📖𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥

Hear me out on this one. This started out very strong for me, but dragged a bit in the middle. However, by the end I was smile while reading, and even cried a bit at the end. This story show just how powerful love is. 

Alek is a very flawed character, but as his story slowly comes out, I was able to understand him better, and connect with him. I adore Ian and seeing the lengths he’d go to for Alek. I am being vague purposefully, because I don’t want to give anything away. This book definitely had quite a few twists I didn’t see coming. It’s worth the read! 

“I love you and all of your dark corners and sharp edges.”
