The Villainous Heroes Series #1
The Game
My life was perfect, full of love and light and laughter, but if my past has taught me anything, it's that nothing good ever lasts. Darkness lurks around every corner.
And now, it has its sights set on the men I love.
Protecting them is the easiest decision I have ever made. Using my body as a shield between them and those that wish to take them out, I am slowly wasting away into there is no hope other than a small blotch of brightness in knowing I alone am keeping my devils safe.
But darkness has always been intrinsically part of me, and I've met someone more sinister than Satan himself, someone who takes all my broken pieces and sharpens them into death.
With everything on the line, we have to work together to save the souls we love.
Even if it means losing ourselves in the end.

5/5⭐️ 5/5🌶
Where do I even begin? This book from the get go gets real. It’s dark, so definitely check TW. Let’s get into it. I was left stunned several times throughout the book. Like…there is a cliffhanger in the middle of the book, whaaaat? You may think you know what’s going to happen, but it was really unpredictable for me. I did predict one or two things, but the greater plot was shocking. The stuff the girls went through, what Alice went through, the mutual bonds forged by trauma, the vengeance, the chaos…I could go on, but IG cuts my reviews. I bounced back and forth between who my favorite MMC was. At the end, I can’t decide.
Literally, the last chapter I was like fuck this book. I was so mad and emotional. But the epilogue helped heal my bleeding, black heart while still hurting me a tiny bit. The Game pulled strong emotions from me, which is a RARITY!
The guys are just dominant, deranged perfection. I think I got pregnant by fictional men multiple times reading this book 🤣
The Game ticked ALL MY KINK BOXES and then some!
It was a wild ride. Emotional rollercoaster. I need more. More Teddy, more Maks, more Nick, more Aria and Ellie. Definitely more twins and Alice. Teddy’s character in this book was everything. I thought while reading, can’t nobody deter me from my baby, Tristan. Wrong. Teddy can get it. But in the end, I’ll just build a harem of unhinged psychos. I’ll be their little bobchka bunny 🐰🦋
Just read the damn book. That is all. I give it ALL THE STARS AND CHILI PEPPERS!
Must read Folie A Deux prequel first or it will not make sense.
Favorite Quotes: (this is my most highlighted book I think btw, so there’s a lot.)
I would always give her more. I would drive a knife straight into my chest and pull out my heart if it meant having her back, and therein lies my weakness. -Jameson
If we have to burn this fucking world to the ground to avenge what’s been done to each one of them, so be it. And if it costs me my soul? Good thing I never fucking had one. -Tristan
“I fuck hard, Alice. I like to play with blood. I like to make you scream against my palm. I don’t stop, even if you cry..” -Teddy
“Good fucking girl,” he says huskily, slowly pushing back in, my whines of need trapped against his hand, my breathing erratic. “Look how well you’re taking me.” -Teddy
“If you’re going to be a fucking brat, choose which knee you’d like to be bent over, babochka,” -Tristan
This place reeks of despair and hopelessness, and as much as I enjoy horror movies, I never intended to end up in one. If I hear a fucking child giggle, I will sacrifice my very own twin to get out of here. -Tristan
“But that’s the difference between a hero and a villain, babochka. I am the villain, because I would burn this entire world just for you and not give a fuck who else I killed, so long as your heart kept beating.” -Jameson
“So used to getting your way, fucking whore. We’ll play with you until you learn you’re ours, da?” Jameson growls. “Needy little slut. Look how wet she is. Do you think she’d come with one lick?” - Jameson

Not only is Ruby one of my favorite people but she also writes BAD@SS Dark Romance books.
If you are in a slump or just looking for an amazing DARK romance, this is it y’all. I read this book last year and I’m literally still obsessing over it. I’m not sure I will ever be over this story. That being said you have been warned that it is DARK and that you will fall madly in love with Teddy.
Teddy is a dangerous, k!nky, caring man that stole my heart and I don’t want it back. Alice (the FMC) grows so much in this book with the help of Teddy and I just love her so much. They trauma bond over and he teaches her to learn to embrace the darkness within.
I’m not going to say much about the plot because honestly this book is just amazing to go into blind but the writing is INCREDIBLE, the emotions that I felt in this book are second to none.
This book takes please right where Folie a Deux ends, so make sure you read that novella first.

