4.0

Definitely becoming a comfort read, it has the perfect balance of cuteness, spiciness, hilarity, relatability, and thrill. IMHO you can dive into this one if the other books in the series aren't striking your fancy and you don't care to get spoiled for said books.

4.5

 First off, a huge thank you to F.M. Aden for letting me read another ARC of hers—I’m so grateful for the opportunity and, honestly, I just love her work! I’m sorry this review is a little late, but here it is!

Let’s start with what I loved: the world was absolutely beautiful and delivered on those Phantom of the Opera vibes. And oh my GOD, the banter! It was truly incredible, there were times I would be laughing out loud suddenly and startling people around me. While the MMC and FMC weren’t as romantic as I typically prefer, their banter made them stand out in the best way possible. And don’t even get me started on the delicious slow burn

As for what I found okay: maybe it’s just me, but I did find the world-building a bit confusing and harder to dive into at first. That said, the story itself pulled me in, so it didn’t really take away from my enjoyment overall.

In the end, this is the perfect Spring read. F.M. Aden has worked her magic yet again!
