ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK‼️‼️

This gave me anthology vibes not that I’m mad about it. I did enjoy most of the mini stories and about few of them I was bit confused or just wasn’t grabbing my attention. These stories have love, betrayal and revenge but what’s jaw dropping is how Octavia pieces it together to have you saying “I want more, this is not enough”. My only downside I have is I wished this focused more on Olivia. I was too invested in her. Her whole demeanor had me clutching the sides of my sheets. I just had a whole different view on how this was going to go.

I be so focused when reading a book by Octavia. The way she develops her characters grabs your attention whether you love or hate them. She reels you in and would have you like “What’s going on in that head of hers” then have you questioning yourself because how so intrigued you are. This is a novella so be advised that it’s pretty short and would be over before you know. You would want more. I give this 4.0⭐️.