Okay primero le había puesto 4 pero luego de pensarlo, le doy 5 porque mientras yo no lloré, admito que me puse bastante sentimental por el final. Es toda una montaña rusa, y Alice es el personaje central, suena medio tonto y no sé cómo describirlo bien, porque claro hay muchos personajes en juego igual y está el romance pero es viaje donde Alice crece un montón - ahora sí que sentí ella fue el Sol, donde los gemelos Jameson & Tristan giran en torno a ella. Sorpresaaaa, aparece Teddy el cual al principio andaba toda enredada sin saber si la historia se convertiría a RH o qué onda por lo que no sabía si la idea me agradaba del todo pero mientras al principio me incomodaba un poco, luego fui acomodando las piezas y creo Teddy encaja tal como debió ser, eso, es algo que es incondicional también a su manera (no quiero decir mucho xd para gustos colores ahrre 🤠). Quedé muy satisfecha ❤️ y contenta, Ruby me ha ganado como lectora.

This book.. gosh I have so MANY feelings and my emotions are all over the place atm.
I already know I’m going to be in a massive slump after this. What a 𝗪𝐈𝐋𝐃 ride this was..
I’m not going to write anything about this book plot wise, because I don’t want to spoil anything.. I strongly advice you to read the novella Folie a Deux immediately and jump into the Game afterwards, but please have a 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐥.
I love the fact that Alice grew so much since the prequel, she became a strong woman in stead of the modest and innocent girl she was in Folie a Deux.
TEDDY has my whole heart, I fell hard for that guy and the way he looked out for Alice ♥️
This was definitely a rollercoaster of emotions, you will experience all the emotions and sometimes I felt like I couldn’t catch a break.
This book contains a lot of (heavy) triggers so please check TW before you dive in.

First things first if you haven’t read the prequel novella Folie Á Deux you need to go do that immediately ‼️
Second of all I need to send Ruby my therapy bill because what a WILD ride this was. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, a rollercoaster of emotions were had throughout this book.
Third of all Teddy is EVERYTHING. I love this man, I will protect him at all costs. Looks like he can kill you - will kill you. Lethal and beautiful AND is there anything he can’t do!? 🫶🏻 sorry twins you’re hot and dangerous but this is a Teddy fan club now, I don’t make the rules.. okay I do but the way he looked after Alice 😩 I was besotted from the get go.
There’s not much I can say on the story plot wise because I’m not sure how to describe it without spoilers. This book has every trigger and kink under the sun so please check the trigger warning before reading but let me tell you a few of my faves 😮💨 blood x knife play, spitting, DP AND DVP 😏 screams internally forever more! This book was just something else. When I thought it couldn’t get worse for Alice it did exactly that. I loved it. Go read it.

I loved this book! I was not prepared for this book, at all. It was a roller coaster and like all of Ruby Medjo’s books high on emotions. Medjo broke my heart and put it back together. I was not expecting to love Teddy as much as I did. How could you do this to me Ruby? Teddy was everything. He was hot, dangerous, and the way he took care of Alice had me swooning. I mean I love the Terror Twins, but Teddy really gave them a run for their money. I loved this book and I highly recommend it. Keep in mind there are a number of kinks and triggers so reader discretion is advised.

