I don’t think I would’ve picked up this book if I hadn’t watched the series last summer. In fact, when it came out and I realized it was based on a book, I wanted to read it but it was only in German, so I was very excited to see Berkley had it translated! The show and book are very well adapted so if you’ve seen the show or only read the book then consume the other media, you won’t be surprised! 

That said, are Ruby and James kinda toxic together? Yes. Is that more recognizable as a 31-year-old woman vs. the age I would’ve more likely enjoyed the story even more? Probably. Will I still read the next two books and watch the series? Duh, they end on a cliffhanger!

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
