With her future completely derailed and following months in exile imposed by her shady AF father MK returns home to a changed Shadow Grove, an absentee father and a house (ahem mansion) she now shares with the three gorgeous bad boys she loves to hate and blames for her misfortunes.įorget waiting for retaliation: this was war and there were no fucking rules. James throws us straight into life in Shadow Grove and we immediately watch MK’s life explode on one unfortunate Halloween night. ![]() ![]() However, it soon becomes apparent that her supposedly perfect world reads more like a horror story that’s filled with more trauma than one person should ever suffer and it’s about to get worse. To the outside world MK is like a princess living in a privileged world most could only dream of. ![]() That’s where our MC Madison Kate Danvers comes in. Shadow Grove is a city divided in two: one side dominated by gangs The Reapers and The Wraiths and the other led by the privileged, namely our MC’s daddy Samuel Danvers. It was EPIC and also kind of broke me too because holy cliff-hanger batman… but I’m getting way ahead of myself! Full disclosure, I adore Tate James – something that was cemented when I first read The Vixen’s Lead (shout out to Amazon for dropping that on my recommended reading list way back when). So, I obviously jumped on Hate as soon as I could. ![]()
