so glad I got this in before the end of the year.
it was sooo good. Ethan is such a good man, and I loved his and Maggie's journey throuout the book.
the mystery plot wasn't the most hooking one I've read, but it was such a fun read!

while I liked the book overall, it felt a bit all over the place with the mystery and the ending was kind of rushed.

I felt like the tropes in this book were all over the place and I didn't really like lachlan and larks dynamic. definitely prefer b&b, but I'm kind of looking forward to Fionn and Rose's story.

this was soooo good! loved the characters and the plot, was intrigued the entire time and can't wait to continue the series!
(the only reason this isn't 5 stars is because of my dislike of love triangle tropes in books)

4.0

this was better than the first book, although a bit repetitive. I already got a spoiler for the ending but didn't expect Kitt to be direct like that.
also what the fuck is up with calum??? and why didn't kai recognise him when Paedyn was reading her father's journal??? this is all so confusing. i think calum is a double agent or something, tho i can't seem to figure for which side.

I liked the banter between paedyn and kai, but did not like the sorta love triangle plot line.
I can see the similarities between this book and hunger games/red queen, but it didn't bother me so much.
overall I expected more from all the hype, but it was good.
