I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I typically don’t enjoy split perspective books but I find this one is well written. It’s very easy to keep track of what’s going on because (for the most part) all of the perspectives are being shared linearly. The characters are complex and deal with real  issues that you find yourself relating to, or at the very least understanding. If Urban Romances are your cup of tea, read it, and if you haven’t tried it out before (like me) definitely read it!

The only reason I do give this a 4 ⭐️ is due to the (SPOILERS):

handing of Dream’s pregnancy. I personally didn’t enjoy how it felt like most of the characters were guilting or forcing her into keeping the pregnancy when she was considering abortion. The way Demon handled it was not for me, it felt like it came out of a place of possession and not genuine care. This definitely affected my feelings towards Demon but the way the pair were able to reconcile atoned for it!

All in all, I love this book and I would love to have more stories that take place in this universe!

I wanted to like this book more but, I could not STAND how the MMCs talked to the FMC. I like a dark romance but all that telling them to stfu was too much for me.
