A review by katyanaish
The Pact by Karina Halle

3.0

This was a 5-star read, that became a 2-star read when the hero was an unforgivable coward and dumbass, that managed to pull out to a 3.5-star read at the end with a "redemption" that felt quick and cheated.

I'm sorry, but

Spoiler

when the hero has done something shitty and cowardly to the heroine, getting in an accident doesn't get to serve as a reset button. He did a shit thing, and he still has to man up and earn his way back into a relationship with her. But he doesn't. He shows up - after months - and she cries at takes him back. No debate, no discussion, no expression of how hurt she was...no real repercussions for James, even, who was a complete fucking douche.

I really liked this until the last 15-20% or so. *sigh*
