I kind of enjoyed it I loved the epilogue and in general the ending. BUT he slept with her mom in the past which is weird but okay I guess like her mom is shitty yk but he didn't even chase after her and I felt like sleeping with her as a solution I don't know its not enough yk? I loved the Beginning though that he just killed her fiance and married her I was into that but the problem solving not good at all so I would give it like 3☆

5.0

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.
