5.0

There is so much I want to say about this book and way too little coherent thoughts to be put down in words. I was given an ARC copy in exchange for my honest review. 

First of all, I want you to read this too. This was a breathtaking story about soulmates and trauma healing with a side of light stalking. So check TW’s first. 

Our MMC Ronan is the most swoon worthy man a woman has ever written. Forget about every hot, possessive, morally grey MMC before, bc Ronan does it better. 

He would burn the world to keep her safe and he is so considerate of her comfort  level and he takes communication to a whole new level, I don’t even have words to describe how I feel. 🫠🫠🫠 

And Brigid, our FMC, she is so resilient that you can only admire her strength and strong will to survive from everything. 

And you can’t forget the spice! It’s the perfect amount and the quality is top tier. 🌢️🌢️🌢️

And the side characters are just like a cherry on the top of this perfection of a story. πŸ’

In the end, I’m obsessed with this book. With these characters. Everything about this story. ❀️ 

Full five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
