November 13, 2022As fans wait for your book the whole year and end up giving us fillers. Hope this one is different and if you have no more to tell please end with this one without unnecessary dragging and messy side characters.

This was such a disappointment! I've read almost every Ivy Smoak book (except The Society 2 and Single Girl Rules) and she used to be a favourite but this series has just gone off the rails.
Why after twenty plus books in the same contemporary story world was Tanner introduced with whatever paranormal he is, plus Nigel?? It's entirely bizarre and honestly it's just ruined my enjoyment of this series and every series that interlinks with this one too.
When this book, and the last, focuses on Matt, Brooklyn and their relationship and the emotional aspects it's great, never fails to evoke an emotional response. BUT if you look at how much of the content actually focused on this it's laughable!
The problem is that Tanner and Nigel have hijacked this series and yeah some parts are mildly funny, but it's mostly annoying as fuck and makes me want to stop reading. It honestly comes across as a lazy way to explain away plot points that seem to have backed themselves into a corner - like oh I don't know how to resolve this, let's just have Tanner and Nigel do something crazy.
It was also really uncomfortable reading all their interactions with Jacob. I feel like this author has no clue what being a parent is like! There's this big emphasis that Brooklyn doesn't trust anyone with Jacob, not even nursery, yet she meets Tanner and Nigel and is immediately comfortable leaving her son with them unsupervised for lengths of time and letting them bathe him??? There is no way in hell a parent would actually do that, let alone one as protective and cautious as Brooklyn is portrayed to be!
I don't understand why this series is being dragged out so much. Books 1-5 were so, so good but books 6&7 have been frustrating - if you cut out all the bizarreness with Tanner and Nigel these two books could easily have been one! I also don't understand why there's yet another villain, like come on already, they've had everything but the kitchen sink thrown at them! It's completely unbelievable now...
I'm really not sure if I want to bother reading book 8, or really any other Ivy Smoak books, or if I just want to kinda fanfic the ending in my head 🤷🏻♀️

Empire expire exposed is the perfect name for this book considering it has grown men exposing themselves infront of children. I am so disgusted with this book, I think the fact that Brooklyn after being so paranoid and cautious with Jacobs safety would just allow him to be left with random strangers. The fact that Nigel cuts rose heads of with a machette on their first interaction and makes sexual referrences throughout the book and Brooklyns like yeah i hope he likes me. He drugs and sexually assaults people and the characters and Ivy treats this as a joke. This book needs a trigger warning !What the actual f@#k! I am one hundred percent sure that Ryan wrote this book along with the others after betrayal. This is not Ivys writing style at all. I couldn't tolerate single girls rules and now its being shoved down our faces in the empire high series too seriously author it's time to step back and smell the coffee. Take the laptop back and refocus. You're a talented author but you are ruining your series. I also don't like how you had Brooklyn taken after being groped naked and tied up knowing Matt will blame himself again as he left her alone vulnerable. But the biggest thing i don't like is how you and your arc team bully people who dont leave 5 star reviews and have honest opinions. You remove and block people from your social media groups for not agreeing with your writing. Then set your minions on their reviews. I have never ever witnessed any other author treat their readers this way. I hope you finally see this is wrong and change the way you treat your readers but i won't hold my breath considering you did this after Matchmaker too in the spoiler room. Please realise when you write books everyone will have an opnion and just because they dont love it doesnt mean its personal against you as a person. What is ugly is the way you treat people who pay money to read your books

Ivy, Ivy, Ivy, I’m so beyond disappointed in the way this series went. I have been DYING to finish this out and find out how Matt and Brooklyn end up. But this book absolutely ruined the entire series.
Nigel and Tanner are over the top and just make the whole story incredibly uncomfortable. Brooklyn is a horrible mom for even laughing at literally anything Nigel does, it’s perverted and frankly disgusting. This competition he has with Jacob to be the “cutest boy in the room” is beyond inappropriate and borderline p*do behavior. He was way too excited to bathe a 4 year old. Any half way decent mother would see that, why is she just brushing it off?
Why are you focused so much on Tanner and Nigel through this story? And how come it takes her literally 3 weeks after Miller dies to take off her rings and be all in with Matt? A little short after losing the man you have been with for the past 15 years, don’t you think?
The 1 star reviews are right, this story was rushed and poorly written. This story was filled with side character plots that did not need to be in there. It’s also filled with a lot of stuff that doesn’t need to be in it, like the whole entire entrance to the “prom” could have been left out
Over all. I’m incredibly annoyed that I was so excited for this book and it turned out to be such a huge disappointment. I would like to petition for a rewrite and focus ONLY on Brooklyn and Matt. And not rush it.

