Review

I was counting down the days for Destructively Mine after falling head over heels for the first book in the series. The characters instantly pulled me in, and I couldn’t wait to see how their stories unfolded. This series does such a great job balancing the push and pull between family loyalty and the desire to carve out your own path. There’s this raw emotional tension around choosing what’s best for yourself while still feeling tied to your roots—even when those roots are tangled or morally messy.

In this second book, long-buried truths finally rise to the surface. We get deeper insight into the six friends and siblings—how their pasts shaped them, how their relationships intertwine, and how their bonds with their parents continue to influence them. It’s a powerful look at how family trauma, shared memories, and personal growth all collide. The story reminds us that family isn’t just about blood—it’s about connection, understanding, and the people who stand by you through the hard stuff. I’m so excited to see where these authors take the series next!
