First and most important, if you've read this book, I don't care who your book bae is. I just need you to know it's not Monster. I'm glad we could get that cleared up.

The Filth Kings is a story of redemption, lust, vengeance, and greed. Angel and her best friend Natavia are very different people. Angel comes from a wealthy family, and she has a successful blog. Natalia is an entrepreneur of sorts as well. Unfortunately, she has to split funds with a man who takes advantage of her. Their respective careers lead them into the hands of the Decebal family, where things get dark and dirty.
  This story checked off a lot of my boxes. There was a mysterious aspect that kept me turning pages. I loved the time Masterpiece took in creating the emotional development of the characters.  The four main characters felt very familiar. I was able to relate to their feelings, and there were moments when I WISH I could be feeling what they were feeling. The storyline is easy to follow, but the characters are so multifaceted that they add layers to the plot. I do wish the FMCs were as developed as the MMCs, and I felt the dialogue lacked continuity, but I am excited to see how this story grows.
