This one is dark and it made me cry in the first chapters because I felt Seven’s despair and self hate. When he enters the car of mob boss Caleb Spade, he changes the trajectory of his life if it is for the best or worse it is up for debate. 

Seven not only attracts the attention from Caleb but also from Caleb's enforcer Vortex and the hustler and army reject of Havoc. These three men are quite different and they don’t necessarily like eachother but they all have the well being of Seven in common so they learn to cope. And the way they cope is electric. 

All three alone build a relationship with Sevan, both physical and emotional. But it is when they are all together that the fireworks start and that Sevan’s mind finally settles down. 

Not only is Seven a multifaceted character with a dark past, but the same can be said about Vortex and Havoc. They both have things going on in their lives that I have a feeling will come back and bite them in the ass later on. TBH Caleb feels like the character with the most clear cut road ahead of him but who knows what will happen. 

As with any dark romances there are many ups and downs and they way that Adara Wolf and R. Phoenix oh so slowly but not fully revealing Sevens past is such a tease and it just made me incapable of putting the book down. 

The book has glimmers of hope but it is also dark AF.

This book ends with a HFN and I can't wait until the next book is released.
