Publisher's Summary

Erika: His name is Michael Crist. My boyfriend's older brother is like that scary movie that you peek through your hand to watch. He's handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college's basketball team and now gone pro, he's more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than me.

Michael: Her name is Erika Fane, but everyone calls her Rika. My brother's girlfriend grew up hanging around my house and is always at our dinner table. She looks down when I enter a room and stills when I am close. I can always feel the fear rolling off of her, and while I haven't had her body, I know that I have her mind. That's all I really want, anyway.

Until my brother leaves for the military, and I find Rika alone at college. In my city. Unprotected. The opportunity is too good to be true. Because you see, three years ago she put a few of my high school friends in prison, and now they're out. We've waited. We've been patient. And now every last one of her nightmares will come true.

One of the best series I've ever read!

I haven't been so hooked on a series this long in forever.... I'm coming back to the first book to leave a review after reading all of them because I'm hoping whoever is checking this out will take my word for it that EVERY SINGLE book in this series is pure GOLD and tries them out !

The female narrator took a while to get used to , because she sounds quite nasally while trying to portray herself as a teenager / young woman.

The male narrator is fantastic , he is very animated(to the point where he truly yells when the character is yelling, to the point it's almost too loud) but I love it! You can feel his emotion as he gives it his all , and I feel like not a lot of narrators do that, so it's quite refreshing.

Definitely for an older audience, but that was exactly what I was looking for, so obviously I was over the moon . The plot is so unique and intriguing, it keeps you wanting to come back for more after every book !

I truly hope she keeps writing about this incredibly functional DISfuncional family for many more books to come ! 🙏 Definitely one of my top 3 favourite authors of all time.

Good :)

I like it but I think I’ll love more the others characters that we’ll see in the serie. The story of michael and Erica it’s good but can’t wait to see the others horsemans!

Unpredictable

I went through this in 2 days. The first half had me feeling impatient wanting to get to the plot. Spicy but in a dark and twisted way. Do not recommend if you get triggered by SA. Very impressed by the author and narrators.

Could not stop listening.

This book gave me anxiety and made me nervous but yet I could not stop listening to it. It had a choke hold on me from start to finish.

I’m not sure if I want to continue this series but I will 😐

Need to know what happens with Kai, Damon and Will.

Great story with a few twists !

I really enjoyed the story and the few plot twists she threw in kept my engaged through the entire book. I think she could have written the previous events in its own prequel to Michael and Erika’s story! Overall it’s a great listen!

Hot storyline

Very spicy and worth the listen if you’re into darker romance. I do feel like it had more potential and fell a little short by rushing to get to the conclusion, but the end was great none-the-less.

hmmm this was interesting.

100% trigger warning: SA in every way possible, close proximity, control, rape.... just all around do not read if you are not in a safe place!!!

Sooo to start I felt the narrators did a great job. The voices and dialect was great. I could really feel the emotions- tremors, tears, fear, ecstasy, despair, Innocents.... both narrators were clean & clear.

Onto the story,

I have discovered THIS is not my trope. I love authors like Natasha Knight who also do dark stories but this was very different in a way I can't quite figure out. It was very nicely put together- chronologically and yes there was past and present but it made sense you got a look into the past to make sense of the present and it flowed. Bang on that worked and I liked it. I will say with that that the first oh 12-13 chapters (1/2 the book) it was very slow and I was ready to call it quits but then it changed and hot damn chapter 15/16 got me hot and bothered between Rika & Michaels and that's where it really picked up speed and got steady.

I'm not excited for this book but I didn't completely hate it.

Would I re-read/ re-listen? No.
Will I continue the series? No.
Do I recommend it? really depends on your trope/genre/kink. it's definitely NOT for someone new to romance, romance suspense, kink book in any way. This is definitely something for someone who knows what they are in for.
Am I disappointed with this book? No. It's just not my thing and now I know. It just didn't do anything positive or negative for me.

So take what you will from this review. You have been warned, if you do listen , go in with a safe, open mind.
