"She's my penguin"
If you've been obsessed with Serena's world and characters like I have, then you'll understand how much I've been waiting for Conor & Star's story. And it was everything I could've ever wanted from them and more!
I adore Conor and his resolute feelings for Star. He's simply the most kind-hearted, loyal, and wildly brilliant man and I could not get enough of his golden retriever energy (don't worry he's still a possessive mobster and knows how to go feral when he wants to). Conor and Star both have pain from their pasts and can connect on such a deeper level because of it. Conor knows that Star is a force all on her own and I love that he simply wants to stand by her side and fight with her as she goes about her plans.
Star has been through absolute hell and I've never wanted a female character to find her happiness as much as I do with Star. She's wicked smart, powerful, and devoted. She's suffered a lot of pain and therefore has no idea how to let others in. She started to when she adopted her daughter and had no choice but to let in Conor too. Reading her walls coming down has been so heart-warming and I can't wait to see more of Star's growth in book 2.
This book will have you in all your feels (at least it did for me) and I'm so excited to see how things play out in Filthy Truth!

The build up
I knew this book would be good. I knew it would be hot. The author had a way of bringing you into the world and taking you in a journey. I, like many, have been waiting for Conor and Star to finally get together. I'm loving the sizzling build up, and watching them grow together.

I’ve been waiting for this book for so long and it absolutely delivered. I always love to read about keyboard pianists. Characters that have mastered tech but not people. Conor and Star are complete equals in prowess,yet balanced each other out in such a beautiful way.
Conor is such a cinnamon roll when it comes to Star. I love how she was such an alpha heroine yet let him care for her. This is action packed, filled with espionage, and political intrigue. The two best hackers in the world are falling in love while saving it. I also enjoyed how they both hold space for each other’s sexual trauma. The steam really felt healing and crescendos.
This does end in a cliffhanger. However, the next book comes out next week. I’m salivating for the conclusion after that cliffhanger

This Book is Everything
I laughed, I cried, I raged and now I need the next one. Conor has been my favorite Five Pointer for a while, but I was not prepared to love him this much. And Star, dear Star. She’s been my favorite character from Akeroyd for a long time now, and this book humanized her even more. I’ve always respected and admired Star’s character, but this book finally had me empathizing with her. Their journey together is action packed and filled with intrigue, but it’s the relationship between that makes this book my new favorite.

This is life. I've waited a lifetime for Donor and Star it seems. This book is everything it is meant be. I can not wait for book two

The beginning of the end
The start of the final duet for the series is worth the wait. It took Conor 2 long years of talking to get his star but when he does its explosive and perfection. On the second half and the finale of this incredible series.
