Like Blood and Ash, I found this entertaining enough to keep reading but it's nothing to write home about.

The worldbuilding is meh and the plot drags for most of the book.

It’s okay, an enjoyable read, average world building and has some spicy scenes. 3 chili peppers

While the book's synopsis initially intrigued me, the reading experience left me with a migraine 🙂 The plot had potential but fell short due to a lack of engaging writing, detailed world-building outside the “manor”, and character development. The “supporting cast” felt underdeveloped, barely interacting with the main protagonist or each other. Excluding Claude, who was “boss and CEO”, so she had to interact with him I guess 👁️👄👁️

The pacing was sluggish, with the most engaging” and “exciting” moments reserved for the end. Numerous dialogues and scenes seemed unwarranted, often using verbose explanations to fill pages rather than advancing the story. It's disappointing because the plot was promising. Don't even get me started on the ending 🙄 A cliffhanger when the storyline was finally getting good……Brother eugh!! What do you mean?????? 🤦🏾‍♀️I don't even want to read the next book at this point🧍🏾‍♀️

I reallllllly liked this book. It kept my attention the whole time. I would be working and thinking of this book, would wake up in the morning excited to find time to read this book. I can’t tell you what exactly it is about it that I love so much. This book has me in a trance and I NEED more NOW! When is the second book being released?!?!?!?!? HELP ME I NEED IT
