Such a great mysterious book!! I swear, I felt the emotions of Claire!! I loved the "realness" of emotions within the book!! It made me bond to the characters more. Add to it the steamy scenes

**ARC was given in exchange for an honest review**
I absolutely loved this book. I devoured it in 2 days because I just couldn't put it down. (I read it on my phone, and I read it EVERYWHERE) We first meet Claire, who is very relatable, real and so down to earth. I just loved her from the very first page. She is witty, charming and captivating. (I can honestly say, I could see a little part of myself in Claire, which I felt was what made the connection with her so honest) Claire goes through some shit throughout this book, and I thought she handled herself very well. As the story unfolds you can really see why she chooses the paths that she does.
Enter Mason! Where to begin with Mason? He's gorgeous, alluring, dark, mysterious, possessive, commanding, dangerous. Did I mention Gorgeous? The way that Aurelia described him left no gaps to be filled in. (She gave you all of him from top to bottom) and the Chemistry between the two of them...
You will definitely catch yourself biting your bottom lip right alongside Claire... I know I did. (Is it possible, to love an Alpha Male to the point where you just want to jump into a book and take the place of the main character?) Aurelia makes you crave and yearn for Mason, as well as appreciate Claire for all that she is. I found myself just obsessed with the entire story.
Holy Smoke Show Batman!
Aurelia supplies you with danger, spice, and the perfect dash of humor throughout this book. There are multiple storylines that unfold throughout the book, and I was definitely curious as to how they would all come together. It doesn't end in a cliffhanger (I mean, I love a good cliffhanger but I felt like this was the perfect way to end this first book) I can honestly say that if you read this book, you will be gripped with every part of your being, begging for more. I cannot wait to see book 2 has to offer.
Aurelia Knight did such an amazing job with this story. I look forward to what comes next for Mason and Claire, as well as what else she has in store in the future!

WOW! I could not put this book down, I had to keep reading "one more chapter"! It had cuteness, witty banter, some ghost pepper spice and mystery. I thought I had figured out what was happening/the twists but boy was I wrong. I was not ready for that ending and I already want more!!

2.5 ⭐️. The writing drove me nuts. Poor editing & the book was very predictable to me.

Spicy, protective, suspense filled, thriller-ish book? Yes please!
I started reading this from a small blurb from a tiktok that I had seen. I had no other insight on this book, I went in blind and let me tell you, this book did not disappoint. 10/10 would recommend! This book had me laughing, biting my lip and had my brain searching for answers until the very last page. The sexual tension/chemistry and suspense was next level.

So the first half was pretty slow and felt like it dragged a little… But then things started to ramp up for the last half and it got super fucking hot. Shit starts hitting the fan.. the last half saved the book honestly.
It’s told from Claire’s POV, except for the last chapter which is from Mason’s POV(which I loved!). I prefer dual POV, but didn’t hate this.
Excited to read book 2!
