What a book.... 
 OH MY WORD!!! Vicious is SUCH a JERK!! He's arrogant, selfish, unkind, cocky, VICIOUS and downright mean. I mean, he's absolutely horrible. 
 These people who I hated were my home. This place - my playground. 
 Then why, oh why, did I totally fall in love with him and his character and find him totally captivating and addictive? In fact that sums up how I felt about the whole book - I loved the characters, and the whole story was captivating, consuming and ADDICTIVE!! 
 I loved Emilia. She is brilliant, such a sassy character, and as much as Vic has hurt her, ruined her and destroyed her over the years, she still appears as strong and resilient against him. And as much as Emilia and Vicious hate each other there is also this terrible connection which is bound to destroy even more. 
 He was toxic, poison, and he was going to kill everything beautiful in my life if I let him. He was the storm to my cherry blossoms. 
 The story is told from a dual PoV, which I enjoyed, and also has flash backs to the past, 10 years ago and present day. It works really well and really helps with the build up to the story. 
 The storyline is complex with loads of twists and surprises. It's dark and raw and full jealousy, betrayal, lies and deception. I love books on the darker side and I love a strong a**hole hero!! 
 The chemistry, the heat and the passion in this story is electric and sets the story on fire. And I'm not just talking about in the bedroom, the passion and the hatred and the determination for revenge, burns off the pages throughout the whole story. 
 This book was amazing in it's entirety! I simply couldn't put it down and just had to keep turning those pages. I loved seeing Jamie again in this book too, and can't wait to see what LJ Shen brings us with Dean and Trent as well.