Picking up right from the cliffy we were left dangling on in Homecoming, Exposed takes us on an emotional ride as Brooklyn and Matt struggle to come to grips with all that’s transpired over their years apart.
I was so happy to finally see them reunited, but it was bittersweet recounting all they’d each been through and what they’d missed. Watching Matt with Jacob made my ovaries explode. Brooklyn still makes me roll my eyes. And the antics of Tanner and Nigel, I have no words because I’m still wheezing.
Knowing there was going to be another cliffy and reading it are two totally different things!! Ha ha! I’ve loved this world and the characters, but I am so ready to see Mattlynn get their happily ever after.

I’m giving this 2 stars and tbh I feel that, that is being generous. How a series that I used to love has fallen so much. I loved the original 3 books and have enjoyed the majority of Ivy’s earlier works. Her recent work has been so far removed, I can see why a number of people are questioning if she is even writing these books.
The pros:
They were few and far between, but we did, finally get to see Mattlyn. Although it was unbelievable how quick they resolved their issues, we finally got what we wanted in their relationship.
It was fast past, unlike the previous 3 books. So that was good.
On the cons:
There were a lot, so this may take a while 😂
My biggest issue, and I assume most like minded peoples was the pedo elements. A man should not be exposing himself to a 4 year old child. That same man should not be excited to bathe with that 4 year old. While I’m the bathe with said 4 yr old, sensuality should not be discussed. It shouldn’t be discussed at anytime but especially not then.
This is the 3rd separate occasion in this series that grooming has been an issue. I find it absolutely disgusting. I’ve read books that cover very serious and dark topics. Books with pages of TWs. Never have I read something that makes fun of child abuse.
The next major problem with this book, is the constant addition of Nigel and Tanner. Who the hell os finding them funny? Dire!
Where were all the original characters? Even when they were in it, they didn’t have the same personality as they once did.
The ending?! It’s flogging a dead horse now at this stage. There was no need for it.

EDITED TO ADD
Since I voiced my very minor opinion on the necessity of Nigel’s character on a FB group page I have since been removed and blocked..perhaps those honest reviews you were after Ivy, isn’t what you really wanted??
MY REVIEW..
Honest review..when I got to the end of this book I was happy, elated, ready to scream & shout FINALLY!! We got there..we got the Mattlyn reunion and reconnection we’ve been yelling for since #puddinggate..
Then I had time to process and I find myself asking..what the hell did I just read??
Do i love that we got Mattlyn?? Hell yea! But I feel like these books have taken such a huge turn from books 1-3 that I honestly don’t know which way is up.
The book felt so rushed. I mean Miller literally died 3 weeks beforehand and it’s only taken 6 days for Brooklyn and Matt to fight it out, fall in love with their new selves, move in and get engaged?? I mean really? Throw in Kennedy who hasn’t had sex since cupcake and thought she was in love with Matt, have 1 official date with felix, shag him, start looking at properties together and knows she’s going to marry him??
Why the rush?? Because it needs to fit in with society?
Kennedy is certainly not a favourite of mine but she literally got 2.5seconds of space in this book, the untouchables not as much time as I would of liked..I mean the story is called Empire High right?? They make up a large part of the EH world from the originals and we got snippets here and there?
My biggest upset with this book is the inclusion of Nigel and Tanner and the roll on effect that has with so many key parts of this story. Nigel is just weird and unnecessary and perverted. He serves no purpose to the storyline, unless the purpose is to annoy readers. He’s not funny and the constant need to throw him in to everything has really held this series back from being great.
Take the moment in the painting room with Matt & Brooklyn, him appreciating her body and all it’s gone through, surgeries, baby etc, hot sex, them loving each other and connecting with Matt’s paintings over the years to turn around and have it tainted by creepy Nigel spying on them, hang the painting up where Brooklyn actually said no to, him take the under sheets, make copies, build a door between houses and then perch up naked with his huge penis out on the kitchen bench in front of Jacob & want his portrait done?? And Brooklyn finds that funny and of no concern? What happened to fierce mumma bear with trust issues??
That beautiful moment was spoiled by Nigel and it’s not the only one. I wanted a love story and I got weird creepy Nigel ruining it.
This book was called exposed, apart from Matt finding out where she has been..nothing was exposed..
I will finish the series and read 8 when it comes out but with the way Ivy’s writing has changed from the brilliance in Hunted/EH 1-3 to what we’ve read so far in 4-7, I don’t hold much hope on what’s to come..

