I have very rarely read books set in the twenties, so the whole world setting/worldbuilding was fascinating (and easy enough to follow).
The plot is fascinating and I barely could set the book down because I Needed To Know what was going to happen to Darling/what the mystery they were looking for was (and where it was).
Secretan is the kind of second protagonist/love interest that you quite want to give a good kick to, but knowing the author, this whole business will be resolved with the next books. They did warn that the full HEA would only be resolved with the third book, so I knew what to expect when I saw how the relationship was turning.
Darling made it really easy to relate to and I probably got too involved at some point lol. I started the second book right after finishing the first during my lunch break.
