I really loved this book. There are much plot holes, which is awesome. This is a pure true love story set in a dark world. I do want to point out that the author is graphic in their descriptions, but they also dedicate time to the recovery of the characters.

Pretty good but the ending dragged on a bit with two kidnapping-esque instances happening one after the other. 
Before that though, I enjoyed it immensely. I like the character interactions. It's not a comedy, but there are light-hearted moments. 
I knew how some things were going to turn out, but I couldn't figure out how they would explain it, so it was satisfying in the end when identities were revealed.

Too much focus on rape for me. The female lead seemed weak and kinda annoying, while the male lead’s references to her just grated on my nerves. Lots of skimming. Probably not interested enough to read the next one.

AMAZING- I think I have found my emotional support book! The fantasy, romance, suspense, and spice were all perfectly balanced together. The brightness of Evangeline and the contrast of dark and gloomy Declan really is perfect. Although, this book is very dark and can be quite triggering for people, so if you’re affected by the content warnings then please don’t read this book! It would be an understatement  to say that this book made me shed a tear… I sobbed BUCKETS. Everything about this book is perfect and you should 100% read it. Strangers to lovers with forced proximity… AMAZING

4.5

Listen… this is a good book. Sometimes, but only sometimes, there was too much sex for me and I was thinking what happened to the plot line, but when we got back to the plot it was all worth it. And really, there’s only one real described sex scene, the others are more fade to black, but still enjoyable. Just not spicy spicy if that’s what others are looking for. No cliffhanger at the ending, but still so many questions are open. And I really like the world and I think book 3 is even about another character of the „friends“ group, which I‘m really looking forward to.
