4 Stars cos the book actually kept me hooked. It’s a real page turner and i absolutely enjoyed reading it and was dying of curiosity to understand Cas and why he treated Jude the way he did.

I finally knew why, i understand and have sympathy for him but is it enough excuse to treat Jude that way for that long? No. Their relationship was so toxic that i wasn’t rooting for them to be together in the end.
