And if a book can have me emotionally attached to it, it holds a special place in my heart and on my shelves.
This book has it all, by the way. It's a murder mystery, found-family, spicy love story, and has an emotional pendulum that is all the place. In my own way, I crave the way Bryce cares for those she loves. A love that strong is scary, but the loyalty and safety and acceptance that comes with it -- even at the risk of losing it -- is something special.
Moderate: Death and Drug abuse
Minor: Suicidal thoughts

Light it up, light it up, light it up!!!
Nothing's what it seems, you'll be surprised by the things that will get you to your knees. I laughed, cried, broke down, was brought back to life... Play "did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd - Lana del Rey" for full effect once you reach chapter 91 (on repeat) to really set the mood. Fun times.
I absolutely enjoyed the characters in this book. Love the whole Maasiverse and this one's really a true part of it all ❤️🔥

The mystery plot was really engaging and the world was interesting. I was confused by the worldbuilding and think a map of the world (instead of just the city) and a glossary of terminology would have been helpful.
I found the rudeness and hostility between Bryce and Hunt at the beginning to be immature and very annoying. Luckily the characters were developed, and I really liked them and their relationship by the end of the book. I thought it was great that they develop a friendship first and then eventually a romantic relationship. The scene where she takes care of him when he's feeling messed up after getting back from one of Micah's assignments was so sweet.
The last 200 pages or so were awesome. Just a wild ride, crazy action-packed and full of emotion.
