Summary
 Dead girls don’t feel pain. But they like the taste of vengeance. Maybe that’s why I came back to my hometown. Because it sure as hell wasn’t for the surf. But what else was I supposed to do when I found myself in Sunset Cove with twenty bucks to my name, the key to my enemies’ secrets hanging around my neck and a mouth full of grave dirt that wouldn’t wash clean? I hate the Harlequin boys.But this is the perfect opportunity to take what they owe me. Because once upon a time, they broke my heart, stole my life and sent me away from everything I’d ever known. Fox, JJ, Chase, and Maverick. The four names tattooed onto my heart more permanently than any of the ink on my skin. They don’t just live in this town anymore, they rule it. And the view here may be beautiful, but the sun, sea and sand hide dark secrets. The gangs. The lies. The violence. It all lurks beneath a veil so thin that once you’ve seen through it, you can never close your eyes to the truth again. But I don’t plan on closing my eyes. I have four devils set in my sights. And this dead girl no longer has anything to lose. This is an enemies to lovers contemporary series where the girl will end up with multiple love interests and all of the characters are in their late twenties. Trigger warning: This series features gangs, violence, dark romance, and jealous/possessive themes.©2020 Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti (P)2022 Caroline Peckham, Susanne Valenti Contemporary Romance Romantic Suspense Women's Fiction Suspense Fiction Heartfelt

+18 Bully Romance

- light mafia vibes
- second-chance romance (childhood best friends turned bullies)
- reverse harem MMMMF
- bully vibes
- heartbreakingggg
- forced proximity
- strong fem lead

This book has me hooked even though I hate bully romances and the possesive vibes Fox gives is out right annoying as shit but I still want to know how things work out at the end.

Audio - well narrated.

Fun, steamy, second-chance romance +18 RH

The amount of times the reader says the word flesh literally made me want to rip my hair out.
It was basically just an angry “protagonist” who has very little personality other than her being horny and angry.
There’s only one semi decent character and even he’s insufferable. This book was truly a waste of my time as it romanticised abuse all while under the guise of the “who hurt you” trope while simultaneously hurting the MC.
Like legit. One of the love interests breaks her viberat-r because he was jealous.
But if you really like anything by Anna Todd, you’d probably like this.

Guys are basically sociopaths and you’re supposed to like them

the story was ehhh
the characters were ehhh
so much inner dialogue that it stopped being fun.

I'm a huge fan of the authors but I just couldn't get behind this one... it could have been 100 pages.
