The Chaos Crew #3
Killer Heart
Sins of the father... or the daughter?
I've discovered the family I was stolen from in the most unexpected place possible.
It's hard to believe I belong with them. A lifelong assassin mixing with people who campaign against criminals? There's no way in hell they'd accept the real me, let alone the brutal men who've welcomed me into their lives and their beds.
There has to be some way to make this work. I can't help craving a real home after so long without one.
And now that my enemies are targeting my birth family as well, they might need all the skills I can bring to bear.
But the farther I venture down this path, the harder it's becoming to tell who's really villain or victim here. When even more horrifying secrets come to light, will I choose the right side?
*Killer Heart is the third book in a new gritty contemporary romance series from bestselling author Eva Chase (writing as Eva Chance) and Harlow King. No major triggers, just hot murderously-inclined men, a deadly heroine out for revenge, and an enemies-to-lovers romance where the girl gets all the guys. Prepare for total bloody chaos!*

This was my favourite yet and I’m now incredibly intrigued to discover what happens next for the chaos crew and where all of the pieces fit. So after the prior revelation of just who Dess's family are she now attempts to assimilate into this new reality which is so far removed from what she is used to. Feeling like a fish out of water Dess or going by her birth name Rachel finds herself buying into the whole dream of a happy family and finally belonging, despite the bonds she feels with the crew who are now her chosen people these strangers are her blood kin.
When cracks appear it becomes apparent there are dark and terrible secrets lurking beneath the facade of perfection and suburbia, one’s that Dess finds it hard to reconcile with. There are some new players added plenty of heat and emotion as bonds grow deeper and a whole lot of action wrapped in a big bow of mystery and intrigue. Honestly, this series just keeps upping its game and it’s turning out to be such an addictive read. I definitely recommend reading it.

4.7 stars.
Fucking. Hell.
This series had not let up for a second on the violence and secrets.
Though I wasn’t exactly enthused about Dess’ disbelief throughout this whole book. It’s understandable. But I was hoping she’d keep her resolve and not get caught up in the dream.
🤷🏻♀️ Like I said. Understandable. I just got a little frustrated with it.
Ok.
Enough.
I need answers.
I need closure.
I’m gonna finish this damn series.
I’m just crossing my fingers that the ending is as good as the rest of the series is promising it’ll be.

we need MORE than 4 books in this series!
I love this series, but it’s not perfect. It’s close, but there always seems to be just a bit missing in order for me to call it perfect. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a ridiculously fun series, and I NEED more than 4 books, PLEASE. It can’t end with book 4! It can’t. It’s too good to just cap with one more book. I need more Chaos Crew out in the world, taking on new assignments and uncovering more conspiracies around the globe. I want to see them hopping on planes, parachuting in the night, taking a boat by sea to get to a remote area, etc. This series really needs to go international and see the characters traveling abroad, please! I beg of you.
Okay, just some observations (no spoilers here). There is usually a lot of incredible action in these books. This one lacked that for me. There’s some, but it didn’t have the level of detail that the first 2 books did. The first 2 books made me feel like I was watching an epic spy/assassin/thriller movie. Heart-racing, theories flying through my head, finger scrolling. Book 3 had none of that for me. It was much more sedate, even though a lot happened in this book in regards to the plot. It just felt rushed a bit, in terms of shoving plot points into this book, while not taking as much time to include excellent details and descriptions like book 1 & 2.
This series is still lacking crucial nuances as well. When they’re staying in the cave house, where are the bedrooms? Why don’t we ever see any of them in bed, waking up, falling asleep, tossing at night as they think and ponder over what’s happening? Why don’t we see them cook their meals and sit down to eat together? Brush their teeth. Comb their hair. Watch tv. Having casual conversations about things other than the conspiracy they’re trying to solve. Without those nuances, the story feels abrupt, like it’s fast-forwarding to only the most important parts, but it’s those occasional nuances that help make a story feel more rounded, and it helps make the characters feel more real as well.
Okay, SPOILER in THIS paragraph only!!! Skip this paragraph if you haven’t read this book yet! I absolutely hate spoilers in reviews, but I feel like I want to address this, because this felt frustrating to me in this book. In books 1 & 2, part of what made this series feel so refreshing is the character’s critical thinking skills. They rarely make avoidable mistakes because they’re pros, they’re smart, and they actually use their heads. So what the heck happened in book 3? Where the hell did their critical thinking skills go? They overlooked so many obvious things. First of all, let’s talk about Garrison’s abduction. Obviously, the Malik’s weren’t the ones to abduct him. It was clearly transparent that the Hunter was behind it. The Maliks were genuinely confused when Dess confronted them about taking Garrison. Why would they lie and deny that if they were the ones to take him in order to lure her there? But more importantly, after everyone is killed, even Dess says that none of them had the skills to take the Chaos Crew on. So how did the abductors manage to get one over on her and Garrison if it was the Maliks? Those abductors were pros, not dumb culty suburban family members. It never even occurs to them that they were set up to take the Maliks out and do the dirty work. Bigger question, if they’d got that far in their thinking and logic, they’d now be asking WHY were they set up when the abductors could have easily killed the Maliks themselves? It’s ridiculous. And the fact that NO ONE thought the Hunter could have ties to the mysterious man in the phone calls from book 1? I mean, I was screaming about that all through this book, but it never once occurred to any of them. I just found a lot wrong with book 3 in regards to how the main characters act, think, react, plan, etc. This entire book felt completely off from their characters, and I felt really let down about that. Also, why has no one ever asked what toddler the Maliks buried thinking it was their dead daughter? Dess never thought to ask, nor did the Chaos Crew, and most importantly, nor did the Maliks. The Maliks buried a dead daughter, only to find out she’s actually alive. So who did they bury then? Like, come on, these are basic questions, people.

