Slight spoiler warning: I was able to make a prediction based on the cover art. This was really frustrating as it feels like watching a movie after the trailer spoils something. Ultimately, I found the book to be a page-turner, but the story didn’t blow me away. Ruby was the most interesting character to read about, but I never became terribly invested in Cam or Jules. By the end, it just felt like we were getting twists for the sake of it as opposed to anything that would feel gratifying. 

This may be the weirdest/whiniest part of my review, but the cursing just felt excessive. I have nothing against cursing, but at a certain point, it loses its weight.
