In a nutshell, Rika was the younger neighbor that Michael lusted after. She was forbidden fruit, intended for his younger brother, his family's golden child. As much as they wanted each other, Michael knew that he needed to stay away from the young Lolita that grew sexier every time he saw her. Michael — THIS BITCH NEEDS A THERAPIST. He is an immature, pathetic, self-proclaimed psycho basketball player. He was literally so dumb and had so many daddy issues. His excuses for his actions were really bad, and I couldn't stop myself from yawning. He played the 'you-hurt-my-friends-we-will-take-revenge' card for years, and in the end, he attempted to assault/rape Rika with the help of his friends. Everything was so polished, and when I looked around at all the adults and families I grew up with, their money and designer clothes, I often saw a coat of paint that you apply when you’re trying to cover up rotting wood. There were dark deeds and bad seeds, but who cared if the house was falling apart as long as it was pretty, right? This was exactly what I needed! I was hooked on this story immediately and I couldn't put it down because I simply found it amazing and so addictive! With this book Penelope went to a whole other level! I haven't read anything like this before. The story is compelling, dark, mysterious, hot and twisted! You will be on the edge of your seat till the end! Corrupt (stand-alone) opens up to college student Erika Fane, Rika getting ready to move to a new town to get away from her ex and family expectation to make a life with him.But I did now, and inch by inch, my skin buzzed with anticipation as I turned to open to the shed door. We had rules, a way that this was supposed to work. We weren’t going to hurt her. We were going to ruin her.”
