Darkest in the series
Okay just a warning this is just as dark as the other books in this series and perhaps even more so than the last. Basically be prepared and brace yourself.
I’m on the fence on whether to give this story 4 or 5 stars. If we were able to give half stars, I would’ve probably given this story a 4.5 out of 5. I enjoyed this book to the point where I couldn’t put it down, but it definitely frustrated me more than the other books in the series did. I found myself frustrated with the men, even though it wasn’t really their fault and most of all I found myself frustrated with Itzel. Don’t get me wrong she’s a sweetie pie, but spoiler....
Her not putting her foot down when it came to her sister didn’t come off as an act of benevolence to me but rather an act of complete idiocy. I adore Itzel I really do but she came off as a bumbling idiot in this book because she just refused not to see her evil ass sister without rose colored glasses. It was upsetting and ultimately frustrating as I didn’t think her sister could do any worse and she really truly did in this book. It could have been prevented if Itzel had grown a backbone sooner where her sister was concerned but instead it felt like her ignorance and forgiveness for her sister was dragged out for the sake of the storyline. Don’t get me wrong, I relished in her eventual defeat but we all know the b-word should have been dealt with sooner. Now in regards to steam I have to say this book is a 10/10 and for the most parts I liked all of Itzel’s mates but they pissed me off and I know it’s childish but I didn’t think they would have fallen under a spell so easily. Tadeu rubbed me the wrong way and I felt like he still had a long way to go in redeeming himself. I liked their rough Sex but he was a complete and utter asshole to her and at times, I wished he just wasn’t part of the harem. I’m all for a large harem but he’s given me bad vibes from the beginning of the series and I kind of hated how he seemed to fetishize the fmc’s virginity and how he even seemed upset with the fact that he didn’t get to take it himself. Dude wasn’t a virginal flower sooo misogynistic much? I get this is a dark read, but it really didn’t do any favors in endearing his character to me. I get he went through things but I wish we got a scene where he and Itzel talked it out. Also, the idea that Camila may have touched one of them, not confirmed but the 1% chance it may have happened threw me out of orbit. I literally want to start a hate group on that bish, because I feel like any type of punishment wouldn’t be enough. Kudos to the authors for writing a character who gets my blood boiling with the mere thought of her name. Anyways. I’m still a little melancholy about how things turned out in the midst of the story in regards to a certain male character but the ending was considerably happy even though I wasn’t completely happy with the way the story played out. I definitely think I’d come back to it just for some of the smut scenes.
