What is it with Australian RH authors ending their books with cliffhangers?? First Tate James and now E.J. Campbell...I'm lodging a formal complaint.
In all seriousness, WOW this was so on the mark. I saw quotes from Forget Me Twice posted by The Book Spice and I immediately downloaded it without even reading the blurb. ZERO regrets.
It is a fast read, it only took me less than 24 hours to burn through this one, and while it was tough trying to keep everyone's name straight, I was glued to the story.
Sabine Winters is a mess. She is found on the streets living as a pickpocket by The Grey Man, who is some gangster leader who decides to use her savant-like eidetic memory skills to his advantage. Because of these skills and some damaging psychological training Sabine received from Sebastian, she has a lot of issues and is an adrenaline junkie, a drug addict, and is a constant state of "let's see how I can mess up my life today." She has no sense of self-preservation and really no person should trust her to handle anything on her own.
Regardless of all of that, I think she's great...damaged as hell, but great all the same. I love a flawed character, and I really hope that she ends up going through a character redemption arc...in the way that it makes her more empathetic to her men, not so much that it changes who she is as a person.
Also - the men....I'm so wildly confused who will be in her "harem" because there are a LOT of players here. I counted at least 8 possibilities between the original Crew: Jax, Rhett, Knox, & Foster...though for them my only contenders would be Jax and Rhett; and the Pantheon: Tristan, Callum, Lake, & Atlas. To make matters more confusing, about 60% of the way through, Sabine gives them all Greek God style nicknames: Tristan is Apollo, Callum is Ares, Lake is Hermes, and Atlas is Hades. Even Rhett gets Dionysus as his nickname and creates a secret one for Jax (IYKYK). Don't get me wrong, I think it's fun - but it's confusing as hell.
And the spice....holy hot jambalaya, I'm HERE for this group. Rhett being into the primal play kink, Tristan is obv a Dom Daddy, and Lake is the perfect submissive psychotic simp. Give me more PLEASE.
I need my questions answered and there are a lot of them so I cannot wait for book 2 to come out.
