This one was okay for me.
In the beginning, I was loving it and eating it up! The pacing was fast, I loved getting to know the characters and the setup for the plot was super intriguing. As the story went on, I found myself not liking our main girl - Iris. I just didn't understand why these guys - Gabriel, Baron & Silas - liked her so much.
I felt like the story went too fast at the end because the big "thing" that the book and characters were working towards turned out to be anticlimactic. I was looking forward to how this was going to be resolved, but then I blinked and it was already over. I wish that we got a bit more time with the characters and that the big event wasn't so rushed, but overall it was a quick read.
I am curious about book two and where their story will go from here because the ending was very put together and didn't leave anything open for hints about book 2.
