Corrupt (Devil's Night Book 1)

Product Information

It highlights how easily a person can be swayed by peer pressure and how quickly a situation can spiral out of control. He went on so many monologues I didn't know if he was trying to be dark and mysterious or attempting to convert Rika to anarchism. In another, Jax finds himself in a love triangle between his best friend and his brother’s girlfriend, showcasing his selfish decisions and disregard for other people’s emotions.

The characters in the novel are complex and layered, their struggles and triumphs inspiring and uplifting. i find this scene so distasteful not only because this happened at 83% and Rika initiated this right after she said "i love you" to Michael - and im not even joking, this threesome scene happened the next page - but it was so out of character for BOTH MCs. Michael should be dead with him too, and I would've liked Rika's body floating somewhere in the sea more. Jaxon’s best friend, Kade, provides an alternative perspective on his relationship with Saddie, while Saddie’s friend, Macy, is a source of strength and support throughout the novel. Even though I’d seen them do things no better than Damon or Will, they were the only two that could control themselves.

Michael and Rika finally admit their feelings for each other, but they must overcome their dark pasts and confront their demons to find redemption. If you love a dark romance and are looking for a hate/love story that’s twisty, INTENSE and sexy this is one I recommend! Pushing up the sleeves of my lightweight sweater, I hurried through the front door of the Crist house and speed-walked across the foyer, heading straight for the stairs. Rika Fane and all the ways she’s the perfect prototype and the rest of us just really messed up the details. Michael and his friends had graduated years ago, but still came back to lead team activities/hazing, while the school officials looked the other way.

Corrupt (stand-alone) opens up to college student Erika Fane, Rika getting ready to move to a new town to get away from her ex and family expectation to make a life with him.I turned and continued up the stairs, hearing the soft music coming from the party out on the terrace. As in all revenge books, I struggle with why characters never get confirmation before they put their evil plans into motion.

We provide book reviews, author interviews, and more, all with the aim of helping our readers discover new books you’ll love. Their Devil’s Night pranks landed Kai, Damon and Will in jail for three years, but now they’re out and they’re looking for revenge. The ending felt rushed to me, tied up all too quickly and too easily, while a few more loose ends would have actually been quite fitting, in my opinion.The main events of the novel include a kidnapping, an attempted murder, and a conspiracy that leads to an unexpected outcome. i remember reading this, like, a thousand years ago - and bless my poor innocent ya dystopian/fantasy, hunger games/divergent reading era soul - i was appalled- DISTURBED. But the book also features a lot of romance, as Jax falls for his brother’s girlfriend and struggles to keep his feelings hidden.

Corrupt” by Penelope Douglas is a dark romance novel that tells the story of Erika “Rika” Fane, a young woman who gets entangled with a group of dangerous boys known as the Horsemen. We want what we want,” he explained, the weight of his soft words meaning more than I think he intended. In addition, the book delves into the motivations behind corruption, from greed and power to ideological disagreements. This teaser is so confusing and EXCITING (scary at the same time too) and apparently it is already released! I’ll never know because I was interrupted and only resumed when I was back at my desk (working really hard, as you can see) and my eyes landed on the word nub and BAM!Meanwhile, the Horsemen begin to carry out their revenge plan, tormenting and manipulating Rika in various ways. One of the most compelling aspects of Penelope Douglass Corrupt Book is its exploration of the history of corruption in government. Furthermore, the story contains a fair amount of violence and the plot is difficult to follow at times, due to the narrative jumping between different points of view. Regardless, this format actually worked for me here and kept me wondering what was going to happen next.
