I love it it would get 5 stars but IT NEEDS TO BE LONGER like I felt it was very rushed (even though their is like 8 more books ) I felt it was too short for my liking.

I really enjoyed this read, it was fast paced and kept me engaged. I also really love the unique writing style with the singular POV of this broken 17 year old girl Juliette, and the use of the various strike through thoughts really gives you an insight into her mindset. The similes and metaphors in this book are beaut and again I think really give an insight into Juliette’s head. The plot is nothing spectacular at this point but it sets up the dystopian world and the characters decently enough. It gives explanation to Juliette’s mental state and the second half of the book sets up the beginning of such an interesting plot line, I’m excited to see what happens next. I’m assuming the next book will answer some of the ‘why?’.
I’m confused about the hype online about Aaron Warner because so far he just seems like an insane person used to getting his way by any means necessary and kinda scary. But we’ll see, enemies to lovers is my faaave trope and there were moments between Juliet and Aaron in amongst his insanity when I was like omg yes this is giving me possible enemies to lovers vibes. Just right now I don’t understand how he could redeem himself.
Adam is such a cutie and yet I’m trying not to let myself get too attached to him, because I’ve not heard his name online before, but have heard Warner’s… suspicious, and I think I’m trying to protect myself from potential future heartbreak by not letting myself get too invested in this love story.
James is adorable, and Kenji provides the light relief character with a good sense of humour that we love.
At present Juliette is probably one of my least favourite characters because although it’s cool that she has this dangerous but impressive power, at this stage in the series she’s also pretty weak. I’m here for her journey of growth into (hopefully) an all powerful boss babe though, and am looking forward to her character development, so bring it on.
Satisfactory ending? Yes.

Okay honestly, this might be my favorite book ever!! I was super sceptical before beginning it, especially since I've been in a reading slump the past 6 months but this book immediately got me out of it!! I read it in like 2 days and already bought the sequel and am so excited to start it!

This book was the perfect mixture of a dramatic plot line, character development and a sizzling romance!! I am obsessed with Juliette as well as Adam, but even side characters like Kenji or Villains like Warner stole my heart! Every character in this book is writing so incredibly charming it took my breath away!

I recommend this book the everyone who likes a good fantasy romance,, and even though it didn't get steamy in this book, there are many more books to follow and I'm incredibly excited to go on this adventure!!
