Wat een lekker verhaal. Het is heerlijk geschreven (en vertaald), met een continue opbouw in spanning. Op het einde nog een cliffhanger waardoor ik meteen door wil lezen.
Enige minpuntje was dat de love triangle een beetje onnodig was.

This book's plot twists!!!!!!!! I liked the plot of this book but there was more language than what i'm usually comfortable, there were things that were just unessacary  to the plot in there, will not be continuing the series

There is mention of a lesbian relationship, and mild teenage fantasy as well as heterosexual romance.

This story was a fun read! It took me awhile to differentiate the Hawthorne grandsons from each other but was easy once I got into the book.

I recommend reading this in longer sittings or in whole instead of short sittings. I enjoyed it more when I read for longer.

Sometimes the writing was cringey for example

Whenever Avery’s friend Max refused to swear

but overall I enjoyed this book.
