The book pulls you in right at the beginning but to me, after that initial bang, it grows a little stale for a little bit  thengets pretty good again after 100 pages. There's extensive world building and interesting characters. Can't wait to get my hands on the next one in this series.

Great story, and it was fun to come up with theories on what was going on throughout the book. Slow burn romance that turned inferno. The author did a great job of tying up lose ends and questions I had throughout the book in the last 1/4 while still keeping it interesting.  No cliffhanger, but created enough interest in finding out what happens next for me to immediately want to pick up the next book.

i was super unsure about this book to start but when i got about halfway, i couldn’t put it down. i used every excuse to read (and finish) this book because i enjoyed it so much. i knocked half a star off of my rating because i thought some “plot twists” were a little predictable, but other than that, i loved this book!

Didn’t dislike it as much as I thought I would. It was enjoyable in some parts, some it’s just eh. Some spicy scenes, but I’m also not one for books that hang their hat on just having spicy material to get people to read. I think the plot will be more prevalent in the next one? Interested enough to listen to book 2, not sure on the whole series yet. We’ll have to see!
