So I am back and forth with the Psychos addition to the Saint View universe. I’ll start by saying I am grateful that Bliss went through MAJOR growth and stopped being such a naive pushover. I won’t lie at first, Bliss annoyed the hell out of me. I understand the power of gaslighting and emotional manipulation and how in a narcissistic relationship it’ll completely change you and your entire mindset. However I could never understand why Bliss never tried to escape it, unless it was because of her unexplained sense of responsibility in providing a life for her grown adult father and his family. 🤔 Either way… I was so relieved when Bethany Melissa was no longer a thing, because cringe that’s all I’m gonna say about that. Vincent, Nash, and War are as always 🔥🔥 I really enjoyed getting to understand Vincent/Scythe’s character more in depth. I feel Elle did an okay job of showing us what it’s like for someone who suffers with DID, but at times I felt it was kind of unrealistic, but that could just be me. Nash and War are tied for being my favorites this time around. I don’t particularly like where Elle left this story in terms of everything still being up in the air with War and his president status and his plans moving forward with his MC. There’s still Vincent’s family business and his mother’s unseen threats left unanswered and her arrangement she wanted him to fulfill.
This story started on the heels of Axel’s unfortunate and heartbreaking death (murder) but I feel the father we got in to the storyline the farther we drifted from that. There was just a lot of questions left unanswered and loose ends left unresolved in my opinion. I did like this 3 book addition in to the Saint View universe, I just didn’t love it. I don’t really think the harem was the right choice in terms of personalities and matchups, but I did like each man individually. I will say though I think HANDS DOWN, Scythe and War’s dynamic and relationship was freaking HOT!! I could read an entire book based on those two alone and never get bored. Yummmmmmy!!