Okay, safe to read! No more spoilers now.
Overall, I had fun reading this book and I’m still ridiculously happy that I did. I can’t wait for book 4–and hopefully books 5, 6, 7… I thought this book could have used more steam. It felt lacking in book 3. There were sexy times here, but it felt less like a part of the actual story in this book, and more like after thoughts the authors threw in for reader gratuity. It definitely could have used more steam, chemistry, sexual tension, and baby-making scenes, imo, but scenes that further built the story up and added to it. I’m so excited to see where the series goes next, but there BETTER BE MORE THAN FOUR BOOKS!!! (or I will seriously cry 😢)

This book was really good…it kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to know what plot twist was happening next. The only reason I gave it four stars is because there was quiet. About of twists and turns that it was a little hard to keep up. Overall…amazing book! I am starting the next one now!!
February 5, 2024
It took me a little bit to get into this one but boy was it worth it in the end. The way this book was set up and that ending? I’m even more excited for the next one.
Let me start by saying the men in this book were perfect. I wasn’t sure about them in the beginning but they were actually so sweet in this one. Even Garrison!! Especially Garrison. Him and Dess get some much needed time together and we get to see him soften up for her.
A little spoiler below. (So don’t read if you don’t want to be spoiled)
One of the men, I won’t say who, but one them told Decima they loved her and it was so sweet, but what I appreciated the most was that Dess was honest with him and told him she wasn’t sure she could say it back. Not because she didn’t feel the same way but because she just doesn’t understand what love is.
And yes, that’s obvious because she didn’t grow up in regular environment. I don’t know how to explain but I would have been disappointed if she had just said it back. Because that wouldn’t have fit with her character or development. Of course she doesn’t know what love is at this point just yet. But it doesn’t mean she won’t and I look forward to when she does.
I guess I’ll just say the men care so much for Decima and it’s honestly so sweet.
I also really really enjoyed the plot twists (plural). I feared I might get bored when I started but the twist and turns really keep you on your toes. This book isn’t just simply about a daughter being reunited with her family. It’s about so much more.
Anyways, I’m actually looking forward to the next book.

This is such a fab series and one that has hooked me from the get go.! This latest addition is every bit as good, as gripping and as exciting as the previous books. The storyline is enthralling and entertaining and I am loving the characters growth and development and the twists and turns, well some of them blew me away, I did not see them coming!! Now patiently waiting for the next book!
February 13, 2022
Flew through this, really enjoyed finding out more! Loved seeing a more vulnerable side to Dess and how much the guys had her back. Enjoyed them coming together more! Cannot wait for the last book to see it all come together! Had lots answered in that book but the ending left even more questions 👀 really enjoying g this series!

