adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced

• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

2.5

The main character is annoyingly naive, needy and ignorant, yet somehow irresistable-at-first-glance to the mysterious bad boys in town. 

Not very convincing and the plot needed a lot more oomph, but I liked the Robin Hood vibes and the smut was decent.

trilogie? nein, danke 😊 
dieses eine buch hat gereicht, ich will nichts mehr mit diesen figuren zu tun haben. cecelia, dominic und sean waren  so zweidimensional, dass es mich echt geschmerzt hat. 

die story an sich hatte eine interessante und sogar wirklich spannende grundlage, die dann aber leider schrecklich schwach ausgearbeitet wurde.
cecelia ist sehr naiv und führt sich teilweise so peinlich vor der ganzen „raben-gang“ auf, ich habe so viel second-hand embarrassment gespürt. 

am 27. juli habe ich bei 80% des buches in meine notizen geschrieben:

ich will das buch einfach nur noch verbrennen…

sean ist mittlerweile nur noch am gaslight, gatekeep, girlbossing

dominic ist nicht besser 

cecelia… ich kann nicht mehr mit ihrem „ich bin eigentlich nicht so eine“ DOCH GENAU SO EINE BISTE!!!!

ich glaub, man spürt meinen frust 🥲

Okay the only thing I remember ab this book is she worked at a factory and when she turned 19 she explored relationships 😀 in a more intimate connection. These fellas kept big secret and now she is probs gonna die. The smut was nice the book just felt drawn out😊 👍🏼

mcemma7's review against another edition

I don’t know why the marketing of this book made me think that it was going to be a magical kind of Robin Hood re-telling with a little bit of spice. I think it’s a really interesting premise, but the author might have done too good a job making her MMCs unlikable. Unfortunately, all the characters were so unlikeable to me that I just couldn’t get into it. It just wasn’t for me, so I DNF.

I kept putting off picking this book up because there was just so much surrounding this series that I didn't think it could live up to all of the hype, but I was wrong. This first book felt like a summertime romance between these kids who are falling in love for the first time, and it was such an addictive read. But the cliffhanger! The things crashed and burned and then just ended! So I immediately need to pick up the next book and see how that one goes!
