Birdie, violet and Alaric had a messy love story. An evil step mother, step sisters in a secret relationship, and a man who they desperately need help from. While Alaric is reluctant to help them he quickly finds himself protective over birdie. Violets mother is truly evil and out to hurt birdie as much as possible. I found the initial dynamic between the three of them interesting where Violet and Alaric were almost competing over her but I really loved it when they decided all three of them belonged together. It was a great quick read with lovable characters.
