Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
3.0

This book has the dubious honour of being far too long, while the relationship within seemed to move at light speed. I cannot get past the fact that I don't believe Lou would have fallen so quickly for Reid (or vice versa), given she hated absolutely everything he stood for and believed in. Mahurin just didn't do a good enough job of making me believe it.
Overall, I expected to enjoy this a lot more (everyone I follow has been just raving about it!), but it just wasn't the book for me. Too long, the world building too underdeveloped, the interesting characters not enough to fill the holes in the plot.
