To me this book was just… okay…..  I really loved her Crave series but Wolff does have a tendency to over write, she has so many chapters in her books, this one had 93 chapters + epilogue 🫠. And nothing even remotely interesting happened until chapter 49…. 49!! 

A lot of the chapters leading up to 49 were a repetitive inner monologue by the FMC. How many did times did she tell us she has been trapped on the island since birth? That anytime anyone graduates the school and leaves, they die because their powers are too much for them after being suppressed for so long? Or that Jude just randomly ghosted her?… the list goes on and on…and on. This book is 500 pages… but why? This book could have EASILY
been 300-350 and been plenty informative. Also the epilogue doesn’t make any sense.. it’s like it’s trying to leave you on this cliffhanger but nothing interesting enough happened to make me want to read the next one 🥲


I love the world building Wolff does and she has an amazing imagination but the over writing and the constant repetition of stuff… only for nothing to be happening… at all, really tends to put me off of her future books.

This was pretty fun and quick to get through. I had a pretty good time with it for the most part. The build-up for me was a little slow. I was also a bit confused about Clementine and Jude's relationship as there wasn't a ton of back story or flashbacks to build it. The fruit names was weird to me.

I want to say thank you to Tracy Wolff, NetGalley and entangled publishing, for this amazing opportunity to get this arc.
First of all. This book is AMAZING! I literally could not put it down. I was reading it so fast, that I had to hit the breaks to slow down.
Nightmare it is. From beginning to the end, it’s one big nightmare.
I felt like everyone died! So don’t get too attached like I did.
Friendnemies to lovers? Is that what you call it? Friends, but no longer friend and they became lovers. Yeah.
It’s not like romanticizing on the characters. It’s more realistic. One bad thing leads to another.
But getting to know Remy and Izzy even more. My gosh loved it!!! Izzy has a sense a humor, and remy getting to know him more.
Clementine getting to know her, and for who she truly is, is like coming of age.
Jude is this emo type of guy, who keeps to himself but lets in a handful of people.
Simon, ember, Luis, Mozart different paranormals that we did not see in the crave series.
There’s sirens, phoenix, manticore, and so much more.
It’s nothing like the crave series. It’s completely different.
