ambernt95's review against another edition

This book was too much for me. It reminded me of the show “Dexter” and that is not what I’m looking for. Definite trigger warnings for anyone that has experienced sexual assault. Not for me

Really gave me haunting Adeline vibes. So an obvi 5 ⭐️ however I wish it did tie more into Greek mythology than what it did. I didn’t like how it wasn’t Jonás who was trying to black mail them or even marcelline. It might have helped if I read the prequel but I was real disappointed in how the blackmail plot wrapped up. The ending felt rushed and like Elena didn’t even care really about her siblings when she decided to blackmail her parents. I wanna know more details ab violet cause she kinda annoyed me a little. I really like the female bartender in the beginning and I wish she stuck. The spice level in this book was worth every frivolous word. All in all the book was very good plot points including I would read it again but def revoked reading prequel first even if it’s a stand alone.

rebeccaparsons's review against another edition

This book literally sucks there weren't any people trigger warnings and the angst is just tiring with no point to it. I can't believe I wasted my time with this.
