⚠️CAUTION: this book may cause a lot of INTENSE FEELINGS⚠️

 

I had no idea what to expect going into this read, and this was a wild ride! I’ll say the first 25% of the book I was kind of disoriented with all the character names and figuring out who was doing what. This is an ensemble cast in book form, described as a soap opera vibes. To me it was giving 90s Cruel Intentions movie mixed with all the Pennyroyal Green books (minus the historical element) plus Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. 

 

Somewhere between 40% and 50% all the individual characters and storylines came together and I couldn’t put this down. 

 

There are rival families, established founding families of the town,  mysterious new comers, someone gets shot, there is vengeance, there is history between enemies, enemies to lovers, paranormal, sacrifices for  love, mystery and murder. It is SO MUCH! 

 

If you want a multi-character storyline with everything I just described, this is for you. And steam, did I mention steam? There are several couples to track, so buckle up!
