This is such an amazing debut!!Â
The characters (main or side) are all so beautifully developed and fleshed out that readers get a great sense of who everyone is without the plot being bogged down with too much exposition. Ledvina absolutely shows and doesn’t tell, which makes everything about the story compelling, interesting, and engaging. I rooted so much for everyone.
The villains and the mystery were also so well organized and crafted. Not even halfway through I wanted the next book, and this one isn’t even out yet. It was just so easy to get into, and I absolutely need to know what happens next. Several characters already have intriguing potential plot lines, but new characters are adding fascinating new threads that I’m excited to see pan out.Â
The best part of this was the actual slow burn. The characters’ relationships were intense in all the best ways without relying on smut, and I loved that. Absolutely recommend it!!Â
