This book doesn't even try to be original. I've read this story about a dozen times before. Feisty, angsty human heroine against the big bad wolf, who's really just a brokenhearted softie underneath it all. The writing is inconsistent, the world building barely there and after the first 100 pages or so the plot sizzles out completely. I kept going because I hoped I would see what everyone else was seeing but I just checked and after 15 hours of listening, I still have 2 left and I just don't have it in me anymore. 

Oh, YA, what a tragic story the two of us make. Not enemies-to-lovers but lovers-to-strangers?

It’s giving Twilight meets the Hunger Games, except with one of the worst covers I have ever seen.

I love Broadbent’s writing, how she writes MMC’s that are soft with their love interests, and that feel things so deeply.
