I was really trying to push through this one because it's not actually that bad, but more and more my internal thoughts as I was reading were just: "this is so tedious." 

I don't think it's just that it's a generic YA-feeling enemies to lovers book because although I generally dislike those, I went into this one with a pretty open mind. The cloak and dagger setup and the magic shade didn't feel particularly original, but that's not something that I need in order to enjoy a book. I need characters that I'm invested in and can understand, and in this book I think the characters are all a little too thin. 

The side characters are entirely interchangeable and kind of irrelevant. The leads are both a little frustrating to follow with their lack of insight. I was particularly annoyed when

Ransom's internal monologue was like "you drew first blood, now it's war" or whatever when he had been stalking this girl since her mother was killed and her house burned down and he was actively in the process of killing her, literally halfway through it, when she stabbed him to escape. You started this, buddy, not her. She had every right to stab you.

The transition from enemies to oggling each other (banter is not enough to make a romance!) was not convincing for me.

There's one reveal I've been waiting for (I'm 99% sure I'm right) and I considered trying to read more to get to that point, but I've already sunk about 9 hours into this audiobook and I don't want to spend any more time on it.

Audiobook narrators are both good, but the male narrator is better and the female narrator's male voice is not great.
