I did love the book! It got me hooked from the first chapter and I read it cover to cover in just a few days. There are two things that did bother me a little.
First off all I WISH the relationship between Violet and Xaden was more slow burn romance than sexual tension. I feel like they could have been such a power couple if there was a bigger focus on their true connection rather than how hot they find each other. I was also really excited when she started talking to Tairn, but as soon as Xaden and Violet got closer it seemed the bonding with Tairn got put on the back burner...
Another thing I didn't like was how important and exciting scenes just got skipped over... Some chapters end on an insane cliffhanger just to jump to the next day in the next chapter. And instead of letting us experience the action with Violet, there would basically be a recap of what happened. 

Other than that though I loved it! I had a lot of fun and I would recommend it.
