I absolutely adored this. Rufus and Luke’s dynamic was so perfect. The story and mystery were interesting, and the first book honestly felt like a prequel setting this one up. I would love for a third following Emily and Berengaria, but that probably won’t happen

One of Charles' weakest storylines. The main antagonists were flat, mustache-twirling cartoon villains and the "dramatic" climax of

Luke getting trapped in the coffin

felt very forced. 
The writing and main characters were still very enjoyable but this is the first book by the author I was rolling my eyes at during multiple parts of the story.

9/10. This book was deliciously steamy, romantic, and intriguing. There were a million twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I love that the main leads became true friends before becoming lovers. Also, the plot was so rich and interesting outside of the romance. I actually read this one before the first book in the series so I do plan on rereading this when I can read the books in order.
