“Whatever I am, it does not measure to you.”

Tell me how even when I know a betrayal is going to happen, this one STILL rocked me to my core 😩

I ate this book up like it was a French toast platter served as my final meal and I loved every second of it. I was immediately hooked on the story and honestly cannot wait to continue the series.

Adara is the perfect combination of naïve and strong. She makes mistakes but can also hold her own. Watching her fight for herself while everyone else only considers her for her power was just 🤌🏼

Evren was such a great morally grey character and the reveal at the end floored me. Throughout the whole book I told myself he was hiding something and definitely had my suspicions to what it was, but

was still shocked at the confirmation and how deep his betrayal went.

This was seriously such a fun quick read and truly proves that you don’t need to write a 500+ page book for it to be enjoyable. 10/10 would read again 🙂‍↕️
