okay i’m not going to lie, when Lux was first introduced i genuinely thought to myself who the f*ck does she think she is? (i know now, she’s that girl), but then i thought back to all my very morally grey mmc’s and quickly had to shut my mouth. if i can swoon over them, i sure as hell can swoon over her. 
i really loved the plot of this book, it was unlike anything i have read before. its your typical it girl x bad boy, except the it girl is just as grumpy as our bad boy… and rightfully so. her brother is a struggling addict and her parents have little involvement, interest, or care. slate’s parents are gone and his sister is chronically ill leaving him as her sole caregiver and provider. 
the revenge quickly unfolded but the betrayals continued on as they used each others weaknesses as collateral. 
i love how much the two had in common regardless of being “worlds apart” as stated so many times. i love it when the characters just can’t stay away from each other. slate’s protectiveness over his loved ones was EVERYTHING.. (his revenge plot at the end? chef’s kiss.) 
overall, it was extremely entertaining and once i got into it, i couldn’t put it down. i’m super excited for the next book! 
(can we please get a briar book pleaseeeee)
