I'm not sure why, but when I first heard of this book, I assumed it was a reverse harem/why choose novel.
However, it is only a ménage.
That's not to say I didn't like it, I think I was just a little saddened to only see her with two guys.
I kept hoping for more to spring up for her to claim (or the two others she was in proximity to at least).
But that's a my bad because it does state in the blurb that it is a paranormal ménage romance (I should really get better about reading those blurbs).

Like I said, I heard about this book several months ago.
Probably when she first revealed the cover.
And I was super ecstatic about it.
I instantly added it to my TBR list and checked back with Amazon repeatedly to make sure I hadn't missed the release date.
Receiving an ARC of this story was a highlight of my day (I'm not kidding I was super excited when I saw the email with this and I read it immediately and without stopping).

First things first, trigger warning.
There is one in the blurb, but I always like to reiterate that in my reviews just in case some people are out there like me and don't read the blurbs, but will read a few reviews before starting a book (though I don't really read many reviews beforehand either-I'm more of an after person to see how other people's opinions line up with mine).
This story deals with sexual abuse, stalking, death, and violence.
There is also some intimate scenes, but nothing hard core-unless you think double timing is a bad thing.


I'm not going to lie, when I first started reading this I was kind of confused.
The story starts off in a dream state and talks about a horrific event that happened to Liza that caused her to run from her home and basically become a hermit.
She has made a couple of friends, but hasn't opened up to them about why she has moved to their small town.
You don't learn the significance about her nightmares until she finally opens up to her female friend.
When she meets Hottie McHotface (Kade James) she is instantly attracted to him (something that hasn't happened in a long time) but at the end of the night she feels like she makes a fool of herself due to a panic attack.
But when she runs into him several more times, along with his brother Parker-who she also feels extremely attracted to-their relationship builds and proves to be something far more than Liza ever realized.

The characters are amazing in this story.
It's told from multiple POV's-three to be exact.
And I love how she did the chapter headers to signify this.
Instead of using the name of the character (like most authors do when writing in multiple POV's), she uses pictures of the characters (the ones of the cover).
It was so fun seeing that.
And I loved seeing everything from the other's POV.
I think Kade is my favorite-but I always go for the bad boy, grumpy one in storylines.
They are my vice.

There was very little I found wrong with this.
One minor issue that is more of how something reads than a blatant problem.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait to see what else these characters hold in store for us.

Oh! One more thing.
This book ends on a cliffhanger-believe me I had some words with Poppy about it (love you girl!).
And it takes a twist I did NOT see coming whatsoever.


I highly recommend picking up this book.
It's a great debut novel from Poppy and I can't wait to see what else she has in the works.
