I hesitated to pick this one up, and it took me a minute to return to the Rine Kent universe. Honestly, I suck at reading only one author back to back without getting a little burnt out. But what really pushed me out was that I didn't love the previous duet I had read, and it took forever to read that duology. It was Johnathon's book. I am trying to decide if I like Kent's standalone reads/interconnected standalones more than duologies because so far, I always leave them wanting more or feeling like they are just dragging out and wishing it was just one book. But I'm happy this is the duology I returned to. It was so good. These characters were amazing. I loved seeing Reina! I have yet to read many books with the amnesia trope, but I loved seeing this play out. She was determined to discover her past but also wanted to improve. It was a chaotic good time, and I can't wait to see Rai's book.

I wasn’t a fan of this story (unfortunately). I’m aware of the fact that we’re supposed to be in the dark with this one — our MC has lost her memories & therefore we’re trying to piece things together as she does — but I wish there was more time spent on Reina & Asher’s relationship before it started to develop? I understand that he saved her that one night, but it seemed as though Reina went from mistrusting him to lusting after him overnight (which confused me)?
