Savage Queen by Eva Ashwood

The final book in the Dark Elite series can be described almost exactly the same way as I described the first two, a long fan fiction that gets straight to the point. However, the spicy scenes do intensify, a much anticipated moment between the female main and the most reserved of the four guys finally happens, and everyone finally has a conversation, although a very brief one, regarding what exactly is going on between all five of them. While I am satisfied that pretty much all the ends were tied up, I am not satisfied with the overall story. I feel like this could have been so much better if it had been longer and more care had been put into the story telling. I was so frustrated that at many points as I was reading all three of the books I considered starting to write my own reverse harem novel just so that I could read something along the lines of what I was hoping for. If this continues to bother me in the back of my mind, I might actually start a draft. 

All in all, it does what it needs to do and you can get through the series very quickly. If I had absolutely nothing else to do, I could have read all three books in one day. I won’t recommend the series but I will keep it on my shelf as a reference to go back to if I do ever decide to write that book, so I can remind myself of everything I don’t want a reverse harem novel to be. Hopefully, this is the most disappointing series I read this year and perhaps I will get lucky in having read my worst books of the year at the very beginning of it.
