4.0
Still deciding on whether it’s a 3 or 4 so it’s a 3.5 stars for now.
A first for me, RH is not a genre I go for so I can’t compare it to her other series or to similar style books like a few of the other reviews seem to mention.
I also must have missed the paranormal part in the synopsis so that made the ending more surprising.
It’s an easy read, a little tame considering the description and full of mystery. I definitely wasn’t expecting that ending either. Unlike the last book I read, this ending peaked my interest enough that I may just give the second book a go when it’s released.
The Author’s note made it that little special for me. Being a victim of bullying herself she created a character who stood up to her bullies just how she wish she could have. I’m not a fan of bullying books personally but I can see the value. It still doesn’t sit well the whole romancing of bullying love interests but they can be entertaining at times (especially when strong female lead characters can hold their ground) and ever since my Pen Douglas book binge (which I adored btw despite the bullying) I continue to keep getting these recommendations.
