While the book's synopsis initially intrigued me, the reading experience left me with a migraine 🙂 The plot had potential but fell short due to a lack of engaging writing, detailed world-building outside the “manor”, and character development. The “supporting cast” felt underdeveloped, barely interacting with the main protagonist or each other. Excluding Claude, who was “boss and CEO”, so she had to interact with him I guess 👁️👄👁️

The pacing was sluggish, with the most engaging” and “exciting” moments reserved for the end. Numerous dialogues and scenes seemed unwarranted, often using verbose explanations to fill pages rather than advancing the story. It's disappointing because the plot was promising. Don't even get me started on the ending 🙄 A cliffhanger when the storyline was finally getting good……Brother eugh!! What do you mean?????? 🤦🏾‍♀️I don't even want to read the next book at this point🧍🏾‍♀️

I reallllllly liked this book. It kept my attention the whole time. I would be working and thinking of this book, would wake up in the morning excited to find time to read this book. I can’t tell you what exactly it is about it that I love so much. This book has me in a trance and I NEED more NOW! When is the second book being released?!?!?!?!? HELP ME I NEED IT

I absolutely loved this book. My biggest complaint is that when I picked it up I didn't know it was a series and one I have to wait for at that! I'm so excited for whenever the next book comes out because I really want to know what happens next. I love the writing style of this author I was captivated the entire book through, and I found the world and characters to be well thought out and interesting. I will definitely be reading more books by this author!