Yet another thrilling addition to the wild ride that is the Chaos Crew's story. I love the action that is included in each book, taking you along with the crew as they fight to show Dess just how they support their girl fully. Just because she is a fully trained assassin doesn't mean she isn't worthy of being loved.
Decima and the Chaos Crew are back again to get to the bottom of who her family truly is. Is it the four men, who fondly call her Dess, who have her back 24/7 or the people who are her birth family, who call her Rachel Malik? When it all comes down to the fine points of who she trusts implicitly, Dess will take her crew hands down. She knows they have her best interests at heart and will be there for her when all is said and done. She doesn't have questions about whether or not they are out to hurt her. But when a mysterious individual who calls himself the Hunter keeps messaging her with cryptic information, Dess isn't sure just who her birth family is. Can she believe that her parents are who they seem to be or is there something darker lurking in their background? Who keeps sending other crews out to eliminate her four men but not harm her? All these questions leave Dess reeling with so few answers coming to her.

2.5⭐️
This book took a wild turn that I was not expecting at all. Undecided on how I feel about it and how it all ties together with the rest of this series.
I feel like I spent the entirety of this book frustrated with the whole crew. They are all supposed to be highly skilled killers/criminals/mercenaries and no one was even the slightest bit concerned with Dess becoming part of the Malik family…? They are a high publicity political family and this literal trained killer is just going to jump into the limelight? No hesitation about that? Really?
Blows my mind tbh
Common sense and logic do not exist anymore.
That’s really just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to these supposedly well trained, best in the world, killers for hire not acting like it at all and being very blind and blasé about some major red flags and general “duh” moments throughout the book.
I’m so irritated by that portion that I can’t even think straight to string together coherent sentences and critiques.
The spicy scenes were good though and I loved getting to know more about the guy’s back stories. Would have loved to see more connections being built between Decima and her men and less about her actively ignoring one red flag after another.

August 10, 2025dnf - I really tried and made it through the first 2.5 books but I am done at this point. I didn’t enjoy the writing style, Dess is too naive and you barely know anything about the guys. There is no chemistry between any of them.

Dess may have finally discovered the benefits of having a big family who are devoted and cherish every moment they get. After a life of having nobody care about her well-being outside of the scope of completing a mission, she was embracing the fact that she suddenly had parents, a brother, grandparents, uncles and aunts, and even cousins. A big family of law-abiding citizens who crack down on crime at any chance they get. There in lies the rub. Dess is far from a model citizen. She's an assassin who has been killing people since she was old enough to hold a knife. How does she hope to fit in with a family that would sooner she had remained missing and presumed dead and turn out to be one of the shady people they despise. Add to that the fact that she has an undercover police officer pushing her towards family secrets that may be better left buried. What happens when Dess realizes that her picture perfect family is not everything she had thought they'd be? And what if they are even bigger monsters than the ones who are hunting her and her crew down to snuff them out?
This installment was trippy. I had a feeling there was something monumentally wrong with that family. I couldn't figure out what that something was but had a lot of theories. None of them came even remotely close to what those family secrets actually were. Poor Dess finally gets her family and now she has to figure out what is wrong with them and where to insert herself into the mix. I was kind of weary of her brother most of all. He just seemed to have this vibe about him that he knew exactly what was going on with her and that she was hiding something about herself from the family.
I did like seeing the relationship between Dess and her men finally reaching that realization of "love" pivotal moment. One by one they all started to succumb to the fact that their relationship with Dess may be a bit more than just admiration and really hot sex. But then again none of them every gave off the impression that that was all they were looking for. Except maybe Garrison a bit, but that's because the poor man masks his every feeling. But boy when he takes that thing off he quickly becomes my absolute favorite of the men.
I think with romance books that have a suspenseful feel to them it's very hard to figure out how much to lean either way. Either you lean into the mystery and give a few cameos of romance or you go the other way. I think this book was heavily focused on the mystery over the romance. There were very little pitfalls in the romance overall. There was one instance where they got a little ticked over her being with all of them but that got fixed monumentally quickly and then it just seemed they had zero issues afterwards. I would have liked to see at least a bit drama and resistance from at least one of the men to the whole sharing idea being as I think Julius and Talon were the only ones to have ever shared women together before. I felt like the romance got a little lost in all the action sometimes.
I think this was a great addition to the series. It brushed up and cemented the relationships between Dess and her men as well as through a bit of intrigue into the mix when it came to Dess's unusual family. Who are thoroughly messed up...

