A review by breedawnwriter
Check & Mate by Ali Hazelwood

medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

Idk what Ali put in this book, but it was ADDICTIVE. I want more. I need a follow up story. I need the bonus chapters and deleted scenes.

I’m in love with this book, and it 100% deserves the hype.
