2.0

It took me quite a while to get into the book. The pacing was kinda slow for me & I have just discovered that I am very disturbed by bullying & sexual harassment. 

I was disgusted by how the Heirs treated the Twins. Halfway through the book, I actually thought that Darius may not be such a bad guy but I regress. 

I know that there is more to Darius’s character but for now, I am keeping my thought of him as a douche. 

The ending was kinda anti climatic for me. I was expecting that turn of events but the whole plot of the book really kept me engaged to still finish the book. Ending the book left me with more questions than answers. 

Besides the bullying & the sexual harassment, it was an interesting & engaging read. 

I am not touching on the Twins’ character because I am hoping there would be a development in their character & abilities in the next book. Till then, I am saving my thoughts on them. 

Well then, off to the second book.
