The build-up and tension between Rafe and Penny was unmatched; a real slow burn that I loved, I just wanted more and more. I loved that she was the one person who was able to see through his façade and get to know the real him, and I loved that he became such a safe haven for Penny after she’d been through so much.
What I really appreciated with this is that we got to see so much of the side characters, we got more of a sense of who they are and their personalities and got to see characters from previous books continue to develop. Specifically Rory and her relationships with her brothers-in-law was such a joy and we’ll hopefully just get more of it when we get Gabe’s story next.
I will say it felt like the plot did seem to drop off as Rafe and Penny got together and the story became less about all the external drama that was going on in the beginning, some conflicts were solved off page making some of those plot points a little anticlimactic. That being said I still really enjoyed this duet and I cant wait for Gabe’s (and Nico’s) story.
