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.

So dark!
I read this book initially but as the series progressed I lost track of all the twists so decided to listen to it again on audio. The story is deliciously dark and twisted and certainly this is the type of book that draws me in. Once where you really don't know which direction the author is going to take the story and enough shocks along the way to keep your attention.
These pair of narrators deliver a clear and precise audio making it easy to fall into the story just as much as if you were reading!

Could be triggering for some. Overall alright
Very dark and high on the darker kink side of things. Some of it enjoyable to listen to, some cringeworthy

Great read
Really enjoyed this book. Great to listen to although you need to actively listen or you might get mixed up as it is across two different times (3 years ago and present).

Great story but….
God storyline, but I didn’t feel like the female narrator had the spirit and energy that the female protaganist was supposed to have. It felt weak at certain points In the story.
Overall a great and Spicy story.

Good story
There's a lot going on, and it makes it a bit hard to follow. The story isn't a good romance. If you like romance, I probably wouldn't bother. Michael arranges a plan for him and his friends to use her as a sex slave. Even after he realises he has feelings for her, he still shares her with another guy. And they terorise her wearing masks. It's not really my thing, but the book passed the time. Probably wont continue the series, though.

It’s alright.
In the beginning, until about chapter 6, I thought the book was a 0-1 star book, I wasn’t sure I could finish it before then. When I got to chapter 16-17 it started to really pick up and I thought 2 stars. But the last 7 chapters pushed it to 3. Then I’ve sat here writing this review and really thinking about the story, the characters, the plot and I’m wondering if it could be a 4? If I change my mind, I’ll have to come back and change it!
This book has been recommended so many times recently so I thought I’d give it a go. I think that’s why I didn’t enjoy it much though as I had such high hopes… And perhaps I’ve become a little desensitised as some of the stories I’ve read recently have been so pitch black they’re banned.
The story is good, but by chapter four I’d already worked out who did it. It’s overly descriptive to the point that I was forgetting the plot and even the names of the characters - none of which was helped with the time jumps. When it got going (around chapter 16-17) it was good. I understood what Penelope Douglas was aiming for but didn’t feel any anxiety, fear, or worry as you normally would with a suspense, I just felt annoyed that Erica and Michael (and even the other horsemen) could be that dumb. The amount of times the characters pinched their eyes together bugged me but that’s probably just because I’m not a fan of the phrase and it seemed to happen every few sentences at one point.
The narration was annoying. Usually with duel perspective book and two narrators I would expect some interaction, but not here. Tatiana Sokolov does most of the book as it’s from Ericas’ perspective, and she didn’t really seem that into the story. I didn’t think much to her male voices and think that the audiobook would have been far better if she narrated Ericas’ perspective and did the female voices throughout, and Jeremy York narrated Michaels’ chapters and did the male voices throughout. Jeremy York seemed to have a bit more feeling for the story but again I didn’t like his female voices though they were better than Tatianas male ones.
I might re-read it as I liked the overall story once it got going, but I think I would read rather than listen to it as sometimes it was confusing as to whether something was said aloud or inside the characters head, and I could skip the over descriptive bits.
SPOILERS:
Okay, basically Erica and Michael have fancied each other forever and three years ago on ‘devils night’ when he and his friends went out ‘pulling pranks’ (like burning buildings down), they took Erica. The police get evidence of some of the crimes and three out of the four horsemen go to jail.
When they get out they want revenge on the woman who put them in jail, and all four horsemen try to systematically destroy her world…
If I do re-read it I could try to read it in a more linear fashion as the chapters from three years ago are (E=Erica M=Michael) E2, E5, E8, E10, E13, M17, and the ones from the present are E1, E3, M4, E6, M7, E9, E11, M12, E14, E15, M16, E18, E19, M20, (E21past), E22, E23, M24, E25, E26, E27, M28, E29, M30 (epilogue). As long as chapter E21 (3 years ago) and E22 (Present) are read together in the present it should work. I did a lot of annotations for this book as I kept getting confused.
To me, this was mid grey, with random veins of black and a few purple (as in crazy) bits thrown in. There’s a few sexy bits which are well described but not as many as people who were recommending the book implied. There’s violence, on and off page, and threats. Just what you expect from a book labelled dark romance.
!Big Spoiler! If like me you need to know if they have a happily ever after, that’s affirmative.
