I thought this book was really good. I'm not always a huge fan of dual POV's but the way that this author did it, I thought was flawless. In the short amount of pages Ryan Douglass had to tell a fully fledged story, I was hooked, and I was invested until the end. I absolutely loved the character depth and development, I just thought everything about this book was perfection.