I absolutely loved this book. I won't spoil it, but this book makes my heart happy. Ivy always knows how to suck me in, in her books. I have wanted a Matt story since reading about him in The Hunted series. Matt had always been one of my favorites, so when Ivy wrote the Empire High series, I was so excited. Ivy, you never disappoint! 💛💛

1. Matt and Brooklyn did not get their happy ending again (😱)
2.Another cliffhanger (😱)
3. More people to the story that just don’t make any sense and give zero to the progress only creepy vibes (😱)
4.Another book (😱)
I respect the work that the Author had put in this book and any other and normally I do not rate 1 star or write a negative review BUT come on.
What started great now is making no sense. No plot,is just like she writes what comes to mind at the moment and has no idea how to end it so she just writes and writes all the drama and puts some steamy scenes in as well to keep the story going.
As for today I don’t really care how the series will end because let’s face it, Matt and Brooklyn will be 80 and they will still not be together and we will be in book number 30.
Stop with the dramatics and the unnecessary plot twists you have ruin the books and the story.
I write the above with respect 😊

Oh my goodness.. Where do I start?! What an unbelievable read 😍 This book is by far my number 1 fave in the Empire High Series so far, we get all the Untouchables back together again like old times, (minus wizzy 😂 ) and now they have their wives and children... And now it's Matts turn to get his HEA. But does he get it?! Well we still don't know... And that's what I loved about this book! Ivy has outdone herself, Tanner and Nigel were just the usual over the top weird, i loved Tanner before, he makes me laugh just as much as Rob, but i did love him a little extra in this one 😍 i cant wait for EH8, Its gonna be a long wait... But next time when Mr Pruitt calls, someone answer the phone!!! 🙈😂 So deserves more 5 stars ✨

Exposed was everything and more! I read it in one sitting because I could not put it down. Absolutely beautiful! Ivy you killed it 💜

Finally a book written with a plot. It’s about time. The last three books have been so boring but this one actually interested me. It finally gave us answers we have been waiting on, Matt and brooklyn finally have the talk we’ve all been waiting on. You actually get somewhere in this book. I can’t stand the Nigel character he is disgusting and a pervert and he and tanner don’t fit into the empire high world. I don’t really care for them and their weird storyline. If I wasn’t so invested in finding out what happens with Matt & B I would completely abandon this series due to the inappropriateness of Nigel. Also Brooklyn is supposed to be such a great mom and yet her child eats cupcakes constantly which is really odd because no normal parent wouldn’t go insane from the hyper behavior the child would have. Brooklyn was honestly such an airhead around Nigel that it sounded insane, why would she let some weird guy around her child that she doesn’t even know? Stupidity. I honestly wish she would just go back to her old way of writing with keeping the EH series normal. That being said every other part of this book with the untouchables and Brooklyn and her friends was exactly what I’ve been waiting on. Matt and Brooklyns connection is just as strong in the first 3 books and that’s what I have been missing. The cliffhanger is killing me, I swear I just need a happy ending and for it to stop being dragged out. Thanks for the ARC

Nigel and Tanner hijacked the series and completely ruined the whole thing.
Go back to your own damn series.
Did the author really write this disgrace or did her husband? 🙄🙄
I could go on and on (like this series) but I’m not here to drag out this review. It was terrible.

Good, but wasted potential.
I enjoy Ivy and her writing...but EH has really lost the flavor it had in book 1-3.
First...why is this book only 6 days long??
The story flowed and you did get the two main characters together. But the story was still lacking things that needed to be addressed.
Original characters were put more on the side lines. Rob and Mason could have brought the comedy needed. Nigel and Tanner don't need to be above them to make a scene more funny.
A person who just lost her husband and doesn't trust people, is way to trusting to two people she knows nothing about.
The short time period wasn't necessary. Saturday and Sunday could have been drawn out a few days. This whole book could of been 3 weeks for them to get to know each other again. 6 weeks even...
For a book that was supposed to expose so many things, it didn't. Just two adults finally having the conversation they needed to have. More mentions of the contracts, but no one reads them.
The cliffhanger we were left with, was unnecessary.

