The book was awesome plot wise like it’s up there real close to Haunting Adeline (my fav book ever). This was filled with tension on a level that kept you wondering what the hell was going to happen next gahhh it was splendid. I felt like Inayas fiancé was mention so many times though. Like on an abridgment side of things it was just really unnecessary to the plot. I 110% could have cared less about Inaya like her whole character was based on watching a cat. Also I thought there would be another steamy scene at the very end. Needless to say I was found dissatisfied. Also I feel this would end a lot quicker if Leon knew how to operate a gun.

Wow I really fucking hated this. The smut was 👀 good but I can’t think of a single other main character who pissed me off as much as Rae did. I know it was meant to be an endearing thing but literally she just consistently makes actually the worst fucking decisions and while yes I know she’s being manipulated to some extent and shit - it’s still actually the most infuriating thing
I read this on a rec from booktok and while I for the most part get why she liked it cause I would’ve probably at least given it a 3 stars if Rae wasn’t so fucking stupid literally every single second of her life but omg I almost DNF’d this book cause fucking hell