Wowwww!! This was an insane rollercoaster of emotions and I LOVEDDD being back with Alice and the twins🔥 Teddy?! Teddy was a huge surprise to me in this book because I didn’t know how he would fit into the story. Turns out I’m obsessed with him and everything he does for Alice🥹 I cannot wait to see where this series goes because the suspense and mystery surrounding this series is one of the best🙌🏻

I am totally in the minority here. I was so confused for the entire book and I didn’t see any chemistry with anyone only character growth that wasn’t even good. I feel like this book was really unnecessary and I really didn’t like it especially when she didn’t even get with Teddy? Like what? Also, we didn’t get to see her is finally seeing the twins, which is the best fucking part
definitely disappointed
3/5 ⭐️

i land on 4.5 stars for this one, cause honestly i really and truly loved it.
i fall back from 5 stars for two small reasons:
1. contained my least a trope, revealed below
2. disliked Medjo's use of the word "for", to continue on or transition through sentences/thoughts. it became SO ANNOYING and repetitive. it's such a mundane thing but it's not something i find common in books and i'm glad it isn't because it really got on my nerves.
i felt like it had a lot to live up to after reading Folie a Deux, which was one of the best lil spicy novellas ever. i didn't think i could love any characters more than Tristan and Jameson however then Teddy entered the equation and just blew everything out of the water cause HELLOOOOO?!?
THAT MAN IS PERFECT AND HE. CAN. GET. IT.
i would kill for a Teddy, yup.
i'm just such a huge sucker for a fmc and mmc creating a trauma bond, honestly and Alice and Teddy really did it for me. he's just all around perfect... well maybe not PERFECT cause he's kinda emotionally unavailable but otherwise yes he's perfect. the perfect dom, knows how to care for others and put others first (esp. women), just the sweetest man ever. the amount of times Alice comments on how he's "pure" and doesn't agree with her like omg boy do you not see yourself?!?!?! ugH!!!
their entire relationship was just chefs kiss *mwaaah*
then shit hit the fan and in came my least favourite trope of all time which is surprise pregnancy and ugh i was so annoyed but like...... i didn't DNF and i'm happy i didn't because... well.. it didn't get better (but for someone who doesn't like surprise pregnancy, it got better). if you know, you know LOL.
aside from the romance and spice, i also really enjoyed this plot. it was interesting, suspenseful, believable and i loved that everyone eventually got what they deserved. i love a book that contains sweet, sweet revenge.
spice in this book was top notch, i literally loved all the spicy swoony moments between Alice and Teddy, and then the spicy moments between Tristan, Alice and Jameson later on were also pretty great (sauna scene i'm lookin' at you). this books spice was so good imo because it was full of all my kinks bYEEEE.
this book gave me the same vibes as Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline by HD Carlton, so if you enjoyed that duet, you may enjoy this as well. make sure to read Folie a Deux before reading this in order for things to make sense!!

I don’t think I was prepared fully for the rollercoaster this book was going to take me on. I knew, from others, that it would be a ride, but I definitely think I underestimated Ruby!!
The Game picks up where we left off—Alice left the twins to keep them safe; blackmailed and with no option to to protect the terror twins, she sends herself into the underground circus. Alice goes THROUGH it at the hands of her grandfather and uncle. But, she meets a particular darkness named Teddy Poe.
Going into this book and with the teasers that Ruby gave us of Teddy, I thought I was going to hate him. I thought he was going to be this god awful, repulsive character. I was so wrong. SO WRONG!! I know so many people, like myself, were not thrilled when we found out Teddy was being added as a character. That being said, this story would not be what it is, without him. Ruby gave not only Alice, but us as readers, someone to lean on during the depravity that Alice encountered. Teddy literally is going to eat your heart out.
I don’t want to say much because there is so much that happens between the pages of this book. You need to go in with an open mind, and guard your heart. Ruby holds nothing back with this story; she will literally rip your chest open, carve out your heart, toss it around, only to later put it back in. This book was written very clearly from deep within the depths of Ruby’s heart; you can feel her soul pouring through the pages. We all grew to love many of these characters in Folie à Deux, and throughout The Game, you will only fall more in love.
Like I said, I’m not giving much away, because you need to go in blind. Make sure you set aside time to bing this book; once you start it, you will want to avoid all responsibilities until you’re done!! Oh, and make sure you have tissues close!!
Don’t worry though, the Terror Twins, they’ll stop at nothing to get their girl back. I loved this book, and couldn’t have asked for a better starting point to this series!

