The good- the author has a good command of the English language, the writing style is fluid and sophisticated and flows well.
The characters have complex backstories and there is a bit of a mystery at play with things that have happened in the past that keep you hanging on waiting to find out what happened.
If you like rough, dubious consent, punishing type spicy scenes you won't be disappointed.
The men are all tall and hot and handsome and protective and dominant and focused on the main female character.
It takes place in college, so college parties and football and drinking etc abound. Missing your youthful college days? Say no more.
There is a lot going on. College, mysterious trauma backgrounds, gangs, drugs, violence, poverty and wealth, vendettas, family drama, lies and half truths, etc... not a moment is boring.
Some of the characters are so well rounded and likeable you will hope they get their own book at some point or check to see if they already have one. I'm talking about you Luca and Leon lol
The bad (?)-
This would be purely based on my own preference but this book really walks the line between a regular romance novel and a reverse harem. Let me explain my reasoning. The main female character is beautiful, smart, decent etc... and virtually every male in this series feels affection/attraction for her. She is surrounded by protective alpha type males who all want her deep down. This would include a set of twins who she claims are her best friends since high school but behave like enamored, attentive, protective and slightly dominant boyfriends. Then several male roommates, a few others on the football team and even the "bad guys" the bully is connected with don't hesitate to not only protect and care for her, but say things alluding to their attraction to her. I personally am not a fan of reverse harem stories, especially when it's clear, no one wants to share... it reads at that point like a love triangle as well, a sad one, because like most love triangles, one person (or more) walk away broken hearted when they don't get chosen. It was uncomfortable bordering on difficult for me to see the anguish the twins clearly went through loving this woman...and it made it harder for me to like her because she was inadvertently using their love for her to provide herself with comfort and attention when she needed it, without really showing the same level of love back. It made her seem a little selfish and narcissistic to me on some level. If you love the whole multiple love interests angle, this won't bother you. But for me, it was distracting.
The ugly-
Nothing about this was horrible or would qualify as ugly. It's a dark bully romance so the expectation is that it's both dark and that she gets bullied. If you are easily triggered by things that fall under the dark romance umbrella, then this might not be the book for you. This is not a bully romance where by the 50% mark of the book the guy is remorseful and groveling to get her back. This isn't even a stand alone book, the bullying carries through the entire first book and most of the second. And even when he starts to evolve, he remains controlling, toxic and dominant in some ways.
Besides bullying there are some themes central to the story and supplying the reasons for why the characters are broken in various ways that are known for being very triggering for some people. Definitely look into that if you suspect it's important to know ahead of time.

About the author
Woooo
Oo get it together people!! Kane cannot catch a break! Ok yes, he’s an mean and his reaction at the end of book one was crazy but the guy genuinely tries this time. Yet it ends just like it started. Kane and Letty can be great together if they just sort their stuff out. And maybe talk before jumping to every conclusion...but they’re just college kids and yup, I was probably like that back then too haha I love that Letty sticks to her decisions, until she can’t. She doesn’t make it easy for Kane, but Kane’s stubborn and won’t take no for an answer. It’ll be interesting to see what book 3 brings because goodness, can we please get out from under Vic’s thumb!? And that ending!? It’s got to be wrong, please tell me it’s wrong.
