I have no idea why I kept putting this book off. It's definitely the best book of the year so far. I wish I had read it years ago. It is very much like the shadows between us except a lot spicier. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I was really surprised by the care that went into the world building the main characters along with the supporting characters. I did enjoy the main relationship but

I wish there was a bit more development along with a bit more time given to the mc gaining back her memories.

I liked the smut at first but then it got repetitive due to the author not really changing it up or going into more detail about it, It felt like the author wrote the same smut scene just changed small details which made it a bit boring to read. But I still thoroughly enjoyed the book despite it and it’s slight cliches