I’m already in Hell; I may as well fuck the devil while I’m here. 😈
Did I trust Ruby when she asked us to trust her at the beginning of the book? No I did not. Do I trust her after finishing this book? Absobloodylutely.
I went into this knowing there was another love interest, and it didn’t sit right with me. I love my twins and nothing will ever change that… or so I thought.
So this story takes a totally different turn from where we left off in Folie À Deux, it’s darker, with a lot of potential triggers, so please check these.
But Alice’s light in all of this dark, is Teddy, the freak, the sweetest yet darkest soul you could find. It did take me a bit to get into this story, as like I say it wasn’t what I expected, and I was siding with Alice in her guilt towards the twins. However, not knowing how anyone would react in this traumatic situations, we have to forgive her and allow her to get through it any way she can. I certainly would be anyway, Teddy is an absolute 10/10.
“I’m your only God right now, and you’re going to sacrifice yourself to me like a good little lamb, aren’t you?”
There’s so much to this plot that I just didn’t expect, and the dynamic between the twins and Teddy made me laugh so much, I am so glad they put their differences aside because they knew what Alice needed, true love right there.
I knew from the beginning there was no way the three of them would end up with Alice, they are all too possessive, and would never share with an outsider. Although this did hurt my feelings a lot.
“In another lifetime, Alice, we are soulmates. I believe that with everything I have in me. But this…this lifetime is for them.” 😓❤️
“You’ll always be ours, Alice. Even in death, we’ll fucking find you and claim you again and again and again.
GOD I LOVE THEM ALL. Whatever will come next 😅 I am fully not ready for Teddy to have his own book.
Did I trust Ruby when she asked us to trust her at the beginning of the book? No I did not. Do I trust her after finishing this book? Absobloodylutely.
I went into this knowing there was another love interest, and it didn’t sit right with me. I love my twins and nothing will ever change that… or so I thought.
So this story takes a totally different turn from where we left off in Folie À Deux, it’s darker, with a lot of potential triggers, so please check these.
But Alice’s light in all of this dark, is Teddy, the freak, the sweetest yet darkest soul you could find. It did take me a bit to get into this story, as like I say it wasn’t what I expected, and I was siding with Alice in her guilt towards the twins. However, not knowing how anyone would react in this traumatic situations, we have to forgive her and allow her to get through it any way she can. I certainly would be anyway, Teddy is an absolute 10/10.
“I’m your only God right now, and you’re going to sacrifice yourself to me like a good little lamb, aren’t you?”
There’s so much to this plot that I just didn’t expect, and the dynamic between the twins and Teddy made me laugh so much, I am so glad they put their differences aside because they knew what Alice needed, true love right there.

Please don't take the triggers lightly, this book deals with some very hard and dark themes and warnings should not be ignored.
Excuse me, can I have my heart back? Because it pretty much got torn out, stomped on, set on fire and then left in pile for me to try and scrape back together. Incredible, heartbreaking, such a well written book filled with very dark themes. The first part of the book skated by but alas I was lured into a false sense of security so that Ms. Medjo could destroy my emotional stability. And she did that in buckets. Whilst I adored the twins and their stubborn, possessive ways. Teddy stole my heart, he was everything Alice needed and I loved how after everything they went through they didn't maintain a romantic relationship. I need more for this series and soon. Especially a Ellie and Nik book, and Maks and Aria please, I'll duct tape my heart together for you to destroy again, no bother.

holy shit i didn’t think i’d CRY while reading a dark romance book, but lookey here! there were so many twists and turns in this book, but it flows together with the storyline so well. i can’t believe how much growth the mc’s had gone through, especially alice. i love the new her and how she’s rebuilt herself.
i came for the twins but stayed for teddy because good lord that man deserves all the rainbows and butterflies the world has to offer. i felt sick to my stomach knowing their baby was ripped away from them, but the character development teddy had was intense as FUCK. and i love that alice and teddy are still able to connect and continue their bond. i love how no one forces her to “choose” and just waits for her to say what she wants.
5/5 read i can’t wait to see how teddy’s book will be because everyone knows that man deserves the best partner omfg.

