4.5

I really enjoyed this one. I didn’t find the world building to be too complicated or hard to follow, and I really loved the characters! That being said, I do feel like the storyline jumped around at times which was a bit confusing. But!! Other than that, absolutely fantastic book and I’ll be reading the second one!

Aya uses her persuasion to get Will to jump off a cliff, he lives and it’s not technically a suicide attempt, but it can definitely be viewed this way, and it may be triggering

4.0

This slow burn story had everyone’s trust constantly in question and the reveals of who is trustworthy at the end definitely had my jaw dropped.  If not due to the astounding amount of plot twists and major events that occurred to further the story too. 

Battling with inner darkness, realising truths and lies all at once and realising your a literal saint is a lot for just Aya to deal with.  So aidon, will and josies roles as supporting main characters were welcome even through all the chaos and lapses in trust.  

I cannot wait to find out what happens next
