The Hillcrest Curse laid claim 25-year-old Ethan and 18-year-old Izzy. When tragedy befalls the family and they are separated, Ethan becomes unhinged, epitomizing the hex.
I would have loved to see more of their story. However, I’ll take what I can get because I live for the intensity Ethan exudes and the no effs given, abrasive, she’s-the-only-one-I-see behavior.
📣 PSA: This is a work of fiction.

✨ Tropes: Age Gap (7), Alphahole, OTT Jealous/Possessive, Taboo {🩸}

For the life of me, I can’t find a book that came before this one. Does anyone know of one?
The story started in the middle, at least that’s what it felt like to me. I missed Ethan and Isabelle falling, their first time. I missed all the drama that landed Ethan in the hospital and only got snippets of what happened.
It was still a pretty consuming little read though. Ethan is super possessive and freaking psychotic, which I love. Isabelle isn’t much saner, just as crazy not only for her brother but she’s there for all the bloodlust.
I’m excited to read about more of this toxic, fucked up family.

• No OM/ OW drama
• Not sure if they were both virgins because they did start hooking up before the book started…
• No mention of their past sexual history (if they had any besides each other, which didn’t seem likely)
• birth control used
• there is a scene where H and h fuck while their brother Landon, eats out his twin sister while she’s sleeping

La única razón por la que sigo con estos libros es para saber qué pasa con Landon y Sophie.
Menos nefasto que el del padre, pero nefasto también.

This was pointless. The whole thing is all told through telling verses showing and focuses on stuff that happened before this before even started. Just give us the scenes if you want us to have that information. It was boring to read. The H and h are already in a “relationship” and have been together sexually prior to the book starting so there’s none of that angst or tension that forbidden/taboo books need to actually feel taboo. There’s no build up either, as soon as they’re reconnected they’re just f*cking. It’s all shock value so the authors can have a long list of triggers warnings. Really unsatisfying.
Overall: 1.5

It was an amazing spicy novella with a good start and a proper ending.
Tropes:
- Carved his name
- Taboo
- Knife Play
- Age-gap
- Obsessed
- Possessive
What happens when a tragedy takes place in the Hillcrest family which leads to the separation of Ethan and Izzy? All he knows is, that he woke up in a hospital, his father is missing and everyone is gossiping about his family but all he cares about is "Where is Izzy"?
He tried calling her but her calls were going to voicemail. What do you think a possessive big brother will do when he can't find her little sister?
Read this spicy dark novella and I'm sure you'll wish to read other books based on Hillcrest because I certainly am craving to read other books.

Short and spicy taboo romance.
I did read Daddy’s Doll before this one, which helped me understand a bit better what was going on. If I hadn’t read that one first, I would have probably been really confused.
I liked the relationship between Ethan and Izzy, but I would have enjoyed it more if there had been some buildup to it instead of them jumping straight to f*cking after they see each other.
In my opinion, Daddy’s Doll and this one would have worked better as one book, because they seem to be happening at the same time. But I understand that the authors probably wanted to focus on one couple at a time.

I loved this one 🔥 The only thing I hated was that it wasn’t longer!! I needed more from this two because they were 🔥🔥 together. I’m hoping lots of couples end up which their own stories! I would have liked to see them at the start of the ‘relationship’ instead of just him going back to get her. If you enjoy taboo, definitely give this one a read. I find myself enjoying everything Tate & Rory write 😍

My little guilty pleasure is definitely taboo's books. I love them and they are perfect for a quick read for me.
*Brother and Sister
*Dark vibes
*Violenc3 and other triggers
Really, I read some books by the authors, but it always surprises me how good the stories are. If you don’t have any triggers, go check them.

And the Baddies strike again with a short novella that takes us back to Hillcrest University, a place we’ve come to know and love in their previously released No Crosses Count. This time Ethan and Isabella Hillcrest take center stage in this extreme tab00 tale of two unhinged souls that will do anything to be together, a love and desire that transcend tragedy and death.
A fast paced narrative filled to the brim with all types of steamy depravity, Brother’s Beauty does exactly what it promises— it gives us the quick hit we need to hold us over for more. Both Ethan and Izzy are mere puppets to their obsession for each other, and I always love when Ireland and Monroe give us MCs that can go toe-to-toe with each other. Rough and possessive with a dash of psychosis, they’re both beautifully fleshed out for such a short read.
A supposed “Hillcrest Curse” is what prevents the two from ignoring their desire for each other, and it’s one that will affect everyone in the family. We see the beginnings of it with another sibling, and I just need to say the accompanying scene is insanely wrong…but wrong never felt so right. In all honesty, I need more details about this curse immediately. I know another piece of that puzzle is on the way, and I can’t wait to see how it’s developed.
I’m going to say it, and I say this proudly…the Baddies NEVER disappoint. Whether you’re a fan of theirs or looking to submit to the siren’s call of their tab00 goodness, this one will give you a quick taste of what they have to offer. I loved it and, as always, I’m very much looking forward to more.

I’ve never read a book with this taboo topic, but it was interesting. I wish we had more of the curse that causes it, but the basic story was good

Izzy y Ethan fueron diferentes a lo último que he leído de estas autoras, amé a Isabella de moral cuestionable y pelo rosa 💖 Además, Ethan no se contuvo ni tantito gaaaaah. Algo rápido para satisfacer mis cravings lectores prohibidos.

September 9, 2024One thing you should know before you read this thing, yeah thing because you can't call it a book. Is that they are brother’s. Yeah, you did read correctly they are brother’s, if you don't like this kind of stuff, just don't read it because you will get traumatized like me.
Anyway, the story was short and confusing. Like, wtf is that curse man💀 They were horny all the time like damn. And he literally fucked her sister in front of his little brother like it's was nothing, like it was normal him to fuck his little sister. I fucking hate this shi.
If you wanna know why I read this thing is because me and my friend read the genres and saw "Brother/Sister" and our jaw drop, but we were like "I should read this to traumatized myself." and my friend saied yes, so read this thing. But guess what? I send my friend screenshots off the story to traumatize her, too. 💃🏻💃🏻

I hope I can read in hell because…. I’m going to hell for reading this book. There is not enough holy water in the world to cleanse my brain from reading this 🫣
That scene at the end… a warning would have been nice, I’m not even sure how to react. It was fucking crazy, I’ve read a lot….but not that… 😶🌫️😂

Wrong in All the Right Ways
This book is so wrong in so many ways, but Rory Ireland and Tate Monroe are masters of the taboo literary skill and wow me even with this sick piece of fiction. Please, for the love of God, tell me there will be a sequel soon! I want it so badly! And yes, I think I need therapy over this.
