What an ending! I am left sated and content. The confusion regained all the full breath-taking force of the first book and drove home to a most wonderful conclusion.

Jack and Alan are by far my favourite pair and their romance scratches soooooooooo many trope itches I love. They hurl insults and vitriol back and forth with abandon in a way that they both enjoy. The SMUT is EXCELLENT. Consensual non-consent kinks and blistering hate that drives lust.

I very much enjoyed the plot and the discussions Marske brings forth about patriarchy, classism, colonialism. I will be sad to leave these book friends behind but will relish the time spent in their company. Cheers!

Thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
