4.5/5

My mistake for not reading this duet sooner. This was more than what I expected.

I really appreciated Mara's bravery and resilience. Even though life has thrown shit events at her, she knows better things are coming. And if not, she knows that she will survive because she’s made it this far. She’s also the type of character that settles for less, because she thinks that she deserves less, but I'm excited too see the character development in the second book. 

I like how her relationship with Cole is developing. It’s not only about her coming to terms with her past, but also for him to discover who he really is, behind the mask that fools almost everyone, and that ego. They both found the someone with whom they can finally be comfortable around. 

The ending was not what I had in mind. I hope the second book is going to bring even more action and tension, and I can’t wait to see how it ends. I just wish we had more of Alastor Shaw, but I'm guessing that's for the second book.
