Loved this book!!! I finished this book in a week. I've been looking for Found-Family tropes and this one is perfect. I'm so excited to read the next book.

The writing is terrible, the grammar has me confused what’s the point In putting explaining at the beginning of what some words mean like I am going to remember that. And how they talked about how small she was and how big he was and his dick injury Jesus we get it. I just can’t anymore

“She makes my heart go, like, whoa.” 💓

I’m all over the place on this one but I’m really enjoying it. I don’t mind a slow burn, but this one is a bit too long and bit too repetitive. We had the same ‘Johnny takes Shan for a spin’ arc too many times and it just never seemed to move the story forward. 

With that being said, I love Johnny and Shan and will protect them at all cost! I’m loving this little found family that seems to be blossoming for Shannon. Lord knows she deserves it!

I wasn’t gonna start book 2 right away, but now I’m conflicted! I need to know what happens next.

witcheep's review against another edition

Most of the book so far has been infodumping about the main characters' past and present lives with very little action in the present. I want to rather be shown than told who these characters are and what they struggle with to be able to get properly interested in them. If I wanted to read a biography, I wouldn't pick up a romance book for that. The last nail to the coffin of this book is unfortunately the narrator's voice: Forsythe's accent for his chapter comes out too strong for me to focus on the story (a.k.a. infodump here) instead of the accent itself.

This will not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I absolutely could not put this down.  This is a character driven dual POV with high school students, who act like high school students. But there is a violent devastating backstory, so check the triggers for sure.
