Now let me tell you something… let me tell you something.. this was an absolutely SMASHING debut novel. Hats of to Macy because the way I devoured this, like ate up every second of it. This had so of my favourite tropes and every single one was done well, like every single one. Not a single critique for any of them.
I love a good thriller romance and this book was perfect, it balances between keeping the mystery and intensity going, to keeping you on the edge of your seat waiting for answers, to the soft sweet moments and even the intense emotional moments so well. It had it all. Plus the spice, the spice was so good! I had to sit legs crossed the entire time reading the smutty scenes if you want to know how good they were.
Sofia was a fantastic main FMC, she was strong, fiery and really was unapologetic about everything. She is who she is and no one can convince her otherwise. She was a complex character and I loved the way she was written, I really understand her and her motives through the whole story. Love love loveeeee her!
And Maddox omg, he is such a sweet and caring MMC but when he’s ready to be stern and take the reins he will. I loved him so much, every word that came out his mouth really made me melt, literally into a puddle on the ground. Especially every interaction this man has with Valentina he was truly made to be a girl dad. I loved how he also handled Sofia, he gave her room to speak her mind but also take care of her, communicate with her and I just love this man.
One element I want to highlight that I really loved most was the sisterly bonds between the main FMC Sofia and her little sister Valentina. As the older sister I related to this one so hard, the protectiveness and the feeling of being a parent to your sibling. Macy captured this perfectly and I loved it so much, I could relate to Sofia so much when it came to putting her whole being into protecting and loving her sister.
All the twists and turns with this book left me flabbergasted, I couldn’t piece a single thing together and the plot twists would take me out of orbit every time. I loved that we would get elements foreshadowed but not enough to guess what was going to happen. This is definitely a go into it blind read as this is such a fun book to just be trying to guess what’s going to happen next at every turn.
If you are wanting a book full of twists and turns that leaves you with all the feels then I recommend this to you! Pick it up, it is truly a fantastic read.
*Thank you so much to author for sending me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.*
