I powered through to finish this to say I honestly gave this book a chance. The idea of this story sounded fun from the summery. The execution, well, the writing needs work. Too much Telling instead of Showing of the characters inner struggles and turmoil.
Iโโm not hooked and Iโm so bored of this back and forth of Otto wanting to keep treating Raven as a sister but then does stuff with herโฆ like make up your mind?!
I've read a handful of books from this author, and even though they're darker and more violent than what I normally read, I have been enjoying them. This one, overall I did like, but it started getting old of the Otto not being good enough, and she deserves more, blah blah. What kept me going was the suspense element, I had an idea on some, but there was a jaw dropping moment for me. One I definitely did not see coming! I ended up skimming half of the naughty scenes because the romantic part just wasn't doing it for me as much, I liked them together, don't get me wrong, but the Romantic part just felt a little drawn out for me. But it was still worth reading for that and all the action.

I was hoping Otto and Raven would get a chance after seeing their chemistry in Book 1. This is not what I was expecting.
This is so much more than just a forbidden romance. There are so many layers to them and so much history! She was his little sister's best friend before she died. Now, she's still his best friend's little sister.
There is so much healing that goes on, and so many secrets revealed - you won't want to stop reading! I saw some twists coming - but one of them was so surprising and I never would have guessed it
Otto and Raven are like magnets drawn to each other - inevitable.

Oh this book. I donโt know what else to say but I loved it. The characters, the story, the twists in the plot, literally everything. It was soo good and I loved it.
The two lead characters were fab. We were introduced to them in the first book of the series and it was so good to get to read their stories. Both the FMC and MMC which technically would be considered as morally grey at best but they are both generally nice people who care so much about each other and their โfamilyโ.
Raven as the FMC may be one of my all time favouriteโs. She is just brilliant and I really enjoyed hearing her perspective. Otto as the MMC is just dreamy and I donโt use that word often.
This is a MC romance but think of that more as a back drop rather than a main feature. This is all about loss and trauma and the inner strength you donโt know you have.
