this book took me by surprise. it’s one of the books i feel so connected to— no doubt i got attached to the characters.
i didn’t really give it 5 stars because i didn’t really love the insta-love trope, but i enjoyed their romance. i also guessed the major plot twist, so it didn’t really blew my mind off as other people say it will. it was dark— very dark, but not scary. though, at some times i felt scared for the main character and her love interest.
i definitely sobbed at the end; it was so selfless of her to do that.
in summary, this book made me suffocate in the best way possible. the atmosphere felt very real.

This could've beena good--a great read even if only there weren't any romance between ANY of the Swan sisters and with any human being ever. These sisters who have been killing for around 200 years don't deserve any of that. Among the three, superficially one might find Hazel to be the least vicious sister, however when one looks closer, she's the most dangerous of them all. Because unlike her sisters Marguerite & Aurora, she has grand delusions of herself being the 'good' and 'heroic' one when in fact she's nothing but a two-faced, manipulative person who doesn't deserve any form of redemption, forgiveness or love.