Alright…. 50% of the way in and I have officially lost interest. skimmed to about 68% in and now i’m out. monster dong? with a 4 year old standing there? no thank you.
brooklyn & matt are either arguing or having makeup sex, and constantly being overshadowed by tanner & nigel. why are these two characters even in the series?
brooklyn’s husband just died… and is already saying i love you to matt? getting engaged? like a few weeks later? also, how is kennedy getting over matt so fast realistic?
idk, there’s so much wrong with this book. it’s so disappointing, especially with how much potential there was & how good the first three books were.
i said i’d trust that justice would be brought to these characters after everything they’ve been through, but i’m not sure anymore if that will happen. trial after trial gets a little old.
& in my review of the book before this, i said i had to finish the series since i’ve made it this far. but i honestly should’ve just stopped, since this book is just further tainting the whole series for me 🥴
& since i haven’t technically finished this book and read spoilers on how it ends… ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER? SERIOUSLY?
also, NIGEL IS BATHING WITH A FOUR YEAR OLD AND BROOKLYN IS JUST OK WITH IT?
whole book needs a trigger warning. just not ok.
last thing…. reading how the author treats her readers who don’t agree with her on this book? hate it when authors (really ANYONE), can’t take feedback and learn from it and just resort to blocking & sending other people to defend them instead of just dealing with it themselves.
apologies this review is all over the place, its 3am and i cannot sleep. i’m just writing this all down so i don’t forget…. but these are my honest thoughts & opinions.
with my DNFing of this book, i am officially closing the door on Empire High.

3.5⭐️ I loved this series and the heartache and emotional journey we’ve gone on, but I honestly feel like we’ve regressed here.
Ivy is a great author but this book I feel like didn’t showcase it like her others.
Nigel is heavily featured and it’s very cringeworthy and I don’t enjoy his character. He makes everything seem like a joke and the characters thoughts and feelings afterwards don’t match with the way they were in other books. I know Nigel is a shock value character, but it’s too much in my opinion. He was in too many scenes and doing things that were just gross and weird. It made parts of the story almost unbearable.
Things with Matt and Brooklyn happen very quickly (which is fine because they were in love before) but like girl, your husband just died, take a breath.
The ending was surprising in what happened because wtf is gonna happen now?
Even though I disliked all the Nigel stuff, I still love Brooklyn and Matt’s story and can’t wait to see how it ends.
This is an honest ARC review.

Amazing book!! Cannot wait for the next!!

It was just ok
I’m honestly kind of bummed. I loved the Hunted series and Men of Manhattan. So well written and with the interconnected characters. I started out really loving the Empire High series with the drama and the cliffhangers, but I really feel now that the author is having such a hard time letting go of the characters that she’s stretching this series out to the point it’s become too long and absurd with the Tanner and Nigel magical nonsense that doesn’t fit, and were randomly introduced into the middle of the series out of nowhere. They have their own series I think Ivy should have kept them in that genre for those that are into that kind of story. The last 4 books have all been way too short but at the same time drawn out fillers. I really struggled through this one and I’m happy in knowing Matt and Brooklyn end up back together but I think I’m done with this author. Not really looking forward to any more.

I feel like I committed myself to this book series to see it through but I doubt I’ll read any after this. The writing has become poor and the main characters whiny immature brats (to put it lightly). The author is finding the silliest of ways to drag out the series. Just let them finally have a happily ever after - stop adding stupid “plot twists” actually make them act like adults instead of having the reactions of spoiled 16 year olds to real life adult problems.

I want to start out by saying that I live and breathe this Empire High Series. After falling in love with the Untouchables in the Hunted series, I have become Obsessed with Matthew and Brooklyn's story. I will be honest, the first 5 books were a rollercoaster climb that came with lots of love, loss and growing. Empire High Homecoming book 6, let me breath a little but still on that climb until those final chapters. This book is really titled exposed for a reason. I felt that rollercoaster drop that I had been thirsting. Instead of closing my eyes and waiting for probably under a minute, this one took more time (years). I said that Empire High Homecoming was everything I ever wanted but did not know I did, well this book IS EVERYTHING I HAVE WANTED since I finished The Untouchables. This book confirmed I have probably been Team Matt more than I wanted to admit. Matthew Caldwell and I were one in our thoughts about what life has evolved into for Brooklyn. My heart feels healed (for now). I loved the character interactions and some new(ish) reunions and friendships. The love and bond between these characters makes me want to live in their world. After a rough day, I would love to hang out with Penny, go to dinner w Daphne and more..... If I could give this book 20 stars, I would because it was extremely satisfying. I hope the little hiccup at the end is a quick fix in the series' grand finale. If you have read this series you probably are not reading this review because I know you are hooked. If you have not read this series, I recommend starting with the Hunted Series (reading order on Ivysmoak.com) so that you can become invested in these characters like I have. I do not want the end to come, but I do need to know how this story ends. Matthew Caldwell and Brooklyn deserve their happily Ever After! Then, I cannot wait to read about the next generation #TeamJacob!!!! I was blessed to have received an advanced reader copy of this book from Literally Yours PR.

