Really cute, and way fun! Will 100% be reading the sequel as soon as I can get my hands on it but it was not my easiest read. I initially got it because the author is so sweet and personable but I really did enjoy it. That being said there were some parts that I cringed at just casue it was worded weirdly or the dialogue felt 'this has to happen for plot reasons' rather than because that would actually come up in conversation. The romance was cute,
gotta love a one bed, healing the others wounds trope
and there was a part at the very end that threw me through a loop. I was shook! 

The 'villans' of the story are a really cool idea, but didn't get as flushed out as I would have liked. With it being a duology I worry about how many threads will have to be left untied because there just wasnt time to finish them. 

Anyway, looking forward to seeing the end of the story! And to seeing more from this author!