Certainly the most macabre reverse harem I’ve ever read, yet it was full of love & light amidst the darkness. Villainous heroes, indeed. 💜

I have no words. And I thought nothing could top the first book. I wanted to enjoy Teddy but was skeptical, but everything felt right in the end.
Gosh, I loved the two books.

This book broke me in the best possible way, I
didn’t think I would fall in love with Teddys character as hard as I did but he was everything I didn’t know I needed. So excited to see what else Ruby has to bring for these characters.

“Welcome to the darkness, my little butterfly.”😈
FUCK MY LIFE. I've had to let this one process a little and I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it justice with my words to be honest. I'll give it a go though. If you know me I've never given over 5 stars. But 5 stars does not do this work justice.
This book. WOW. They say broken things put back together only make them more beautiful right? Well here's hoping because I had my heart broke, stamped on and sewn back together in in patchwork pattern that I never even knew existed within a book.This book I would put on par with Hdcarlton's work. The way the writing flowed, the description, the language, the russian, THE CHARACTERS!
I was 4% in and wanted to throw my kindle across the room and bombarded @rubymedjoromance with messages the whole time i was reading it. I was on a rollercoaster and felt every emotion possible. Love, hope, despair, hate, grief, overwhelming pride in the characters. At the start of the book you learn Alice has left the Twins. They think she's conned them and ran but she's protecting them from harm. As the book goes on she meets Teddy. Now Teddy is an enigma, a dark, vengeful, sadistic soul but an actual rock for Alice through her trauma. They enter into a physical arrangement for connection while they try to find a way free from the circus of despair only for Alice to find out she pregnant the night they have their plan to escape. Until everything goes wrong.
All through Alice and Teddy's situation I felt like I was cheating on the twins. I felt sad for them and worried about the hurt they would feel once the truth came to light, but they made me proud tenfold. And while it was hard for them to accept what had happened and understand all they wanted was their babochka. I don't want to say too much because this needs to be read. Please take the TW seriously this book is dark. As I got to the last page I had equal space in my heart for the Twins and Teddy. They are all unique and special and sadistic in their own ways but hell if they aren't all a turn on.

ARC REVIEW!
I started this book with the wrong intentions. At first, I thought of this book about Alice and Teddy, their journeys through the shithole they founds themselves in. Then, as the book progressed, I thought this book was about Alice and her journey back to the twins.
I couldn't have been any more wrong. This book wasn't about the twins or Teddy despite being introduced. This book is about Alice, Alice and her journey. I'm not gonna lie, I started out this book with the expectations of it being a love story, and even though it was a book about love, it was also a book about self discovery and truly loving yourself. It's about metamorphosis and the constant change in us all and loving all the scars whether it be physical or internal.
I wasn't receptive of Teddy at first. Quite the opposite. I think I felt betrayed at the relationship as it continued to transcend and just like Teddy had provided Alice with a safe space, I felt myself falling for him slowly, realizing I had completely misunderstood the dynamic in their relationship.
Alice and Teddy were both trapped in a situation with no control, no where to go except for each other and how else to make a situation better than to seek solace in the person going through it with you? While their dynamics completely special, in the darkness blossomed a beautiful friendship that helped Alice in her journey. While she continued to seek comfort in the familiar, Teddy allowed Alice the safety to find herself again, to pick up the broken pieces that seemed beyond repair and allowed her to embrace all sides of herself, even the darkest parts. He wormed his way into my heart and I absolutely love Teddy.
This book will make you cry, make you want to throw it across the room or store it in the freezer because you don't know what happens next. However, I would give anything to read this book for the first time again and I implore everyone to read it.

