5.0

This book had me hooked from chapter one. I couldn't stop reading it and I finished it in a day. It helped me escape and I really really needed it. I cared deeply for Seven and I connected immediately with him. I wanted to learn about his past and I wanted him to be safe and happy. Havoc was another favorite character, really well written and complex and he had redeeming qualities. It took me a while to warm up to Caleb and Vortex but I still found them interesting and I liked being in their pov. The four of them had an intriguing dynamic and I can't wait to see them explore it more in the next books. I really wish I had book two right now. I'm very invested in the story and I want more of these characters. It's a very dark book so please check the warnings before reading. I personally had an absolutely amazing time reading it, it was exactly the kind of book I needed right now.
