There are some pacing issues, but it was still enjoyable and quick to read! I would’ve never predicted the end so hopefully the next book stays focused on that.

I can’t believe how complete the story feels being only 150 pages! There’s backstory, lore, spice, but it doesn’t lack emotion either. You can really feel what these characters are going through and really wanted them to end up happy together. I’m definitely going to read more from this author!

This was really fun and I hope Ali continues with the paranormal romance because I feel like it fits her story telling so much better than a normal contemporary. However, I had a few issues with the story, mainly at the end when a certain main character should’ve been on their knees groveling for forgiveness and that didn’t happen. Also the subplot with Serena was kind of annoying until we actually learn what happens. It’s almost like so many things are happening in the beginning, but only start focusing in on the actual plot towards the end. This story also would’ve been so much better if it was duel POV. We get a little bit of Lowe’s thoughts at the beginning of the chapters, but the secret that Ali is hiding with not having his POV is very obvious to the reader and having a few chapters with his POV would’ve just enhanced the story so much more.

Who hasn’t had the thought of getting locked in at their job after hours with their hot coworker and having a special moment between each other that leads to great sex in your office??

This should’ve been longer than 90 pages, but it still was really good

Really fun short read that’s smutty but also has great world building. I can’t wait for the rest of the series!

Really interested to see where this goes since the external plot was left unresolved! The story is super interesting and unique, while still being super smutty. I really enjoyed how complex and real Echo and Adam felt despite being fictional/other worldly. Excited for the rest of the series!!
