Two stars because the author was kind enough to send this to me and I am grateful for that but I have to be honest. I had to DNF this book. The writing style just wasn’t it for me, very grateful to be sent it to read by the author but equally I dnf’d at around 45 pages.
There was no world building, the writing itself felt novice (I feel awful saying that but it is my honest opinion) and the consistent use of the same words over and over made it hard to want to read more. The smutty scenes also felt slightly pornish and I was so hoping for some real lesbian representation as a lesbian woman myself.
What spoilt it for me too was the reviews starting the use of the R word - that ableist style of mistake in 2024 is just not going to wash with me and to be honest as soon as I heard the word was featured in this book it was enough to put me off. We can do better especially those from the LGBTQ+ community.
I am so sorry to dislike this book as much as I did. I think over the writing style & techniques left a lot to be desired and it felt like it was trying to do something but missed the Mark.
This may seem like a hard review for a book I didn’t finish but it frustrated me. Perhaps it was a case of right book wrong time and I can come back and give a better review one day.

This book was actually really good. It just took me a while to get into it. I’m gonna continue the series in the future and see if the others are just as good.
