This was a really fun novel to read however most of what I like about this book happens towards the end So I can't really speak about it without it being spoiling it. Go into this book completely blind like I did and it's a fun ride.

i sped through this in a day!

thoughts while reading

p10: it’s taken me a whole 10 pages to realise she’s writing all this down

p17: well it was either gonna be adam or kenji

p36: omg it’s uno reverse tower of babel

p45: this’ll be warner

p46: oh shit

p85: oh me the arguing is getting kinda funny considering

these two are apparently endgame. i mean i know why, cause everyone loves a good enemies to lovers, but i’m also loving trying to work out why

p93: so

we hate adam

why?

p108: warner touching her might well be because he’s attracted to her but it’s definitely a power play too. he knows she’s starved for attention and will unconsciously cling to any intimacy

p116: adam better not start power playing too. i should probably just ignore my preconceived notions based off spoilers otherwise they may spoil the experience

p120: 19? bloody hell warner must’ve had a tortured childhood to be this calculating already

p147: KENJI

p165: damn girl, you are powerful

p176: adam is so brave

p184:

WARNER CAN TOUCH HER TOO???

how?? what is the science behind this?

p222: 😂 james is really cracking me up

p254: warner is so delulu

I enjoyed this book a lot! I look forward to reading the next one in the series and learning a bit more about the characters. My only criticism is that I didn’t really rate the ending (but I appreciated why it needed to be this way to lead into the next book).

I really enjoyed this book! It was a great next read from the powerless series. I do think that in the beginning any of crossed out text could be explained better, I did have to google it just to understand what it meant. Will be continuing the series.

Starts really slow but lots of character building, so giving it 3 stars with a hope of more plot moving forward.  It's got my interest in where things go from here...
