West, but daamn that boy is clueless, I was so happy when Damon told him “Oh, honey”, because I was “oh, honeying” him the entire book. Ant was okay, but I didn’t like that he uses the same phrases repeatedly, it was kinda annoying. So not terrible, but not that great either.

Ladies and gents, I WANTED to love this so much, but it just didn’t hit for me. There were parts of this book I loved, and I think both MCs were very loveable but it felt very flat. The other books in this series I have devoured but this one felt very generic with not much characterisation going on. I also really struggled with the long chapters… it just wasn’t needed. I think if the chapters were cut down and the characters were more developed this book would have packed a punch. I just didn’t feel a lot of love between the MCs until the very end either.. I will read the next one in case it’s better but if not this series is done for me.

Yet another really solid addition to this series. We’re focusing on another house now, having paired everyone from the original group of Rebels, and I’m super excited to explore the new characters.
I really enjoyed Ant and West’s relationship. West is a bit of an oblivious golden retriever and I loved that Ant had enough patience to just wait for him to figure everything out. This series has a lot of twists and turns, but for a book that had one of the mc’s in a long term relationship (and engaged) at the start, this was wonderfully low-angst.
I’d highly recommend this entire series.
⭐ 4/5

Tbh if I didn’t like the kinks/tropes in this story it’d be a big nothingburger
Plot? There was an (abandoned) attempt
Relationship development? Uhh I gueeessss?
Resolution of character’s family issues? Barely
But the mask play was fun! This author writes some good smut and I always love her books with a hidden identity trope

absolutely love this series
I wish I could read this series from the beginning for the first time. I am so enamored with all of these men in this series. I always think each book has the best characters until I read another one. I LOVED Anthony and West. SO SO MUCH. & I cannot wait for Hazen and Liam!!! Cannot get here fast enough

decent but not the best
I was curious about West after meeting him in the previous book. Also Anthony too since didn’t know anything about them. They had chemistry and were good together but the story got very long and I don’t feel like anything was really accomplished. It was a lot of long smut scenes. Things just felt unfinished and also very repetitive. Could’ve been shorter

OMG, I was really excited for this one because I love this series and after book 4, I’m really happy that the rhythm of this book is different, really centred on Anthony and West. Their dynamic is quite something, there is this aura of mystery, of hiding, sneaking. In a way, their first encounter led to a kind of mutual crush without anything happening for three years. But that is until West falls apart after finding out his fiancée is cheating on him - opening the way for Anthony to insert himself in his life.
Anthony is to be one of the next heads of the house, him and his friends are thick and thieves and cause mayhem together. When the opportunity arises to get closer to West, he doesn’t hesitate and claims him.
The pace is different and totally centred on West and his struggles with mental health, I couldn’t stop reading and I’m even more curious about who will come next and how it will unfold.
I received an ARC Copy of this book, this review is from my own thoughts 😍

This is not like offensively bad it's just repetitive and stale as fuck. I was bored out of my mind and could not care any less about the characters and their relationships. Also for how long it is, you don't see the friendships or family relations or the university. Basically you get nothing but a bland relationship that feels forced asf
