I didn't realise this was part of a series (let alone book FIVE) until I was reading the introduction so my opinion may be skewed.
The setting for this series - a remote Scottish island - resonated with me in several places, but that's where my love for this book ends. The plot with Saif made me want to keep reading but a lot of the characters are really unlikeable. I see no reason to enjoy the FMC's love interest. His backstory sounds interesting but he's very grating if this is your first time meeting him. From this book alone, they should not be together lol.
Don't read this as your introduction to the series, the characters will not be painted in a favourable light (I will still 1v1 someone for Saif though)
