I received this ARC in exchange for a review. Please check out the trigger warnings at the bottom of this review before reading the book.
I really enjoyed this book! It hooked me a lot quicker then I thought it would, so much so that I read it pretty much in one sitting. The only part I didn’t want to read was the end because I knew it’d break me...and I did, but in a good way.
The plot twist at the end whilst some people maybe saw coming, I did not. I thought the way the other left it right until the end, instead of including it in the characters POV throughout was really cover and made it more impactful.
I loved the characters and the romance. Vlad, the male character, especially to me was really great. I loved how he showed his vulnerability to Dahlia, the female lead.
The one con for me was that some bits felt quite repetitive, mainly what was said rather than actions.
I am super excited to read the next book!
