I loved everything about this book! At first when I began reading, I didn’t realize that it takes place in the same world as Icebreaker, and was pleasantly surprised when I began reading familiar names and scenes full of the characters I had already come to love from reading that story. Differently from Icebreaker, Wildfire’s summer camp plot left me yearning for the days of summer, swimming, bonfires, and a love story like Aurora and Russ. While I enjoyed Anastasia and Nate’s story from Icebreaker, something about this book left me feeling differently. There wasn’t a time when I felt like the spice and physical connection between the main characters was overshadowing their actual romance. The balance between the small and subtle contributions to their falling in love and their physical connection to once another was balanced beautifully. I would have given 5 stars - but I had to take off something for the cringeworthy term of endearment “sweetheart.” I don’t know what it was, but each time I read that I had to cringe - I just felt like using that term didn’t fit the characters well. Other than that, perfect story, writing, characters, and book overall!

I was so surprised at how much I enjoyed the fact that this book all took place over the course of ONE DAY! But even still, this book was phenomenal. I never once felt bored reading this book, and found myself on the edge of my seat waiting for the enemies to become lovers (IYKYK). I loved this book!

I adored this book. I could not put it down. Blake Hamilton had me literally giggling & kicking my feet. The vibe of the book is so light hearted and fun, it’s the perfect summer read. The story is so fun, but had its serious moments. It’s a good mix and gives you ALL the feels.

I simply adored this book. I flew through it, it’s such an easy read because you get completely lost in the story. If you’re looking for a fun, light-hearted, summer read, this should be your immediate go to. I was never once bored while reading this book. Simply amazing. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

I LOVED this book! I flew through it. It is su ch an easy read, and a great love triangle book is always a hit for me. The ending seemed a little rushed, but upon reflection there didn’t seem to be any loose endings. I was happy(ish) with the ending but wish the book continued!

I enjoyed this book a lot. It didn’t take me long to finish. I read it a lot quicker than I anticipated. The story itself is beautiful, heartbreaking, and enjoyable to read. However, it lost points in the rating because as enjoyable and beautiful a story it was, it was also cringey beyond belief. Some of the things said by the two main characters were just so crazy to me. I’m all for deep, passionate, and beautiful love. But there are lines where it turns from beautiful to cringey and over the top. It also lost points for the INCREDIBLY long chapters. However, still an amazing yet gut-wrenching read.

This book was incredible. I read the first quarter of the book over about a month (because of my schedule, I didn’t have much time to read). But once I finally had a day free I picked it up and started reading, and read over 300 pages in one day until the book was finished. I couldn’t believe the turn of events that this book took…..absolutely insane. Just a warning that the ending of the book with have you screaming your head off and possibly crying. The very last page made me audibly gasp. AMAZING. Probably my favorite book in the trilogy.

Loved this book! It was a little harder for me to get into than the first in the series (A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder). However, the last third of the book was so fast paced, intense, and had me on the edge of my seat! The entire book was good, but it was definitely not as good as the first which is why I only gave 4 stars. It was still incredible and has me excited to read the third book!

I love this book! Do  not let the cover fool you though…this is very much an ADULT read! 

 I loved the characters, the plot, the progression. I never felt bored reading this book and constantly kept wanting more. There were, however, times when I felt as if the spice was overpowering the actual story. As much as I enjoyed the spice factor of this book and felt it added to the developing romance between the characters, I would have enjoyed a bit more of the two of them just being together. The book is over 400 pages long, and I easily could have read 400 more of Anastasia and Nathan’s story!

This book was incredible! I found myself unable to put it down. My busy schedule is the only thing that keep me from sitting down and reading it in one go! Twists and turns with every turn of a page. I found myself being unable to guess what was coming next.
