i think this really needs to be heavily edited. The conversational flow was all off.

I hated the way they threw the two main characters together and they fell in love within a week or two? cmon

i appreciated the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book but I don’t think they did enough. the sex scenes were so uncomfortable towards the end and just so violent. They really needed to do more character development. Why are women always so helpless and small. Also “little one”??? THATS WEIRD and unnecessary

I have to say... I wasn't expecting much from this book when I first initially started it but by the end I was engrossed and fully decided that I needed the rest of the series.

It first started our along similar lines as A Court of Thorns and Roses but as it progressed it strayed into its own plot line.

Estrella has a hard life but quickly learns that she won't let a man rule her life anymore. I admire this in her as she has the strength to stand up to her abuser first and then later against her brother.

Caelum is stunning. I love Caelum. From the beginning he always showed that he was racy, sassy and protective of her but he was sweet, understanding and fully appreciative of her. Ha ha... I was so naive......

Read it and when you get to the end and the plot twist kicks your ass as well, come talk to me.
