About this listen

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!

Good

Good story, interesting plot that kept me listening to find out what happened/happens. Spicy scenes with cat and mouse vibes.

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.

I really wanted to love this.

Final rating ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Dark romantic suspense 3/5
Spice level ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Plot 4/5
I found the plot lackluster. I really really really wanted to love this book. The back and forth between present and past was a nice touch to keep you engaged, it just didn't have a great base. The plot twists were great, I just found by halfway through the book I just didn't care anymore to finish it.

Writing quality& nonrepetitive 3/5
Writing quality - A personality-flat young woman, and very distasteful enemy type man.
Nonrepetitive- not too repetitive to the point I vividly remember rolling my eyes.

I found corrupt fairly similar to credence where there wasn't too much repitition however, the basis of the books were similar in the sense of girl and mean guy. I'm beginning to wonder if it's an author thing?

Characters 3/5
I found each character very flat and surface level. There was no real depth to them.

Ending 3/5
HEA. But not a great one. It was predictable, I seen it coming from a mile away.

Backstory/world building 5/5
Penelope Douglas does an amazing job at really setting the scenes. You can close your eyes and be there as a fly on the wall. It's incredible how well she paints a picture.

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!