Very anti-climactic story between Matt and Brooklyn. Some of the scenes were a little cringy and cheesy. The banter just….weird. She tried to go a little BDSM with Matt and Brooklyn and it just didn’t work. And I don’t know how I feel about Tanner and Nigel lol
The ending was unexpected and completely came out of left field but left an opening for Book 8 so we shall see where the next story goes!

2.75⭐️ I have so many thoughts about this book. And yet, I don’t even know what to say…
April 13, 2023
Too many books.

Spoilers Ahead
I feel like I must have read a different book than all these 4 and 5 star reviewers seem to have read. The only thing that really got "Exposed" in this book was Nigel, and it definitely wasn't sexy. What happened to all our alpha male Untouchables who now seem very comfortable with each other seeing their spouses nude, tied up spread eagle to end tables, etc? Have they all become best friends with Chastity? Parts definitely read more like SGR than the original Hunted or Empire High Series. I was seriously waiting for the glass key bowl at their ridiculous sex club prom! a ball pit and slides in formal gowns? Is it prom or a kid party?. I have to wonder if most Mattlyn fans were just so starved for some Mattlyn together content, they skimmed most of the "need a trigger warning" Nigel scenes. Brooklyn has lived in a bubble, in hiding from people that want to hurt her for 16 years, yet we are supposed to believe she was more worried about Nigel liking her than the fact he snuck into her house with a machete to cut up roses? Not "What the hell are you doing in my home!?" But "maybe Jacob poked him with a stick, I hope he will still like me? Give me a break! It's obvious this author is NOT a Mom... This book has definitely found my hard limit, and it's naked toddlers placed in situations surrounded by sexual innuendo.
I was always team #Mattlyn, although I did like Miller, their relationship came off pretty stockholme syndrome and even inappropriate. Brooklyn was only 16 to Miller's 22. The problem is we were told the story of this "written in the stars" love in Runaway, yet within 6 weeks, she's basically engaged and their Son is telling Matt he loves him and Matt is talking adoption. It's just too much, too soon, and therefore, completely takes away from Miller and Brooklyn's love story. I know many found Miller's letter to be very emotional, but I just had a hard time buying he would want her with Matt. He hated Matt and had absolutely no respect for who he was as a person. Since that letter is the excuse to make the short timeline all ok, it just cheapens all of it for me... Brooklyn and Miller's love story seems tarnished when his "wife" and Son are able to move on to another man six weeks after watching him blow up and burn. As much as I have waited and WAITED for #Mattlyn, the timeline makes it fall flat. I know she needed to rush it to make it fit with the spoiler in Tanner's novella for TSSP, but why? She didn't need to have them married. People would have still bought the book just to read Matt had "started" dating his soul mate. I'm also in the minority that really disliked Nigel's behavior in this book. It was creepy and totally unneeded. He isn't a 4 year old boy, he's some kind of Paranormal sexual predator, skulking around watching people have sex, drugging Matt so he can bathe him and laying around with his trunk out in front of naked toddlers. I don't know why all of her books are beginning to sound the same, and now Tanner and Nigel have been added to the Hunted series as well... I personally cringed when Brooklyn was kidnapped naked, tied up, and groped... Hasn't she been through enough? This, TSSP, and definitely the SGR books seem to have been written by another author. I have also read a scene very similar to the paint scene in another author's book.
In this author's quest to continue writing her "spiciest book ever" I feel she doesn't understand when a hard f@#k is the way to go and when the scene calls for a more reverent, sexual experience and this also detracts from their love story imo.
This series has turned into such a hot mess and seems to have completed deveated in tone from the original, Hunted, Men of Manhattan, and first 3 books of Empire High.
I LOVED Brooklyn, and now it's hard to really like her much. I can overlook a lot, especially with the trauma the poor girl has constantly been through! But I just feel there is no way the girl from the first 3 books would be so careless with her son. Even the "cuppycakes" became annoying.. Baths with strange men talking about their "trunk" telling him to speak to his Mom in "the most sensual language" (and Jacob knew he meant French) just no.
Pros: Mattlyn and Brooklyn are finally together even though it doesn't make a lott of sense to happen in 1 week with everything that happened in the other books.
Kennedy had to give up.
Cons: missing trigger warning for sexual assaul. Yes, it's assault when someone roofies you, so they can get you naked in the bath against your will.
Nigel's disgusting voyeurism and inappropriate behavior in front of a naked child
Kennedy's insta romance. It was pretty clear in the first 3 books that Felix only saw her as a kind of friend. which only happened AFTER he wanted to date Brooklyn. Now we should forget that was in the books, so that 16 years later, their insta relationship after sex on the first date makes sense. Oh, and Kennedy says she never has sex on a first date. I guess Matt eating the kitty in an elevator that wasn't even really a date didn't count 🙄
Brooklyn and Matt's rushed relationship with Brooklyn being ready to completely move on 4 to 6 weeks after Miller burned up.
Brooklyn never sought medical advice as to why she kept having miscarriages and just assumed she couldn't have any more children.

