Not in my Bingo Card this year that Rina Kent will eventually made me cry ....
But lowkey, I cried whilst reading this book :') The way that it was hella intense and just made me so frustrated because honestly, I don't think I can blame anyone for their situation.
At first, the first half was a tad draggy to me, probably because the way Creigh is with Annika (at night) is my least fav out of all there is in the world to read, but I liked the buildup from each characters, including the ones around them. And when we finally find the truths behind Creigh's past, I think this is why, besides the romance (which I think is giving despite I sometimes cringe at some of the sentences written hahahah) I liked the psychological aspects of the story and how each and every one of them struggle with something so dark they ended up the way they are.
And the most part? I liked the relationship between all the characters combined. Not to say its the best, but I keep coming back for more because I want to know what happens to the rest of them in their books. And I just CANT WAIT to get to Lan's and Nikolai's book cause I think I will be whipped (i already am based on the tidbits we get).
So, yes as much as this can be a standalone, do read them in order as there will be multiple incidents that will affect and relate to the characters arc at the given time. Next is Jeremy's and Cecilia's and they're both... something haha. We'll see how it goes.
3.5🌟 cause this made me cry lol
