adventurous
dark
mysterious
tense
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

The writing of this book is incredibly addictive. It made me want to read without stopping and it's been a while since i stayed up very late because i wanted to read on. I love how the author creates suspense around small details. I don't know what exactly to think about the romance. Noah is clearly somewhat of a red flag. Actually saying somewhat is just me being nice he is definitely a red flag. A guy who has a major alpha male complex and is an arrogant playboy and breaks all the hearts has a "reputation", until one day a girl changes everything blah blah. I don't particularly like that trope. There are some more problematic elements like stereotyping, slut shaming, girl on girl hate, the don't need makeup, you're different not like the other girls trope as well. I don't like it when he starts fights on her behalf and thinks its a cool thing to do. Its not. Anna and Aiden are as crappy as they sound and I hate their spoilt rich entitled guts. Specially when they did what they did to Jamie. Jamie might be one of my favourite characters. I LOVE Daniel. He is such a nice older brother i could cry he is always there for Mara I am not okay i need them to be happy. I didn't know before starting the book that Mara's mom's side is Indian so that was a nice surprise. The book did creep me out a little ngl. Specially anything with bathrooms and mirrors freaks the shit out of me. There's a lot of that in these books :) The story plot is pretty interesting and im eager enough to jump right into the next book. That ending though????? did not see that coming at all somehow i- i am scared to read on. *does it anyway*