Book: Killer Heart
Author: Eva Chase & Harlow King
Recommend: Yes
Spice: 🌶️ 🌶️
Age recommendation: 16-30+ Years
Plot:
Descima confronts her father in a coffee shop and tells him she is his daughter. He test her DNA and calls her to meet. She meets the whole family and they welcome her home straight away. She continues to live with the chaos crew and doing jobs with them while she gets to know her family. The boys don’t trust her family and keep digging to find things on them. Descima gets contacted by a man called the Hunter who tells her that her family is hiding a horrible secret and she needs to uncover it. Descima discovers that her family kill young young children for some cult thing and takes it into her own hands and kill them all.
The book ends with her finding out that the Hunter isn’t a cop but a man who owns a club, and ordered the hit on the family that held her captive. He was called the viper in book 1.
My feelings:
This is one of those books you read in-between reading other books cause you cannot find a good book to read.
This book had more spice then the other 2, and we finally got a MMMMF Chapter. The men are finally releasing they are all in love with Descima but she hasn’t worked it out yet.
”I’d never had a woman look after me like this. Never had a woman who cared enough and understood my kind of life enough to want to. In that moment, I’d have killed anyone who so much as looked at her wrong.”
I love how they are all jealous she has her family now, cause they don’t want to share her, even though they are trying to fob it off with saying they are just worried she is gonna be hurt if it dosnt work out.
”that we wouldn’t lose her. So that I wouldn’t lose her. I sure as hell didn’t know where I’d find another woman to match her. But I’d let her go if I had to. I just wouldn’t like it.”
They all keep telling her she is apart of there family now, and that she is a member of there team. Like they wanna make sure she doesn’t leave them.
Garrison has turned into the baby of the group now, declaring his love at the end of the book. I was wonder who would do it first. I had thought it was going to be Talon first.
”I cared about that woman more than I’d cared about anyone or anything since I’d lost my parents and my brother as a kid.”
Do I recommend…. Yes for a book in-between books, but not as a strong book by itself.

Book 3 was not what I was expecting....at all. We finally get to see Des meet her family after not knowing they existing for most of her life. We think its going to be awkward but good for her...little do we know everyone has secrets, including her family. I won't say more because what I thought was way off and I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone! Just be prepared for the shock of some enlightening moments. OH and loved the cameo from another awesome series ❤️
Now in terms of the story, this part of the series was more slow-paced for me. Like I knew it was needed to help set up the final book (seriously, this series needs like 5 not 4 books in total haha) but it just didn't hit the same way the others did for me for some reason. It might have been some of the things the crew missed they wouldn't have if they were so good at their jobs and Des wasn't this amazing ghost and killer. Like it's fiction, I get that, but some of the development wasn't true to the characters and what was presented in previous books so I think that is what threw me off.
In terms of the relationships, I was happy to see some growth in that. Getting to learn some of their backgrounds was heart wrenching and made me like them even more. Talon for me is such a conundrum with his gruff exterior and his knitting hobby hahaha. I love Blaze's nerdiness and Garrison's openness he finally has at the end. I like Julius, just haven't connected with him as much as the others. I am interested to see what happens after that cliffhanger/revelation at the end of this book and how that will impact our crew. I was also trying to remember/figure out who exactly survived the even towards the end of the book (again no spoilers) but it wasn't 100% clear so I think they might come back to bite them in the rear. 4/5 stars for the story because of some of the issues I mentioned earlier.
Narration was good, I think my biggest complaint is that the narrators speak at very different speeds so depending not the chapter I had to switch from 1.3X to 1.5X speed and it was getting annoying. I definitely like both narrators, but their big difference in cadence in this book in particular threw me off. There were a lot more side characters in this book and I thought the portrayals of them was done well. 4/5 stars for the narration for this audiobook 😊

