I have a secret love for forbidden romances between step siblings and foster siblings (I blame the Tearsmith!) This didn't disappoint.

I really like the characters and how they were developed. I also liked how mental health was represented with Malakai and his psychopathic tendencies and being selective mute. 
Olivia well just wow she may look like a princess and be treated like some barbie doll to be controlled, but she is one dark female!

The taboo romance, the sexual fantasies and smut was done so well and I like that even though for some it may be degrading etc that the author made everything always consensual and the characters always had a voice throughout. 

The only reason I didn't do 5 stars is the foster parents...

I don't know what's worse the dad hating malakai because of his condition and beating him. Or the mother who arranged Olivia to be married at 18, and to have her pay the blokes to have her daughters virginity taken. Don't even get me started on the ending either. 
At least the foster dad actually had his comeuppance and admitted his mistakes and learned from them and changed...
The mother, she needs to be gone.

I can't wait for book 2 to come especially with that interesting last 5 words. 
Hurry up!!!!
