This book was not what I expected - and I freaking loved it!!!
It’s always a great feeling to go into a book not knowing much about it and not having high expectations for it only to discover it to be a new favourite =3

Its okey.
But she so desperately wanted the twist at the end that she included a scene and a plot point that no longer makes sense with that twist.

The story I didn’t know I needed
I’m seriously kicking myself for having waited so long to read this book. I’m a huge fan of the slow burn queen but for some reason I never picked up this book until now. This was a fantastic read. The entire plot and sub plots just fell together so perfectly. I’ll confess I did read book 2 1st but IT HONESTLY didn’t even give away the mystery from this book (book 1). I loved the supporting cast and after finishing this book and the second book in the series I can’t wait for what comes next

I love a slow burn story and Anyta Sunday always delivers on this aspect. This book is also single POV which I think works really well with a slow burn, adding to the tension as you’re unaware of what the other love interest is thinking. I thought Liam, the protagonist, was a bit annoying to begin with but he did grow on me as the book progressed. Quinn, the other love interest was really lovely and I enjoyed watching their relationship develop. The side characters were also quite well developed here. Overall a sweet, easy read.

Great book - I really love Liam's character. Quinn was a little boring and the plot twists didn't make a lot of sense but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It was alright?

Totally read this in one day, I couldn't put it down! I LOVE Liam! Oh my gosh, ditto on Hunter and Quinn. I thought it was obvious from the start but then I changed my mind and I'm so happy that I was right! This story was so engaging and I actually didn't see the bad guys' identity so kudos to the author. And sometimes really you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, i.e. Jill. I thoroughly did enjoy reading this story! :) <3
ETA: I purposely didn't read reviews first because I knew it was a mystery and didn't want to be spoiled in any way but I finished so I read and yes. Can we please give Hunter a HEA? He was so awesome!

Liam Davis is a student journalist writing for the campus magazine, hoping to gain apprenticeship at his father’s firm. In order for him to accomplish that, he needs to hold an editorial position for two years. He works hard and believes the features editor position is a possibility in the very near future, but Chief Benedict wants the students to be challenged. So he reassigns everyone to different positions. To Liam’s consternation, he is asked to write the party page. For lots of reasons, this really sucks. Liam is not a partier, he has no friends outside of work, and his life is solely devoted to studies.
If this story were told from any other perspective than Liam’s own, I might have found it difficult to finish. Even still, he was a difficult character and it took some time for me to warm up to him. As a journalist, Liam’s skills of observation are well honed. His social skills, however, need some work. Thankfully, the party page provides Liam with the opportunity to make some new friends and learn who the Raven is.
Liam is blunt and insensitive at times. He also seems incapable of expressing emotion or responding to others’ feelings. It’s awkward and frustrating at first, but I really enjoyed watching Liam slowly come out of his shell and gradually become a character I could empathize with. Liam’s character is well balanced by those of his new friends. There’s Quinn, his roommate, and his close friend, Shannon. There’s also Hunter, amateur photographer, and partially paralyzed after a brutal gay bashing incident. Liam’s two rivals at work, Jack and Jill, make his life difficult, as does his distant father.
These are very real, engaging characters that I enjoyed spending time with. The mystery surrounding Liam’s attacker and rescuer was light and clever, with a few surprises. This is a thoughtful, humorous and entertaining story that made me smile.

I've had this one on my kindle for ages and for some strange reason just never got round to reading it. Oh how silly was I?! I should know better than to leave one of Anyta Sunday's books unread, they really are the loveliest. Quirky characters, oblivious MC and totally patient love interest, highly recommended.