What was that? I’m so so frustrated.
Frist of all: why is there so much unnecessary cursive writing? It’s getting on my nerves since book one, like why is it so random and often? That’s a really big point why I nearly stopped reading throughout every book. Several times.
Then the MCs: I like a feisty, confident and badass woman but she’s not it. Dess is so naive and the story is about a girl who’s been trained since a toddler but a wrist sprain or whatever is holding her back for how long? She should be good in her job but it doesn’t sound or feel like it, it was just so frustrating sometimes.
The same with the four men, like you’re just walking in so many so SO obvious traps without a proper plan just because someone got in trouble? In their kind of job that shouldn’t happen - several times! Especially bc they should be the best killers ever?
Then there’s nearly nothing except background story’s from the men. There’s no chemistry, no sparkling, no development, no nothing.
And to all five of them: how could they be so f*ing stupid sometimes?? Like it’s not suspicious at all that Dess gets so easy into the Malik’s? There are so much hints even without that stupid hunter, it was just unnecessary and ruined it for me.
That may have been a reverse harem but that had absolutely nothing to do with smut or spice. That’s not even slow burn because there simply is no burn at all for a „dark romance“ book.
The plots where alright but why where there so many different plots and so plump described? I think in that book series is just every plot you can think of in these genres and as long as each is in one of the four books it’s okay I guess? Well it wasn’t okay, it was just bad sometimes. It dragged the whole story so so long and it bored me so much. They should’ve just gone with one or two plots but make them better and bigger, more of a story.
I had the feeling that it was just a list with different scenes matching with the plot but it was just poorly written sometimes.
So overall it’s just a 1/5. poorly written, no character development and wayy to many plots and dumb MCs. I don’t even know how I read every book tbh. In the last two books I just skipped the spicy scenes because they where so out of place and didn’t fit the whole situation at all. Not a fan, wouldn’t recommend.

When chaos turns into repetition.
The third book of the Chaos Crew series is, unfortunately, where I started to lose interest. The writing is still solid, and the world remains intriguing—but this time, it wasn’t enough to keep me fully engaged.
In this installment, we do finally uncover who Dess is and who her biological family is, which should feel rewarding. Instead, the story immediately introduces yet another mystery, shifting the focus away from resolution and straight back into unanswered questions. Rather than feeling excited, I found this increasingly exhausting. After three books, the constant cycle of “answer revealed → new mystery added” has simply worn me out, and the plot starts to feel unnecessarily unhinged.
What frustrates me most is that this book could have been a satisfying conclusion. Everything could have been tied together neatly, giving the series a strong ending. Instead, the cycle continues, stretching the story further than necessary—and for me, it’s simply too long now.
We do learn more about the other Chaos Crew members, but even that starts to feel formulaic. Whenever Dess faces a stressful moment, one of them conveniently appears with a perfectly fitting story from their past. And whenever she needs to be „reminded how strong she is,” it somehow leads to a sexual encounter. Nicely written, yes—but by now, very predictable.
Overall, this isn’t a bad book. It’s just a tired one. After three installments of the same pattern, my curiosity is gone, and for the first time in this series, I don’t feel the urge to continue with the final book.

Dess has discovered that the family she was stolen from are actually a prominent family who campaign against criminals. That means they are very unlikely to accept the real her let alone the men who are brutal but did welcome her into their lives and beds. But she craves a real home and family and so she tries to find a way to make it work to have her birth family and her chosen family. Then enemies start to target her birth family as well and they might need her skills too. But as she ventures further into this path it becomes harder to work out just who is the villain and who is the victim. Will Dess be able to pick the right side when the time is right?
Wow - there was layer upon layer in this book as Dess tried to navigate the real versus chosen family as well as handle all of the revelations and what their effect was on how she saw the people involved. I loved the way that the guys stuck by her using their own skills to help to find out the truth (even if it went with or against the way she might have wanted it to go - the truth was more important). I loved the way that decisive action was taken (even though it was a bit of a surprise exactly how it all ended). Contains lots of danger, drama and at times violence. Easy to read and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

So many questions answered, only to be left with even more. Most of this 3rd book focuses on Decima finding and getting to know her biological family. There are hints that they aren’t what they seem to be throughout the book and it all comes to a head at the end
Although she struggles with what she finds out about her family, she also comes to terms with family being more than blood. The Chaos Crew is her family and they accept EVERY part of her. She also solidifies her relationships with the guys by putting it ALL out in the open. Together…her and all 4 guys. HOT.
The ending, while a cliffhanger, isn’t a “middle of the action” kind, but definitely one that leaves you with questions. Normally, I’m pretty good at predicting the outcome of a situation or at least have some idea. I honestly don’t see the correlation between The Hunter and everything else that happened. Was there someone else in the barn? Was Damien really responsible for what The Hunter accused him of at the very end? So. Many. Questions. And they can only be answered by reading book 4 because I have no clue what’s happening at the end.
Definitely recommend if you like RH that involves a lot of action, suspense, and the sexy times (but isn’t just all sexy times). This one definitely has a good plot behind the relationship aspect and I can’t wait to see how it all ends.

