I’m blown away that this is a debut novel tbh. It was an action packed, well plotted story with lovely writing. I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would. I can’t wait to read the sequel, Our Violent Ends.

I don't think I was in the right frame of mind for this one. It's a great story and well written.

Really, really, liked this book. Roma and Juliette were believable as enemies to lovers, and I loved that Roma was not your typical hero, nor Juliette your typical heroine. He was not toxic, on the other hand, he was very human and nice. He is a good boy, whereas Juliette is more ruthless. I loved that about them. I also liked the other characters very much, and I can't wait to see what will happen, considering the cliffhanger at the end.
