“Did you think I wouldn’t know you? I’d know you with any face. Any skin. Any hair. A thousand djin could disguise you from me and I’d still be able to find you just by the sound of your breath.”

* Oh man, it’s always something more and more intense 
* Noooo
* She is just filled with so much rage! And I don’t even blame her 
* These flashback chapters are going to be the death of me!
* There’s no way he doesn’t know, right?
* Okay, but this girl sure makes a lot of assumptions, not gonna lie 
* Um.. what??
* I know it happened in the past, but noooo

Content: violence, swearing (mild but some f-words), skip the spice chapter 36 (not descriptive but it’s there), a little scene in chapter 48 (again, not descriptive)

This story was so rich and so interesting! There was so much rage and hatred, and the exploration of revenge and vengeance was very intriguing. 

I think the only characters I actually liked in this story were her father and Noor. And maybe Mazin a little as well… heh 

Dania was not a very likable character. But she was easy to understand. Her pain and her motivation was so obvious. And I was glad to see her slowly heal and figure out who she wanted to be. 

My biggest issue with the story is that it felt like all the fight drained out of her way too abruptly. It’s like there are two versions of her and they don’t connect. It’s like the bridge between the two stages of her character is way too short. 

But regardless, I still enjoyed it! 

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the early ebook. All opinions are my own. 

“I would read you like a novel. From cover to cover, learning everything about you.”
“Leisurely, only taking me out when you felt like it?”
“Is that how you read your novels, Mazin? How uninspiring. No, I mean una fierce frenzy, by candlelight, devouring you until I finished every page and committed it to memory, and then I’d flip right back to the front and start again from the beginning.”

“I’d read you like a scripture, a prayer. And all the worship I felt, I’d heap at your feat.”

“You know, you don’t have to pay someone back if they help you. Not everything is a transaction.”
