As a book its fine. I understand where people are coming from when they say it feels like CC, but it’s also very different in its own way.
There’s a bit of editing stuff that’s not been caught (the star having seven points and then two pages later it’s eight), and repetitive phrase usage, which is unfortunate because having that in order would likely have bumped it up a bit.
In a way it’s a mystery as well, but it feels a little too obvious at times, none of the twists come early enough to catch you off guard.
As for the main couple… meh. They’re both fairly flat characters in my opinion, but Loren takes the cake. Also can we talk about Lola??? Where does that even come from? It’s so confusing. And hello?? They’re SO young. It’s wild. Darien keeps going on about his “long life” and how he’s the best to ever do it (it being assassin for hire) and I’m over here like my guy you are 24? Chill.
Also the dog dies (and is revived) and there’s a LITERAL deus ex machina moment which… nah not for me, I don’t think
All in all, I likely won’t be reading the next one
