Would it be appropriate to just post tons of fire emojis here for you to understand how hot this book is? Because hot damn.
Just like with Punk 57, picking up this book was solely motivated by a very convincing friend of mine who devoured these books as if they‘re the oxygen she needs. Of course, after reading Punk 57, I was intrigued to read the books about the three mysterious men appearing at the end of the book but I was in no hurry, and truth be told, the blurbs didn‘t intrigue me as much. But sometimes one needs a little push in order to have a hell of a time. So at this place, I want to thank my friend for the push, and blame her for the person I‘ll become due to this series.
Despite the bully romance mentioned above, I haven’t really read anything that comes close to the Dark Romance subgenre, and therefore, didn’t know what to expect. But Corrupt is a hell of an addictive read that I managed to finish it in two days despite the fact that I wasn‘t even home, and mostly out and about. I sacrificed sleep for this, and I have no regrets. Sleep was simply the last thing on my mind when Michael and the boys were right there. The four Horsemen are so intriguing, I can‘t wait to read the rest of the series after getting so many good glimpses at them (though, I do wonder if I‘ll be able to end up liking Damon at this point). I loved the whole concept of them being some kind of privileged kids that put on some masks to go and wreak some havoc which ended up badly for three out of four. The fact that the first installement focused on Michael kind of allowed to still keep the mystery of his friends a secret, while he was trying all he could to avenge them sitting in jail for three years. And while I‘m not the biggest fan of flashbacks in books, I really loved how his past with Rika played such a big role into understanding why their relationship was so strained in the present. I really loved the suspense the plot brought along, keeping my emotions on an all-time-high. I was flying through these pages, devouring the chapters, and don‘t get me started on how hot it is. (May I remind you I just wanted to post fire emojis and be done with it?)
The only thing I wasn‘t the biggest fan of was how quickly Rika was ready to forgive and forget, and what it actually took for these two idiots (because they are idiots) to realize that them playing games is their freaking love language, and they should finally just give in and call them a thing. I would lie if I didn‘t say that I would have wished for some more scenes of them bonding, or sharing their experiences on an emotional level as it was mostly games between them.
Now I can‘t wait to get to Hide Away, especially not after that scene. (If you know, you know!) Honestly, I can already tell I‘ll sell my soul to the four horsemen.
And lastly,
