4.25: great refreshing story I liked that the storyline didn't seem copycat of others out there. Spice was a slow burn and definitely got there. Ending wasn't mind blowing but also wasn't expected so solid there as well. Will read next one.

I wish i could give this book 6 stars.
ACOTAR + The Great Gatsby with great characters, intricate world, and smut???
Adeline was so easy to relate to, and the writing style was phenomenal. I was hooked from page 1. I’m so excited for the sequel!!!!

QUICK REVIEW: When I watch sports on TV, I really only care about that final quarter/last inning. (This may or may not show you my lack of passion for most sports) - That doesn’t translate to my reading habits, but it did for this book. The last act felt like Marks talent really started to shine. (You just have to hang on because this is a longer book than most.)

Now to be fair, I feel similar to when I read the The Diviners by Libby Bray. I wasn’t “jake” with the campy decade world-building, but as series progressed, I was hooked. (But maybe it’s also because the audio narration was A+++?) So though, yes, it took me awhile to get into this, I’m excited it’s a series and curious on will it go. Glad to see book 2 will be out later this year.
