I don’t even know what to say, I am hooked. The most heart wrenching beautiful start to a series. I’m so ready to follow Lily and Lo and all their friends/siblings on their own personal journeys.

After hearing people rave about this series on Twitter, I thought I was going to love it. Honestly, it was just okay. Nothing to scream to the rooftops about, but not necessarily bad either. However, I did like how they portrayed their addictions because it was very accurate. I think I will continue the series just to see what happens.

The only reason I will continue the series because of Connor Cobalt. He will insult you and still make it sound nice and exotic. Man have me wrapped around his finger. Otherwise,Lily and Lo are two exhausting people to read about. I mean yes I am not against the journey but the two addicted people don't do for me. Can you imagine reading series because you are smitten with a side character(he gets his own book though)? I do very much.

What did I just read?  Why did I even read it?

I don't know what I was expecting, but it definitely did not deliver.  Also, the twist was obvious from a mile away.

I think I was swayed by those that said they loved the couple.  I've read darker romances before and they've been meh to okay so I figured, maybe this is the one.  It was not the one.
