4.5 stars! 

I really enjoyed this novella! I didn't really love Powerless when I read it in February. I liked the characters and primes but I honestly felt like that book was a mix of books that have already been written and loved...BUT we are not here for a review of Powerless... 

This book held its own! I really loved learning about Adena and I think everyone deserves a love story. This book was a fast burn but I loved almost every second! I loved being back in the slumbs and seeing how the characters support each other and survive. 

I am also really intrigued by the love interest Mac and I hope to see him in future books in the series if I decide to continue with the series! I really like him and I think he has potential to be a very important character! 

I really hope that Adena is still alive...(I don't think she is but I can hope) I think her life got cut way too short and I thought that she had potential to be really essential to this series.


I really enjoyed this love story and I was really rooting for them despite already knowing the outcome of powerless...I would have loved a full series with these characters I would have ate this up as a spin off series...but it is what it is...