I've mentioned this in my reviews of the first two books: this (contemporary/hitman/spy/etc) is not my typical genre, yet I'm obsessed with this series. The first book pulled me right in, and I've enjoyed every one since then.
Dess is a strong, badass female character although I feel like in this book she loses a bit of her spark, and we also hear a little less from her as the men get more POVs. Each of the men is fully fleshed out (sometimes an issue in RHs!), and in this book we finally got to hear a bit about their backstories and how they came together as the Chaos Crew.
For those interested in the spice, I'd rate it at maybe a 3.5/5, if only because sometimes it feels as though it's a few paragraphs shorter than it really could be. There's one excellent group activity scene, as well as a MFM threesome, and a few 1:1 sessions. There are no "crossed swords".
I had forgotten that this was the third of four planned books, so I was dismayed by the cliffhanger after getting so wrapped up and finishing this book in two days! But I will wait patiently for the fourth book! Not that it matters for the quality of the story, but the author is also so sweet and engaged with her readers.

Oh boy! Dess finally approachs Congressman Damien Malik, and tells him she is the daughter that he believed was dead. Once he verifies her identity, she is brought into the bosom of the Malik clan and introduced to her mother and brother, as well as other family members. Since she can't exactly tell the law-and-order Congressman the truth about her assassin upbringing, she has to make up a story to explain what happened to her after her kidnapping. The men of the Chaos Crew does their best to support her and she really needs their help when a mysterious man, who calls himself Hunter, gives her cryptic information that her family is hiding a dark secret.
The crew works to help her solve the mystery of her family, but after they are attacked several times Dess starts to think that her father has something to with it. Then one of the guys is grabbed of the street and Dess is forced to take actions she never wanted to take. But the story does not end here. Stay tuned.
I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

I started this series and book at the beginning of the year and had to put it down. I love the reverse harem and the thrilling/suspense writing but I'm just so over series taking so long. This is only the third book and while it answered some of my questions it wasn't strong enough to keep me where I couldn't put it down. It also ends on a cliffhanger just like the other 2 books in the series.
Book 4 is the final book and I'm ready for the answers and the story to be done.
The spice is fantastic but I found myself skimming more to get to the answers I wanted. Yes it was nice to get all the guy's backstories and see them grow in their fondness/love for Dess. It was good to see her come to grips with her new reality and find that her "found family" was a much better fit and what she truly wanted. I'm just mad and disappointed that while this book answered one question it created more. It felt like this book was a whole subplot that was just made because the author didn't know how to get to the ending or the "big" plot twist.
I want to know but I'm also kinda over the series.

After “stalking” Damien, Dess finally approaches him and tells him that she is the daughter they thought was dead. She is then introduced to all of the family. Since the entire family is abhorrent towards any criminal activity, she makes up a story about her life after the kidnapping.
Dess is a strong character, but craves love attention from familia bonds. She tries to make it work with her new-found family, but also tries to keep the relationships and life with the men of the Chaos Crew. They also understand her need for a family, and try their hardest to give her what she needs.
A new set of challenges occur, where there is a threat against her new family. She doesn’t understand why they are being targeted, and is trying to find more information about the threat and her family. This creates an aura of mystery, with so many twists and turns. I cannot wait for the last book to put all of the puzzle pieces together!

Mysteries, blood, violence, and love. Never a dull moment.
Starts right off where the last book ended, you must read the prior books in order. Des is a fish out of water, longing for the family she never had. But she has to be careful what she wishes for, her family seems a little too perfect on the surface.
A great plot line as the story evolves, there are more players entering the story and trying to determine whether they are friend or foe is challenging and kept me guessing. I love the secondary character that is brought in from another series, that was so great to get a little follow up from a past series. The story continues with layers of mysteries to be unraveled, the guys are starting to gel and there is more heat with Des and the guys. I really love this series and can’t wait for the next book to find out what happens next. I received this book for free and voluntarily reviewed.

Dess has finally got the chance to meet her "real"family in the third book of this phenomenal series. We get to see yet another different side to Decima, a girl who has found her place within the Chaos Crew,but also somewhat vulnerable whilst getting to know her new family. The Crew are as always,behind her through thick and thin,they're her guidance,her loves but they also know when to step back and let Dess deal with things.
Powers that be are after them,and she has to navigate and deal with the reason why...secrets and lies always rear their ugly heads in these situations,but Dess and her crew always stick together when it matters.
Eva and Harlow have shown how phenomenal they really are as writers and i literally cannot wait for the final book to see how everything comes together...does this series really have to end???

