mrrmadi's review against another edition

ThIs book just didn’t really keep my attention at all. I got the recommendation from BookTok and I think maybe I should stop listening to those creators because this book was just awful. Really poorly written and the smut was so repetitive. The characters were really one-dimensional, especially Leon. Not worth the hype.

The book was awesome plot wise like it’s up there real close to Haunting Adeline (my fav book ever). This was filled with tension on a level that kept you wondering what the hell was going to happen next gahhh it was splendid. I felt like Inayas fiancé was mention so many times though. Like on an abridgment side of things it was just really unnecessary to the plot. I 110% could have cared less about Inaya like her whole character was based on watching a cat. Also I thought there would be another steamy scene at the very end. Needless to say I was found dissatisfied. Also I feel this would end a lot quicker if Leon knew how to operate a gun.
