I liked this story and really any one where the girlies fight back. I liked how the story all came together, and I was really interested in the fictional island. Lux is a wild name for a character, though haha

Was just kinda meh? I didn’t hate it, wasn’t excited by it either? Somehow wasn’t what I was expecting it to be either.  The action scenes moved so quickly it felt like whiplash and the rest of the book felt slow to me. I went like a week without picking it up. Like there was a lot to unpack with this story and it’s many characters and yet I still feel like something was missing. These characters are messy as hell. I think the lesson here is don’t travel with someone you just met, ya know, stranger danger.
