The book pulls you in right at the beginning but to me, after that initial bang, it grows a little stale for a little bit  thengets pretty good again after 100 pages. There's extensive world building and interesting characters. Can't wait to get my hands on the next one in this series.

Great story, and it was fun to come up with theories on what was going on throughout the book. Slow burn romance that turned inferno. The author did a great job of tying up lose ends and questions I had throughout the book in the last 1/4 while still keeping it interesting.  No cliffhanger, but created enough interest in finding out what happens next for me to immediately want to pick up the next book.

So many mixed feelings…I feel like the author went overboard with world building and there are so many confusing moving pieces and lore evolving. There were parts I was so lost - and never got an answer to what something was. Even though it makes no sense, this book is hard to put down. I enjoyed the spicy and conflicting scenes. However, Poppy’s internal monologue was kind of grating at times especially towards the end of the book when things pick up heavily. And our male main character has a lot of shockingly creepy lines…lacking polished editing but still an addictive read.  This almost feels twilight x GOT with random other new stuff thrown in. I am interested in what comes next.
