I can’t give this story a good rating because of the stereotypes and exploitation of people of color. Most of us are not living in poverty, fighting in gang wars, raised by inattentive grandparents, objectified as sexual fetches, nor “bad guys” secretly desiring acceptance in white society. In all of the previous stories in this series the main characters were the same race, had unprotected sex, and didn’t get pregnant. But in this one…. The entire story line was disappointing. Hopefully other books by this author doesn’t continue to portray us as we are depicted in this series.

Loved the other books, was disappointed in this one. Struggling to finish it

Okay this has got to be the best book in this series by far... Rix is hot and the ending is SUCH A PLOT TWIST and holy smokes I just couldn’t put it down 😭

I have loved all the books of the beneath series but this one was the icing on the cake. Cream da la cream. My favorite March book to date and I have almost all of them! I think 5 I haven’t . I didn’t go to sleep pulled a all nighter just to keep reading this gem. Must buy! ❤️🔥🌟🥵

Definitely one of my favorite ones of hers I loved it!

You will be on the edge of your sit with the twist and turns in this read. Characters that come to life on each page. You feel know them and their emotions.

Something about a bad boy really gets me!! This is my favorite of the series so far. Written so well with SUCH an amazing plot line. I couldn’t put it down.

Rix is not who you think he is. Valentina is hiding who she is. Combustible chemistry between them. Secrets of their past and their journey together. You don’t always know why you are with them at times, but your heart does!

I am coming back to update this review. I still love Rix and he is still one of my favorite hero’s. I loved seeing him pop up in some of Meghan’s other novels. The twists and turns in this book are to die for. It will hook you from page one. We saw Rix in Beneath these Chains nut this version of him is so much deeper and we really learn who he really is. I highly recommend reading!

I love this book. Valentina has been through her struggles yet maintained a sense of fighting spirit. I even loved Hennessy’s minor story involved. (Even though he wasn’t the male MC.)
