3.5 Stars
Cliffhanger titles are tough to review without spoilers. So, this is going to be a shorter, and a little more vague review.
I enjoyed the first 20% of this, and the last 25%. Unfortunately, I lost some of my engagement with the story in the middle portion. From the blurb, and from the very first page before the book starts, you know this is a retelling of Les Liaisons Dangereuses and I wanted a little more of the game playing. And, while it was there, it took a little bit of a back seat to the rest of the story, at least in my opinion.
As always, I enjoyed the writing and the characters, as KA Linde is one of my go to authors. The plot, as I mentioned, lost me a little in the middle. However, by the time I got to the end of the story, I was engaged and the cliffhanger was a good one.
I can't wait for the conclusion of this story, and I definitely recommend it.