Stars: 5

*Must read the novella "Folie a Deux before reading this book! Please refer to trigger warning list before reading*
I don’t think I’ve ever felt such a range of emotions before while reading. I felt sadness, I felt elation, I felt despair, I felt grief, I felt every. single. emotion. I cried, and then I smiled through my tears. Reading this was riding a rollercoaster that I didn’t want to get off of.
I’m not going to sugar coat it - what Alice goes through in this book is very dark. The trauma she experiences in this book completely transforms her. She’s no longer the innocent girl she was in Folie. And in the end, I think she truly finds herself through all the pain and horror. She finds her voice, and I truly respect that about her.
A huge part of Alice’s transformation is the enigmatic Teddy. I’ve never been so drawn to a male main character before. He’s been through his fair share (and then some) of trauma - and he’s learned to embrace his darkness and turn it into a strength. At the same time, he’s so full of life and humor. I love him so, so much. His relationship with Alice is an unconventional one. But in the end, it makes so much sense to me. They are bonded in a way that the world may not understand, but it’s so true to them. As for the twins - their struggle really humanized them to me. Their response to Alice’s trauma was very realistic to me, and their reunion was hard-won. But it was absolutely worth it.
The writing in this is incredible. I honestly feel like this same story, written by a different author, would not have made me feel the same emotions. You can tell that every single word is so carefully chosen, and comes from a very personal place. Hats off to Ruby - and I hope that everyone loves this story as much as I did!

I’ve just had my heart ripped out, put back in, and ripped out again like 50 times… but it was so worth it.
First of all, Teddy. I fell SO IN LOVE with Teddy. He deserved so much better in life. Also, the irony of the biggest psycho of them all being named Teddy is not lost on me.
When I say Teddy is the biggest psycho of them all, I wasn’t kidding. Jameson literally describes him as ”He is unlike anyone I’ve ever met before, and although I know the sick things I am capable of, although I know my very cousin Maks is about as psychotic as they come - Teddy overshadows us all. He could rule in Hell without batting an eye, could find solace amongst the brimstone and fire”
So yeah, I’m solidly in team Teddy.
Between the twins, though, I’m still a Tristan girly but I can honestly say I love both Tristan and Jameson, and their dynamic. I honestly think you couldn’t have one without the other, because they balance each other out so well. Also, I almost screamed when I realised that in my previous review I mentioned about the twins being Russian but having super American names, and it was addressed in this book!

This book OMG talk about a ride! I’m still processing everything that happened! I knew the happiness I felt at the end of Folie A Deux was too good to be true but I wasn’t prepared for the level of angst, sorrow and pain The Game would bring me! Right from the jump this took a plot twist I wasn’t ready for! My first thought was Alice how could you leave them? But when I found out why my heart broke for her will life ever give her a break? She was stuck in the darkest most disgusting situation and breaking little by little and maybe beyond repair. Light came from the darkness and his name was Teddy. I really didn’t want to love him because of my loyalty to the twins but I fell deeply down the rabbit hole for that man! He is pure and good and the most sinister kind of evil! He looked out for Alice and cared for her and gave her hope to cling to when she had nothing left. That man deserves everything good the world has to offer! Although they formed the ultimate bond he selflessly worked to get her back to her beloved twins! He delivered on his promise but the price that everyone had to pay was large! The plot twists literally slapped me in the face at every turn! I left the book feeling sorrowful and happy at the same time! There are some heavy scenes in this book ones that absolutely left me stunned! I would say this might be one of the darkest books I’ve ever read but it’s also so beautifully healing in its own way! I had to take my time with its heaviness but I can say this is one of my favorite books that I’ve read this year and probably ever! The nods to Alice In Wonderland were everything! I love the books that will literally abuse my emotions and wound my soul and Ruby definitely did all of the above with this one!

'It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.'
The Game by Ruby Medjo is a painful and beautiful road to revival and finding your inner strength amongst the dark.
In the first part we follow Alice down the rabbit hole and end up in a godforsaken place run by Alice’s grandfather(!) and his sleazy son.
A place where decay and corruption parade their ugly face.
A place where weak and poor are swollen fully by those who supposed to protect.
Amongst the despair and hopelesness, Alice finds her solace and light. A protective hand of Theodore Poe, who as much as loving and caring, is devious and ruthless and nonetheless bound to this place by his own tragic past.
The first part ends on a horrendous event that goes beyond any sane recognition. The journey of Alice, Teddy and her twins to become selves again is one of the best piece of writing I’ve stumbled upon lately.
'Show me your darkness. I want to be born again.'
The whole second part I was driving myself insane thinking whether Alice and the Stefanov brothers overcome the unspeakable past and manage to find their happy place, the three so much were longing for. The process of healing and coping and finding a way to accept who we are because of the dark and void that rebuild and mold us into something stunning and beautiful, like a babochka, is the most sacred gift a writer could give to their readers.
I have no words for Ruby Medjo, for conjuring such a dark and magnificent story. For giving us characters whose flaws are their strength. Characters, whose dark and hideous actions only paint them in light.

