MK used to be a really good heroine in this regard but I don’t know what happened to her here. What? I don’t get it, she was literally just doing her job as a wedding planner, what the hell did she do to make you hate her so much? MK honestly just came across as being a bitch for no reason and it really irked me, because being an RH book doesn’t mean it’s okay for all other girls to be vilified so MK can feel superior. In this book, we have Alyssa, a wedding planner, who literally never does anything to MK, and yet we’re treated to a CONSTANT bitchy inner monologue about how sad and pathetic and cringy she is. Even Rachel, Steele’s dead twin, is slated for her crush on Archer and being jealous of MK, which I found horrifying coming from her own brother… poor Rachel. And then there was Kody’s ex-girlfriend who tried to drug MK. First we had Bree, who literally sold MK out back in Book 1 and then somehow got accepted back into the fold like nothing had happened. ❌ The way most other women are presented throughout this series is frankly appalling. This was a terrible time jump to do at that precise moment and it was so confusing.
What the hell? Tate James set up this big dramatic Book 3 conclusion and then immediately destabilised it, like she’d gotten bored of it, and we just learn in a throwaway paragraph that Steele got taken to hospital.
Then we got to Chapter 2… and suddenly she’s trying on wedding dresses?!?! I genuinely flipped back and forth wondering if my copy was missing pages. Example A: Steele was shot at the end of Book 3, right? So obviously, Chapter 1 of Book 4 is MK crying all over him and stuff. ❌ At the beginning, the chapters were really weird and all over the place. I’m just going to go through all of my points in chronological order, because I’m super disappointed and I don’t want to spend any more time thinking about this book than absolutely necessary. Cue lots of killing, etc, a painfully bad climax, and a weak ending. Madison Kate (MK) is still being stalked by a murderous psychopath, who wants to take out her men and have her all to himself. Wow, there are some depressing things in this book. Not to mention a whole host of other things which mean that, no matter how much I wish I could, I can’t in good conscience give this book 4 stars.
If a war is what it takes, then a war is what they’ll get. This is my life, dammit, and these guys are mine to keep. No matter how much I’ve fought it, hated it, been lied to or discovered the deceptions-I want them in my life. Hate fueled me, lies tore me apart, and in the end everything I thought I knew turned out to be fake.Įxcept… Riot Night also brought Archer, Kody, and Steele back into my life. I’ve been hunted, stabbed, stalked, tormented, and used. Coming back to Shadow Grove turned it on its head.
