dear lord - i devoured this book was i up till 3am to finish yes yes i was - the plot twist was incredible - their love my oh my - i loved every part it kept me on my toes - and the spiceee phew -- so good

I needed dark, unhinged, and way past morally gray MMC. This delivered on that not once, but three times! Thorne, Raven (Ven), and Kyron were all insane in their own individual ways and each had their own methods of inflicting pain (and pleasure). Even with their initial hatred though, none of them could avoid the pull Foxglove (Fox) noire had on them.

I loved the dynamic between the three guys and how two had an established *something* between them - always makes a why choose just a little sweeter when there's established mm in my opinion. It was pretty obvious though from the beginning that Fox was the perfect missing piece they didn't even realize they needed - the light to their dark.

Fox was both a badass but also seemed to crave the submissive side that she had been burying down deep. I liked how she eventually was able to give into that desire in different ways with each guy.

"I've become the monster's pet, who will happily stay put, even if the door to her cage is left wide open."

I loved that Kyron never hid his attraction to her - he was like the cinnamon roll psycho lol. Thorne was the "serious" one who held more secrets than he knew what to do with. & then Ven - oh man do I love this silent, haunted, psychopath! I wish we would have gotten more chapters from his POV to be honest, because the dynamic between him and each of the other main characters was great.

This is definitely a dark romance in terms of the MMC's actions and secondary story arc. While all three men are complete anti-heroes, we also learn the reason for their actions step from what they endured as kids.

Overall, this worked for the mood I was in, and I definitely recommend it to all my fellow dark romance, why choose fans. However, the ending felt a little rushed and for a decently size book - it felt like it could have used just a little more plot. Also, still think Fox was dumb to ever trust Thorne in the first place considering she had been on the run for years by then.

If you're new to dark romance or have any triggers, make sure to read the TW/CW from author - but yes, expect ALL the red flags.