Let me start by saying that no review will do this book justice. I could try, but I would fail. Plus - no spoilers. Just know that this book will stick with me forever. The raw emotion that Ruby elicits is gods damned sorcery.
I’ve been (im)patiently waiting for this release for months and I was so excited to get a chance to read it! There are few books that can make me truly emotional, and this one definitely checked all the boxes. It’s up there with Was I Ever Here, Breath Mints / Battle Scars, The Order series, and the trilogy that must not be named. (Eff you, KS.)
Ruby made me fall in love with so many characters at once, and she definitely got more than a few messages from me during this read. Alice’s growth and transformation was beautiful. The spice was freaking delectable. The storyline was compelling.
Teddy will be scarred into my heart for eternity right next to the twins. Where do I find myself one (or three) of these men!? Of course, Maks also gets an honorable mention. But really, every one of these characters are intricate and purposeful. Ruby’s ability to immerse you into each of these characters mindsets left my emotions at an all time high and begging for it not to end.
If you haven’t read Folie a Duex yet, what are you even doing? Run and read it so you can jump into The Game and message me about how much you loved it!

Where do I even begin?! This book made me emotional! I wanted to cry and scream at the same time while reading this book. Ruby really outdid herself on this one. I read Folie a Deux which is the prequel to this story and loved that one. I was skeptical going into this book since I was so attached to Jameson and Tristian who mentioned in the prequel. The game introduces a new character into the mix, named Teddy. I was bit apprehensive about him at the beginning. However, seeing his relationship with Alice grow and their interactions throughout the book, made me love him a lot more than I originally thought.
The plot twist in this book took me by surprise and I was second guessing myself if I was going to be right or wrong. The last chapter took me by surprise and can say just mentally prepare yourselves. The epilogue made up a bit after that last chapter but, can say this book is definitely worth the read. Also, the things these girls went through is just insane and can say this book is not for faint hearted. Overall, I am so excited to see how this series progresses and how Ruby intends to take it. I miss all the characters and waiting patiently to dive back into this world.

The last chapter took me by surprise and can say just mentally prepare yourselves. The epilogue made up a bit after that last chapter but, can say this book is definitely worth the read. Also, the things these girls went through is just insane and can say this book is not for faint hearted. Overall, I am so excited to see how this series progresses and how Ruby intends to take it. I miss all the characters and waiting patiently to dive back into this world.

This book was a roller coaster to say the least. I just finished and am trying to collect my thoughts on it but I’ll start by saying first read Folie à Deux, then read The Game, and for both books, please check TW. This is definitely a dark romance and has some content that could be triggering.
In the novella, we get a glimpse at what kind of trauma Alice has gone through and we get even more of an idea of it in The Game, but on top of trying to work through her past trauma with her guys, she faces even more in this book. Though luckily finds a friend in Teddy along the way. Teddy, I think, ended up being my favorite MMC. With the way Teddy was with Alice, he made Jameson and Tristan step up which was something I didn’t even realize was needed.
Before reading, I kinda glimpsed through the reviews to see what this book was all about. I skimmed to get an idea and kept seeing people mentioning Teddy and how much they liked him and I’m right there with them. Teddy was exactly what Alice needed through all of that and helped Jameson and Tristan realize what she needed was not to be coddled, but she needed a dominant hand telling her what to do so she could lean into that and feel safe.
All in all, a great read.
Tropes/TW:
Reverse harem
Mafia romance
Forced proximity
Dark romance
Forbidden (twin stepbrothers/guardians)
Age +12 years
Impact play
D/s
DVP
DP
CNC
Breath play
Hand necklaces
Blood play
Knife play
Come control
Orgasm denial
Coming on command
Praise/degradation
Possessive/protective
Touch her and unalive

