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.

Easy 5 stars. The world building alone is fantastic.  Definitely check trigger warnings, this is not a happy go lucky book, but it had me ask the way hooked.  Can't wait to start the next one

Extremely sad and disappointed at the sheer volume of sexual assault & rape used as a plot device.

Amount of spice: 🔥🔥
Explicitness: 🌶️🌶️.5
POV: Dual, 3rd Person

This was a re-read and I’m so glad that I did. I had forgotten what a chokehold this series had on me. It is the perfect series for when I need to feel a similar high to what ACOTAR gave me. This was an emotional story, written beautifully and full of mystery, romance and action.

Declan’s tough, stoic and intense nature perfectly compliments Evie’s sunshine, gentle temperament. The romance between them literally made me giddy. Declan very much has an ‘I hate everyone but you’ type of attitude and Evie is selfless, sweet and is the kind of character you can easily love. The supporting characters are also fantastic and I love all the relationships Evie and Declan have with their friends and family.

Lastly, this has the touch her and die and who hurt you tropes - double whammy.

Quick note: Please check the TWs for this one - there are a few very heavy themes throughout the book.
