4.0

There was something so comforting about reading this book. It was like a combination of the thrillers I used to eat up pre-reading slump (so like, 2018) and the smutty romance books I'm currently loving. Being on holiday while I read it probably contributed to the vibes too. Along with all that, it was a great book! 

What it WASN'T, on the other hand, was an enemies to lovers book. I keep seeing people on Booktok describing this as enemies to lovers and I realised once I'd finished it that it even says that in the Kindle store description! These characters were not enemies for a single second. They didn't even really dislike each other at any point! Again, this was a great book, but I think selling it as an enemies to lovers romance is going to leave some people disappointed. 

The plot was nothing revolutionary but both the mystery and romance elements were well-executed and I enjoved the main character, Winslow. I was happy with how the story wrapped up and can see myself enjoying the rest of the books in this series. 

This was my first Devney Perry book and it won't be my last! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of The Edens series.
