I’m starting to learn that Pam Godwin can write anything and I’ll lap it up. 

A phenomenal start to a dark, gripping series (where every book is a standalone).

Check the TW for this one folks, it’s dark, it’s disturbing and it’s spicyyyy.

I’m just not over how cleverly intertwined all these books are. It’s absolute magic.

Honestly, these are just SO easy to sit and read. They’re cute, they have such fantastic relationships and characters and some really nice, inclusive, character building. I’m actually a little upset that there are only 4, I could read so many more.

A super easy to follow plot and I’m such a sucker for big, overprotective and inexperienced MMC. This got me right out of a slump and I’m absolutely going to be reading the rest

Lovely little additions to the series! It’s recommended to read this as 6.5, but the last 2 stories really should be read after book 7 so I’d definitely class it more as 7.5.

It’s no secret that i absolutely adore Sue Lynn Tan’s writing, it’s lyrical and absolutely visually stunning. You just picture yourself stood there with the characters in these beautiful worlds she’s weaved.

I’m ecstatic that Tan’s first foray into the Adult Genre has not disappointed and that beautiful writing just continues to flow. Character growth is such a strength for this author, and both Liyen and Zhangwei have wonderful storylines. Disconnected but then entwined in such a gorgeous way, with the development of their relationship and the truth behind it feeling like such a natural step and not forced. 

I want to thank NetGalley, Harper Collins UK, and Sue Lynn Tan for the opportunity to read this as an ARC. The review is my own opinion and I have given this freely.

A frantic, insane rollercoaster. I loved every page and thank god we can start considering IF as a blip.

I’ll probably do a reread and another more comprehensive review once my brain has stopped screaming.
