Fun, quick and some sexy moments, but overall not my jam. I was having continuity issues between scenes where it became confusing how we jumped from one point to the other. The audio narrator was fine, but did have some cringe moments. Didn’t really care about the characters, and the plot (which is typically more important to me) was very secondary and didn’t have much substance to it.

Why so much girl on girl hate? Isolde needs to brush up on the tenants of feminism and stop trying to fight basically every other women she comes across. This book was also very, VERY inspired by FBAA.

Additionally, for enemies-to-lovers this was very insta-lovey (yes there are ~reasons~ But still). 

I like the Hades and Persephone series but I do not think I will be continuing this one.
