This book wasn’t on my TBR until I followed the author on social media and read some snippets of the book that were posted. I thought this was not only a unique premise, but also well told. I enjoyed the author’s writing style, and it was action packed from the get go. The main character, Emanuela, is absolutely ~ruthless~ and will do whatever she can to get what she wants. This book was dark, bloody, with a slow burn enemies to lovers that I can’t wait to read more about in book 2. If you enjoyed the main character in ‘The Shadows Between Us’ by Tricia Levenseller, you’ll definitely enjoy this book. However, I must say that Emanuela is much more intense in her ambition, cunning, and determination than the main character of ‘Shadows’.
