I felt like the crescendo was too early in the book but the first 40-50% was absolutely 5 stars for me. So much tension and what a great set-up. I wanted to love the rest, and I did like it, it was just hard to top the first half of the book.
This is my second book by this author and this one felt a lot more like a dark romance (definitely more than Captured did) and I really liked the forbidden, taboo aspects of their relationship. This was a situation where both had something to run from and found solace in one another.
Lex is a pretty awful person and doesn’t deserve Selena BUT that’s never really why we’re here so… irrelevant, I guess! I really liked these two together. They brought things out in one another that no one else could. In the end, they were pretty perfect for each other.
I’ll definitely be continuing on with the others in the Ride or Die series eventually!
