Night for Day by Roselle Lim
3.0
It's important to start by saying that if I rated books on vibes alone, this one would be close to a full 5 stars. It turns out I really have a thing for books about mortals getting pulled into crazy situations involving the gods (think Masters of Death), and because of that, the beginning of this book really captured my interest.
Sadly, it didn't stay that way the entire time. It's an incredibly interesting concept but the way that it's executed left me desiring more. There are a lot of unanswered questions, and the end of the book was unfortunately too cliché and transparent to feel very satisfying. Frankly, I think if you removed the spice, and the emphasis on the importance of physicality in their relationship (which I think is more there to give the spice scenes a reason to be in the book, rather than the other way around) then this would make a great story for young readers.
