It’s cute, but super slow. I feel like this book could’ve been much shorter.

The spice was just meh, idk Enzo just didn't do it for me in the spice scenes. Other than that loved the story, but wanted more on the whole Kevin thing and more on Trinity and Sylvester. I figured the story out quite early in the book, so that’s a minus one star as well.

Justice for Snowball and Boxer. A good book about brainwashing and the ultimate need and want of power.

I was so skeptical about this book, and honestly more than half of the book is slow paced. But oh my, after that it just gets so good. Such a great story. So many unanswered questions, so keep the second book close by.

Wow! What a fantastic book. Being myself from the Baltics and not knowing of this disastrous event, the book hit close to home. Thinking of all the lost souls and everyone affected.