So Many Twists
I love that this series keeps you guessing as to what's next for Decima. After the last book and getting confirmation that she was the child of Congressman Malik, who everyone thought was dead, she approaches Damien Malik to let him know she is his daughter Rachel.
It doesn't take long to figure out that something is off with the family even with the strange calls from someone who calls himself The Hunter. Dess and her men find themselves in a couple of weird situations, which they manage to get out of, but each one seems to point to Malik.
Her father is a fanatic in Congress about increasing punishment for criminals even for some of the smallest of crimes. Rachel,Dess, can tell something is off about him and his family.
I absolutely love all the twists this story takes and am looking forward to the next book in April.

Book 3 in the series and definitely want to read in order. Story picks up shortly after end of book 2. Dess and the guys have done their homework and now it is time to meet her father.
I adored how supportive the guys were of Dess even though they were conflicted with the idea of her choosing her new life over the one she has with them. As a vocal opponent of crime, there is no way her father will left her be a part of both worlds.
As Dess sinks further into her old-new life, things start to not add up. There is a mystery man urging her to dig and someone is out to separate her from her men.
Even after reading many of the author's stories and knowing her skill with twist and turns, I didn't see this one coming. I cannot wait for the next book for more to be revealed.

Fine I guess
After the first book the rest were kinda boring tbh. I don't get why though. They technically had all the good stuff but it just fell flat for me. The sex scenes didn't even bring me joy and I kinda just forced myself through it like when you're sick and have to take medicine.... It felt like that. But I can't figure out why it didn't light up for me. Very confusing. Maybe it was that there wasn't a connection? Idk! It wasn't horrid. There was no red flags or anything completely annoying. It was just a book I read. Not something to write home about nor would I ever want to really read again or continue. After three books and I stil! Had to choke it done just because I wanted to see who the big bad was. Yep found out. Also confirmed alot of my suspicions. This just was very lackadaisical and disappointing.

Poor Dess
Poor Dess, as soon as she manages to find some answers about her past, she ends up with more questions. After finally finding her family and going all in to get to know them and be a part of their lives, it seems they may not be the people she thought or hoped they'd be. With regular anonymous contacts by someone calling themselves the Hunter, it seems that more is going on behind the scenes than meets the eye, but what exactly that is and who is responsible is not that clear cut.
The plot flowed brilliantly, never a dull moment, lots of action and steam. We got to dive deeper into the Crew's past in this one and find out what set them on the path to finding each other. This is a seriously awesome series and I highly recommend it. 😍

insane
This series is literally insane. Just when you think you have the answers more questions appear. So the questions of her family were taken care of and then sinister and ominous plots arose. You know who wouldn’t have expected that. People got involved saying they were one thing and yet they aren’t. More questions. I know my review probably doesn’t make sense but I don’t wanna spoil anything so I was trying to talk in a riddle. It’ll make sense when you read this book. Seriously though I love this series and can’t wait for what’s next! Also I think it would be totally awesome if Decima and Mercy got like their own crossover novel. I’d love to see them reaction to the same situation and to each other as well as how their men would interact.

Seriously though I love this series and can’t wait for what’s next! Also I think it would be totally awesome if Decima and Mercy got like their own crossover novel. I’d love to see them reaction to the same situation and to each other as well as how their men would interact.

This series just keeps giving. So many lies, secrets, and drama. We get one thig answered for another 5 questions to pop up, but we do finally get a bit of it tied up at the end when we find out about The Hunters involvement with the household. Dess kinda annoyed me by this point, I don't know why but something about her started to get on my nerves. Overall, I did really enjoy this book having read through it a lot faster than the first two. It took a much darker turn than I was expecting but I loved it. The smut is getting a bit better but it's still not at the level I'm used to, which don't get me wrong works well with the plot, but still leaves it at a 3/5 (a rating system is posted on my insta SmutyBookAholics)

What the fuck is up with her family. Seriously, that is some crazy cult shit. She needs to kill them all. Grandma Ruby, her brother, all of them. Can't leave any of them behind.
Also, that ending... they are literally surrounded by the people who have been after her. There is no way they are getting out of there unharmed.
UGH. We finally got a group scene!!!!! It was great. I was a happy happy camper.
We are definitely seeing some growth but it feels like more and more is being piled on top.
As of right now I don't see a way around this. The next book is the final book so I'm sure I'm in for a wild ass ride. :D
Seriously loving this FMC.
