Ugh. So much I found lacking in this book. Characters without any propulsion any direction. A female narrator who chose a poorly done British accent for the MFC, when there are no other characters in the book who use accents from other regions. It was hard to tell if the author was trying to do a sub/dom or BDSM kind of thing, or if emotional, mental, and physical abuse was her kink (the character being abused got little to no satisfaction from the treatment, so I’m leaning towards the latter.
Did not finish. Would not waste my time.

The anxiety that clawed at my chest while reading Storm of Secrets and Sorrow was unbearable. Just when you think you’re finally getting answers, the book throws more bloody questions your way and leaves you spiraling all over again!
I’m so used to enemies-to-lovers where the characters eventually fall into each other and confess their love — but this? This back and forth between Tessa and Theon is doing irreversible damage to my heart. The frustration I had in book one hasn’t gone away… it’s just redirected. To Theon and his stupid, endless secrets. HE created this mess. He did this.
Now, reading book two, I finally get why people call this a 6-star series. It’s not quite there for me yet, but I see it — this isn’t your typical enemies-to-lovers. In fact, at this point I’m not even sure it’ll get to lovers at all. There’s too much betrayal. Too many lies. Too much trauma and heartbreak and confusion. And still, I wish Tessa would open up to him, but every time she tries, Theon gives her another reason not to. And even though it’s frustrating as hell, I get it. I don’t blame her one bit.
This book is so beautifully written. The intricacy of the plot, the carefully dropped secrets, the way fate drags these characters across the coals with no mercy — it’s stunning. There’s so much to unpack and it takes time to absorb it all, but trust me, it’s worth every minute.
Now if you’ll excuse me… I need to get into book three immediately.
