I enjoyed this and it set the scene well for the rest of the series, I feel like it’s just starting to get good!

* I’ve come back to add to this review, please check your trigger warnings, whilst this book isn’t bad, further into the series it gets very heavy with depression and SH and I wasn’t prepared for it, so if that’s not something you can read I wouldn’t recommend starting this series.

Holy mother of all things holy! This book sucked me in from page one. Still has a choke hold on me. I don't even want to admit how quickly I read this book. When I finished, I swear I just stared at the kindle waiting for something to happen, like anything. The sexual tension and angst is absolutely top notch. I fell in love with the characters and sometimes I was questioning my moral compass. Alana has the mental capacity like no other! She has been through so much and yet she still remains witty and fun. She is the definition of a firecracker. I laughed at parts of the book and also wanted to throw my kindle across the room too. This book is a roller coaster and I am so ready for ride number 2! I have a feeling this author will be a go to author for me.
