If you like ACOTAR’s abysmal character development and erotica marketed as smut for young adults then you’ll love this equally mediocre book with side characters who exist only to make the dull heroine come back to life (rip Heather, you just weren’t important enough). There were so many hole plots that it’s only inevitable that the author put all her writing skills into the sex scenes to fill out Remi’s hole. People say it’s ‘slow burn’ but Remi falls in love with Hale in the first chapter because he’s just ‘oh gosh darn handsome but no I must hate him for the PLOT’. 

And Remi practically died 2x. Take a hint girl. The fact that Hale and Remi had sex after a probably traumatic and sad scene is the pinnacle of what this author thinks good relationships look like. Remi has a ‘fae’ look that she has been struggling to remove for 13 years? Don’t worry it’s immediately solved with a good dick because the author decided the book was getting too long.

This was a hate read and I’ve read fan fiction with more chemistry and fleshed out characters.
