Cruel Money by K.A. Linde

5.0

Okay, so I had some prior knowledge about some of the characters in this book because I started with the Seasons Series which meant I was cringing with some of the interactions between Natalie and the Crew right from the start. I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop and the anticipation almost killed me. I was sucked right in and loved/hated every moment in the best way. There is a reason cruel is part of the title, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Even with having an idea where it was going, this book just kept me enthralled the entire time. I fell in love with Natalie and Penn! I actually really dislike when a couple's story is a trilogy because I'm impatient and want my HEA by the end of book 1, but Natalie and Penn are so worth it. Plus, where the author leaves off at the end made me wonder how these two would find each other again. Don't worry, I obviously stayed up all night so I could get through book 2 and start book 3! Haha. Obviously I'd recommend this book!