I’m confused
I wanted to really like this book, given that I LOVED the prequel novella, Folié a Deux. The twins and Alice really steamed it up in that novella, so I think I went into this expecting more of a bratva-type storyline. In addition, the sneak peek at the end of Folié is about Ellie’s forced engagement to Nick Fordson.
So, as I started the Game, I was super confused, tried to roll with it, but I didn’t expect Alice’s time in the circus to last so long. I did love her relationship with Teddy, and I love Teddy more than the twins, I dare say! I’m happy with all the screen time he got in the plot, but a little disappointed with how things wrapped up for him at the end of the book. Also, I wanted him to shed more blood. I liked seeing his psycho side come out.
Whats added to my confusion is the number of characters that seem to try and take center stage of the plot, then disappear for the rest of the book. I suppose the author is setting the stage for those characters to reappear in their own book of the series. I feel it may have flowed better to keep them as side characters without POV chapters (Maks). Honestly, where did Maks go? I thought he was helping get Alice back and he just vanished!
I give very high marks for the steamy content: primal play, non-con/dub-con, dom/sub play with aftercare, MFM, and looooitttts of rough sex 🔥

There was so much talk after Folie a duex that we NEEDED more of Alice, Jameson and Tristan. Did Ruby ever deliver! Now, this is a pretty different turn and take on this MFM romance, and here is why. teddy.
I just absolutely fell in love with Teddy and EVERYTHING he had to offer Alice. I quite literally feel like Teddy save Alice and helped her blossom, not change but blossom into who she always was meant to be deep down.
The way the twins handled it….. ehhh not the best. But honestly we already knew from the prequel novella that Tristan, Jameson and Alice struggle to show what they want with words. When they all were finaly on the same page, for a little while I felt something was missing. Then their original spark was back and it was great.
This book is dark, and twisted and I may even say tragic. It took me on a mental rollercoaster and I had no idea what I would be doing next, smiling, scowling, laughing or crying. Especially crying. Everything that they all went through but in particular was Alice went through hurts a little harder.
I would definitely recommend reading but you really need to really the prequel novella Folie a duex first! Also please, please, please Check the trigger warnings they are hefty!
⚠️ dark violence, abu$e, ass@ult, dub/non-con, CNC mental health struggles and miscarriage ⚠️

“No one else will tell you this Alice, because people are always afraid to hurt someone who’s already hurting. But you will be okay. Someday, you’ll look back, and you won’t cry, and then you’ll know you made it. "
Unforgettable.
Alluring.
Pure brilliance.
This was darkness. This was beauty.
I don’t know what I was expecting , but it wasn’t this.
This SURPASSED every expectation I could have had. This is THE book I needed to fuel my addiction to dark romance for 2023. This book will keep you up at night. This book will undoubtedly be in your top 10 of the year . It will have your mind and heart not knowing which way is which, or which is right and which is wrong, but it won’t matter. This books brings out the secrets of right and wrong, but will make you love both the same, because without one you can not have the other.
This book will evoke every emotion out of you until your mind is a withering mess. This book is chaotic beauty, one I will forever recommend.
There are a TON of triggers in this book. I do not recommend going into this blindly, it will not be for everyone. But those of you who enjoy this type of dark romance, will devour this, as I did.
I’d give this 100 stars if I could.
Ruby - I hope you’re ready for my psych bill. 🥂

This book has broken me into peaces and then made me whole again. Twins for ever have my heart, BUT Teddy... My sweet 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘥. I am in love with him. That ending broke me into pieces. I was legit crying sayin 𝙉𝙤𝙤𝙤𝙤𝙤𝙤!!! out loud. And THEN...that epilogue.
Dear God. I am a mess that is all I am gonna say. Ruby you have destroyed me with this one, but you also made me into your fan for life. Now I know why everyone is obsessed with your books.
