Second read-through was better than the first. So many details I didn't remember so it was honestly like reading it again for the first time 🤩 I do really love this book!

There was a subplot that I found somewhat unnecessary and dragged out, but I understand why it was included.  Overall the book is fantastic, full of questions, and with a compelling cast and emotional moments.

A romp. Conversations are hornier than I'd expected but it's a fun adventure to be on with our sassy protagonists

I fell in love with this book so quickly!

This book had everything! Mystery, a bit of romance, and adventure. When I first started it, I wasn't too sure what to expect, but I loved every minute of it.

Bryce was such an amazing lead and I loved getting to know Hunt as well. The side characters also added so much to the book! I felt like the pacing of the book was actually so well done. I was never bored or waiting for something. I think the balance between the mystery and romance/character plot was perfect. Both Bryce and Hunt had so much in their lives that they needed to work through, and I loved seeing them begin to trust each other. Neither of them had a whole lot to live for, but together they found a reason!

I loved it all and I am happy with the ending. I feel like we could end it there if we wanted to, but I am still really excited to see where the rest of the series takes us. I fell in love with these characters and the storyline was so exciting. There were a lot of twists and turns throughout the whole book, and when I got towards the end I seriously couldn't put the book down! So well done, loved it!
