We met both these characters previously, but you don't need to have read the rest of series, but helps to understand the universe that's been created.

I liked fmc, how she was quiet and underestimated and we see her grow over the years as the book progresses. 

The mmc was a strong character that was slightly unhinged but you couldn't help but loved.

While the age gap was kept central, i kept forgetting about it. 

Also like how throughout this series, we keep seeing previous characters and storyline are interwoven

The story is a bit slow at first, especially with all of the back story. I feel like the first half could have gone a lot faster, but eventually it does speed up.

I live for Neva Altej’s book releases, but I was hesitant on this one due to the step-sibling aspect of it all. While that was definitely a component, it really didn’t end up being my main complaint with the book. I just didn’t love the characters like I usually do. It was still a fast-paced read with the tropes I expect from her books (possessive and hot headed mmcs are consistent and necessary, please and thanks), but I didn’t find myself sad that their story was over. Onto the next.
