If you loved this one, read the devils night series! The two main characters from this book intertwine with that series and that series is even darker and filled with spice and love.

Tension that makes you question your morales..
Five Brothers by Penelope Douglas had me stressed, confused, and turning pages at 1AM. The tension in this book? Unreal. The dynamics? Complicated. My loyalty? Questionable. If you love emotionally intense, morally gray romance… this one will hook you. ⚠️ Not for light romance readers &

Punk 57 book review- Penelope Douglas
Description: "we were perfect together until we met" Punk 57 is a story of Ryen and Misha, two friends who mistakenly got joined as pen-pals when they were children. And they had been inseparable since then, sending letters and telling each other everything even though they’ve never met.
