The synopsis of this book sounds a lot more exciting that it really is. Also the Part of the mystery revolves around the mafia, which isn’t mentioned in the synopsis. This wasn’t the sexy, dark romance I hoped for; it’s just a girl hearing about how terrible she used to be and trying to convince everyone (mostly the love interest) she is different now because she doesn’t remember anything.
The sex scenes at the end of the book weren’t that hot to me, not even lukewarm. I didn’t really feel sexual tension between Asher and Reina because he literally hated her and then suddenly he’s flirting one minute and then telling her she’s a monster the next, so very mixed signals. Also didn’t like the racism towards the Asian character.
The ending is a cliffhanger, and overall I don’t care enough to find out the answers. This book has Pretty Little Liar vibes but less suspenseful and thought out.
