Rival by Penelope Douglas
5.0

I loved everything about this book. I had so many feels. Anger, sadness, butterflies, joy, and disgust just to name a few. Fallon and Madoc were so unexpected. This was definitely more edgy than Jared and Tate. As mentioned in the story their issues are more "mature". Their love is intense. I'm here for it and was cheering for them every step of the way.

Jax was a breakout character in this story. I was already curious about him, now I may be obsessed despite the fact that he's still such a mystery. So glad I dropped the coin for this series and even more pleased to learn that the new Hellbent series Penelope is working on is 6 books and a spin off from this one. So there's that. Yay!!!!!
