I can't give this 5 stars purely because this is the first of a series and I have expectations on the subsequent and currently unreleased sequels.
So just know this is basically a 5-star read for me.
Everything about it was my jam: the relationship dynamics, the hot political climate, the grumpy x sunshine vibes, THE BANTER. An urban dystopian SFF with an alternate-universe Seattle, an AEAB (All Empaths Are Bad) movement and all the prejudiced tension that comes along with it set up as the backdrop for a high-profile murder investigation?
You couldn't take my money fast enough.
I started off with a copy from the library and made it my mission to own a physical copy before I was even done reading it.
Since finishing, I'd been trawling online for the sequel to pop up so I could pre-order it and immediately dropped all my hard-earned dollar bills once it finally did.
Do yourself a solid and pick up a copy so that I don't have to be the only person dying in wait for the story to continue.
Also, Allie Therin, in the off-chance that you or someone from your team comes across this review, please put me down under would be terribly grateful to get hands on an ARC for the next one in the series.