“Just your classic Hunters Sanders mess around.”
THIS. THIS book is what I needed!!!!!
I cried happy tears, I cried sad tears- but this book was the warm hug I needed so badly after Homecoming.
This is a second chance romance, that for me, tops all second chance romances.
The paint, the acts of service, the love, SEEING MATTHEW FREAKING CALDWELL HAPPY!
Not to mention, we have reached the final cliff hanger of Empire High! **cue the tears** I’m so not ready to say goodbye to them. I’m truly not. Thankfully we have second gen to look forward to!!
Also- I still have absolutely no idea what or who Tanner is. B handled Nigel like a pro though.
I’ll be updating this review on release day!

OMFG!!!!! Ivy girl you seriously brought it with book 7!! I’m over the moon happy about every last second of this book. As soon as this hit my library I devoured it in hours! I’ve been waiting and waiting for this since book 3! Books 4-6 had me wanting to throw my phone and scream at times, but not book 7. Nope. It was EVERYTHING I wanted and more. And I actually didn’t walk away hating Kennedy! I liked her- imagine that! I think Matt showed serious growth in this book and was more mature about things. And as always Tanner was the voice of reason and I loved Nigel and his crazy personality- the discussion with him and Brooklyn about his p€ñ!s when he was naked on her counter had me laughing! OMG I was dying of laughter when it came to Nigel.
That’s all I can say because I don’t want to give spoilers away! But I promise you’ll love it, you’ll laugh a lot and definitely maybe have a few tears in your eyes- GOOD ones though! Thank you Ivy! I seriously love you for how you wrote this book. I’ve been waiting- very impatiently (lol) for this. Now I need book 8! But I can wait patiently because you delivered everything with book 7! And I know, even after this jaw dropping cliffhanger book 8 is going to be epic!

By far my favorite in the series. I’ll come back after release to update with more details, but Ivy killed it with this one. The plot was *chef’s kiss*. Everything I don’t know I needed. I laughed. I cried. I screamed. It was amazing. I can’t wait for the next but it will do be worth it! Well done Ivy!

My favourite series (both Hunted and EH) have been ruined by the addition of Nigel and Tanner. Why add a supernatural being into a billionaire series. Make it make sense 😭
The worst thing ivy did was write the society. Until then I had read every single book she had written and she was one of my favourite authors. However this new direction she is going in is not for me. Keep Nigel and Tanner to the society and the awful single girl rules. I tried to read these as I was on ivys street team I really really really tried but they are the worst thing I’ve ever read
Even the last hunted book penny acted like ash. This book was supposed to be about mattlyn not about a houseboy that watches mattlyn have sex and then has a bath with a 4 year old child
So even after all these books I cannot finish the EH series. I cannot read another word about Nigel he makes my skin crawl. I think it’s supposed to be funny it’s not. And sooooo many people think the same. Problem is Ivy is blocking people and throwing them out of street teams etc if they say anything negative about this book. Censorship at its finest.

I will always love Ivy’s books because the way she can make you feel and this book doesn’t disappoint
Exposed was everything I wanted and needed and so so much more. I was so choked up with emotions reading this, I cried sad tears, I cried happy tears, I smiled and laughed.
Brooklyn and Matt’s journey had been an incredible rollercoaster and honestly this book just does exactly what it needs too.
I’m a no spoiler kinda girl so you won’t get much from me but all I can say is the definition of perfection = exposed
