So far this series is really good! I think this first book is a lot of world building and character introductions. The middle of the book seems like the beginning. I am very glad there are more books to expand on Juliette and Warner. I so far don't trust Adam and love Kenji and Juliette. I think the world building works very well it just means the into is super slow.

I started reading this series because of booktok, but I didn't know that Aaron Warner wasn't the love interest (yet). He was the only reason I read it but I finished the book pretty quickly, it easy to read. I still have to read unravel me and more but the first book I didn't like but didn't hate.
