3 out of 5 ☆’s.

“In the middle of the blurry ambiguity stands something real. And that's the only thing I currently believe in.”

Why? 😵‍💫

I was not a fan of that ending (or Kirill’s character throughout most of this book). I loved him in Blood of My Monster, but he was just doing wayy too much in this book. 

I miss Kirill + Sasha from the first book. :(

I think I missed some crucial information about a certain someone because I did NOT see that ending coming. I have noe idea what's going on and my heart took the ending very personal.

I love Ria and Karina. I wish we get more of especially Karina in the next and last book.

(And I see many reviewers complaining about the noise they would make in the bedroom. You guys know soundproofing exist, right?)

It was good, delivered what it promised (although some parts were heavy on the 'dark' part of the dark romance side for my tastes, but hey, the book doesn't sell itself as a rom-com it's on me). I actually liked it more than the first one

Two characters are almost sexually assaulted, there's nothing explicit and it doesn't happen but it could be triggering
