SPOILER
dann zu sasha: in einem moment dachte ich SLAY QUEEN so ein badass und im nächsten moment war sie verschüchtert and hat eigentlich das halbe buch nur geheult (als kirill einen boner bekommen hat, als sie ihn weinend umarmt hat, war ich schon raus). manchmal hab ich bei ihren aktionen so second-hand-embarrasment bekommen (ich sag nur, als sie die „male anatomy“ ausprobieren wollte GIRL WHAT THE FUCK) i loved her aber irgendwie hat sie mich auch nur genervt?? SHE HAD ONE FUCKING JOB, hat sechs monate lang geplant, in kirills büro zu kommen, um dort dokumente zu suchen, von denen sie gar nicht weiß, ob sie existieren UND SCHAFFT ES DANN NICHT MAL - i was speechless, was war eigentlich ihre mission?? war auch sooo genervt davon, dass sie sich nicht EINMAL gegen kirill behaupten konnte, he is just a jealous little boy with icy blue eyes come onnnnn
die nebencharaktere waren aber alle likable (auch wenn kirill auf JEDEN EINZELNEN von ihnen eifersüchtig war) (auch auf ihren 8-jährigen cousin, von dem er dachte, es sei sashas LOVER IN RUSSLAND!!! this man was stressing over a little boy and went waaay too far after that, er kam nicht mehr zur ruhe 😭)
i wont lie, i was giggling and kicking my feet aber habe auch oft schlucken müssen bei manchen von kirills aktionen
alles in allem a classic dark romance book, das man mal lesen kann (, aber auch wirklich nicht muss)

I am not a fan of the whole woman disguises herself as a man trope in novels — so I was a bit worried about how I would feel about this one — but I ended up loving it!
I adored Kirill + Sasha as characters, and that ending pushed me to start their second book right after I had finished this one.
P.S. Kirill is a fantastic ally. 💅.
