My god this book was nothing but pain. We didn’t get any plot until 70% in, and then almost none after. I guessed every “twist” way before it happened because this woman’s idea of foreshadowing is to beat you over the head with “hints”. Our main characters spent almost the entire book apart, and then when they got together all they did was fuck and talk about things we already know. This book made me want to tear my hair out from sheer boredom and frustration.

It was really slow with Sera being captured by Kolis and once her and Ash are back together it's like JLA made up all of the missing sex scenes. I skimmed the last portion because of how MUCH damn sex they were having.

This could have been 200 pages shorter. It's sooooo slow and nothing really happens. Also, a lot of the same phrases are used over and over again. A decent editor could have made it so much better.

I feel like this was about 300 pages of nothing happening, and then 300 pages of a little bit happening
