Overall a fantastic book. The pace was sometimes a bit too slow but the story itself made you want to read it through. I really like that the romance hasn’t taken over the books plot like some other books tends to do.

This premise was so unique and carried out brilliantly by the author. Her witty style of writing was so fun, despite the subject matter being quite gory at times. I absolutely loved watching Lore’s character development, even if I didn’t like her at times. Miles’ subplot has to be my favorite part of the book though. This book did twists really well and had me hooked from the start. Such a good read!
