"It was the perfect amount of twisted dark romance, thrill and action. It was fast paced and captivating. I couldn’t put it down. I still have trouble breathing thinking about the sauna scene. "

"I didn’t love nor hate Corrupt. There were moments in the story where I found myself needing to walk away because things occurring were either too confusing or too intense: check your trigger warnings boys & girls. However, it is a good story depicting the social struggles young teens-adults phase as they hit that next phase in their life. How they handle confusing complicated situations, and how those experiences mold who and what kind of adult they are in the future. "

"Wow! Penelope outdid herself 👏🏼! Romance/Thriller with plot many twists. The horsemen gave me purge vibes but mayhem over murder. Loved every moment of this book!! Michael&Rika. Already going to start the second"

"3.8/5
It was really cute but im deducting points for some Hunting Adeline behavior, I was a little bored in the beginning and I felt like the end dragged on a bit. Otherwise I liked it, and don't tell my therapist. Thanks!"

"It has some very intense scenes...it's just a lot but this book is very spicy if that is what you are looking for. If sexual assault is a big trigger for you I would not recommend this book. "
