Enigma truly is a great story line with a great love story. It is written in third person and as a reader who prefers first, it makes it a little different. Thankfully this one didn’t miss a beat. It was still good. On another overall book preference, as much as I appreciated the pictures/quotes before each chapter, this is NOT great for those listening to the audiobooks.
Now on to the love story: Salem and Caz I loved as a couple. The tension between the two were undeniable. Salem going to Mortimer was hands down the best thing that could have happened to her. After losing her sister and her dad, she needed a space to find herself. While her brain runs on a 10 at all times and she truly doesn’t think before just following danger, it did bring her to Caz in a way!
Thankfully they both accept the secrets, dark, and misunderstandings of each other. His obsession and protectiveness over her…truly a dream. It was hot and spicy even if there were not real spice scenes. Which there absolutely were! Overall, I enjoyed this read and the overall premise of the plot.

I enjoyed the characters a ton and the romance was very tangible. however, i felt  like the plot was lost a a little bit, like we didnt get answers to the plot story till the last chapter. definitely could have been a lot shorter but i loved the detail of the characters. they were all very emotional and we learned a lotttt about Salem. also love caz

Overall good read. 
Story was intriguing but the pacing was very wonky with the relationship taking over the plot (yes I know it’s a romance) to where the reveal at the end was rushed and flat. And while some lines were wonderfully written and quotable lots of it was also cringy.

I did not know that I needed this book. The mystery part of it had me hooked and desperate to figure out what was happening. I enjoyed the romance side and the plot twist. I was left wanting more with the ending, which is unfortunate because I believe this is a standalone novel. However, this was an enjoyable, dark fantasy romance read!
