The way that I just ate this book up. I just cannot even describe how fully obsessed with these characters I am. Killian and Felix have the tension, the banter, and the chemistry. I absolutely adored watching them bicker and light the pages on fire. Then seeing it slowly turn into something even bigger and more real was so beautiful. These two complemented each other so well, and seeing Killian be soft and sweet for Felix *dreamy sigh.* Felix and all of his sass was also my favorite and it was exactly what Killian needed. I also really enjoyed the bits of intrigue throughout the novel, it kept things interesting.
I think my biggest complaint is that I found this series before it was finished being published 😂 I'm on pins and needles waiting for the next books!! 10/10 do recommend

really enjoyed the book and it’s plot!
it was different from previous books i’ve read and i absolutely love how the twins and killian protect felix😍
omg the spicy scenes between killian and felix were off the charts🥵
how felix went against natalie was the absolute best😂
and the twins being a huge tease at all times was the best!!
pain & pleasure go hand in hand…. Right?😉
I love a good stepbrothers troupe and this one DELIVERS.
It’s high heat & high stakes in this University Frat/Elite club romance.
Animosity, murder, and mayhem swirl together in an edge of your seat tale, full of phenomenal support characters, a gripping plot, and thigh clenching spice.
The perfect blend of tension, hate, lust, and possession make these Step brothers some of my new favs.
Mind the trigger warnings.
Note: If the murder twins don’t get a book I’ll riot! Lol

After a tragedy Felix has been bunked up with his stepbrother Killian. Close proximity, taboo stepbrother relationship, found family and a mystery to solve made this a page turner for me.
Your heart will hurt for Felix, he’s been numb and lost for years before even his family tragedy. He thinks Killian and his cousins hate him because of the hostility he’s always felt from them.
The close proximity causes tensions to rise and there to be an attraction to form. Once the line is crossed it’s full steam ahead with these stepbrothers.
