I’m not entirely sure how to rate this book. 3.5 🌟 I think (may change after I’ve thought about it more)
While I liked it, I didn’t love it. I think that I was left wanting more development all the way around. Right when I felt I was getting to know a character it felt like they didn’t particularly matter any more. And I felt like the story really was headed somewhere but then ended quite abruptly (I did however love the ending, I just had questions from other things in the book I needed answered). Also I didn’t really love any of the characters accept perhaps Julian (the dad).
The whole concept of this story was amazing though, and I love how Debra writes real life characters/problems with a supernatural twist in her plots. This book was almost there. Like when you order a 7up but all they have is sprite.
I do have to thank DebraCastaneda 🫶🏻❤️ for the arc of this book. Again I did like it, it just wasn’t my favorite of her works.
On another note, extreme love and props to her cover artist 🤩 while not my favorite of her books it is my favorite of her covers.
