3.0

For a book that’s supposed to be about Kai, it sure seemed like it was more about Damon than anything. It was also really sloooooooow. And there was, like, ZERO chemistry between Kai and Banks. This one didn’t really do it for me. On to the next I guess…

Banks and Kai are such captivating characters. Hideaway was just as suspenseful as the first book in the Devil’s Night series. 

This dark romance series is becoming one of my all time favorites. And the audiobook is so good. The narrators bring these characters to life in this dual narration. Exactly how I’d imagine their voices. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
