Spoiler

I really enjoyed the story and it kept me on edge because of their mental journeys. I understand the desire for a happy ending in these stories. 
I just feel that for a more poetic or perfect ending for me would be if they all died or Liam had and Lanston and Wyn had to learn how to live without him and the emotional weight of that.

Pretty easy read. This book was actually spicier than I was expecting? Idk I thought it would be more a dark exploration of mental health, which I mean there is some of that, but also a fair amount of smut also, so fair warning if that isn't your thing. The characters were likable enough that there was also some underlying mystery to keep the pace going. Made it a pretty fast read. All in all was enjoyable.

This was good but a bit predictable. It didn’t quite hit all the way. I picked this up because I was told there was a hate aspect, but it never  felt like they hated each other. The twist was a little underwhelming. The murder mystery/detective aspect of this was a huge thread in the first half and then just fell off. The end was very sad but not enough to make me cry and I’m a CRIER. Overall, I did like the premise.

Read this book three times and now the audiobook and this book still has the power to bring the waterworks.
One of my all time favorites forever.
