Writing could use some editing mostly just for spelling mistakes though because it was written well overall and the prose flowed nicely in places. Overall a dark and twisted setting with a bit of mystery and a dark underbelly. Liked Alistair & Briar overall and how their story built up gradually but felt both their backstories could use a little more depth and the end felt a bit rushed. Spicy and a decent plot.
