Ok I absolutely loved this. I was not expecting to enjoy this so much, but it just got better and better as it went along.
To be completely fair, the story does start a bit slowly. Seokga is cranky and grumpy as hell, and Hani gets too much of a kick out of driving him insane. But as they begin to work together, things really start to click. And around the halfway mark, I was all in. Their banter and chemistry is just so good! A sweeter side of Seokga comes out, and the angst starts to kick up as Hani realizes her past is going to catch up to her. The end was both action-packed and had me crying.
Things we love to see:
*Enemies to lovers
*Grumpy-sunshine
*Forced proximity
*Morally grey characters
*Crime-fighting duo
*Just one bed
I think if you're a fan of Loki (the character and/or the show), you're going to love this. It's both fun and entertaining, while also managing to tug on your heartstrings.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the preview. All opinions are my own.
