The writing itself wasn't the greatest, but the characters are really the downfall of the story. They all are Mary Sue-esque, having physical features that are too perfect or skills/qualities too necessary to the plot, .i.e.
Overall, it was a struggle to get through this book. I didn't care for the characters or the plot, it was predictable at best. It was concerning with how Alex treated Ava and I feel like it promotes unhealthy relationships. Hurting others isn't attractive, stalking isn't attractive, possessiveness isn't attractive.

The book majorly sped up on the last 50%, the first 50% was still good though!
This book does have its issues which I'll try to sum up:
- Alex is kinda stalkerish and gives off creepy vibes. Even more so in the last 50%
- The singing scene was... uncomfortable to read.
- This book is leaning quite heavily on the fact you would read the next one, this can't be read as a stand-alone.
- At times to me it felt like I was reading a Twilight fanfiction.

What I didn't enjoy about this book was the third act when the characters were in London. This portion was just the wrong length; it either needed to be shorter and just be an extended epilogue or it needed to be more fleshed-out and show us
Despite the weak ending, I mostly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to continuing the series.
Favourite quote:
She felt like heaven to my hell, the closest I'd ever get to salvation, and yet I still wanted to drag her into the depths of Hades with me.
