The mystery was great as well. And the plot twist upon plot twist towards the end left me shocked. I did guess who James was early on. It was pretty obvious who he was, at least to me. But the other twists I had no idea about. And I was left shocked and surprised by it all. I was especially shocked by Jade in the end. What she did and was a part of surprised the hell out of me. But it only showed just how strong and powerful she really is.
The only complaint I have about this book is the fact there is just a general authors note about the content in this book. This book could be very damaging to someone if it got into the wrong hands without a more detailed and specific trigger list due to the type of content that is in this book. I really don't like that the author brushes this off saying that this is "her version of dark" and that the content is very dark without actually going into detail about what that dark content is. So I'm very disappointed by this fact.
Despite that, I did rate this book 5 stars, because I was thoroughly entertained and hooked from the beginning. I literally did not want to stop reading at any point. It was an absolutely amazing read.
I'd definitely recommend this, but only if I know the person I'm recommending it to can handle the content. And I'd always provide all the content warnings if I'm recommending it just in case to give them the option to opt out of reading it if they so choose.

It’s just not the same story from the beginning.
I think of it like the episode on teen titans win the Titans go to the parallel universe. Where Robin is sloppy and lazy, raven is happy go lucky, beast boy is very handsome, and cyborg is mostly human. That’s basically what this book gave me once I hit a turning point.
But it was still great, and I would recommend!

i feel like i’ve been reading soft books for a little while now so i wanted a change and something darker. out of all the titles on my KU tbr, this one stuck out to me and i thought it could be what i was looking for. and i was absolutely right. this book was DARK, idk what i was expecting this to be about but it certainly wasn’t what i just read.
i liked Jade and how strong she was even after all the absolute shit she’d been through. i liked Royce, even tho at times it did feel like he was a side character in a book where the title is his motorcycle club nickname. i was lowkey obsessed with Wicked from the moment we were first introduced to him, and i don’t hold anything against him bc that poor guy was just as much a victim as Jade and the others were.
i loved how kinda batshit crazy it got at the end with all the plot reveals and all the shit finally going down. my only problem was that it all happened so fast that it felt a little rushed, and some of the reveals ultimately felt like they came out of left field.
generally tho, i defo ate this book up and i was instantly hooked by both the plot and the chemistry between Jade and Royce.
