adventurous dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? No

2.5

Honestly, I didn't like this book and didn't hate this book either. I just felt so indifferent to the story itself and the characters. It was boring at times and the main character was very annoying (even more so with the woman's voice who narrated the audiobook) and she had literally no chemistry with her boring love interest. I was really looking forward to reading this series but book one has me very disappointed and not wanting to read book two.
