This was book was pretty good, but I also expected more. I feel like the first half moved kinda slow and didn’t do the best job at building the tension. Like yes, obviously they are into each other but in the first four years there’s no ✨moments✨ just a lot of wondering if the other feels the same but then when they finally get together it’s like BAM BAM BAM. I will say that I like that they get together and the story doesn’t end there.
Speaking of the ending, that twist at the end needed more. Listen, I mainly read this book but found an audiobook copy which I put on as my partner and I drove home, of course it’s when the spice starts (around 65% in) and boyyyyyy do they give it to you. It kept going and going and going and before you know we were home and these two are still going! I’m here for spice but after almost 30ish minutes I was like lord let’s get back to the story. Even my partner who had listened to some of my other books with spice was like, 🤨🤨🤨. It did give us some good laughs tho. But anyways my point is you give us all that spice (which wasn’t the last of it) but then that twist felt soooo rushed, I think it was maybe only a chapter? I felt like the author could’ve given us more.
I enjoyed the plot but I feel like once the sex was introduced it was like that was that. I feel like I was left wanting to know more about how she started doing this killings. We learned about how he did and had glimpse of flashbacks of what lead to her starting but I still am like wait….so what happened. I guess you can fill in the blanks but I guess I just wanted more.
Either way I will definitely continue the series as I enjoy the concept! I was able to get Leather & Lark in audiobook so keep an eye out for that review!
