This book was slow in the beginning. I was confused for most of it and it definitely kept me guessing and then I expected the ending to be messed up but not that devastating 😭 I enjoyed it, it was a good book.

This book had me angry, then chuckling, crying, then in love. I loved the first book, I loved this book and I am excited about the third. Tyr had my heart breaking! Also how dare you Kate Dramis! I was excited about a relationship between Aidon and Tova! 😭😭 How dare you!

I enjoyed this book. I read it in a day. The premise was interesting. The storyline although at times was predictable it was still good. I am excited to see where it goes with book two.

Honestly I am not sure what to rate this book.  This one was hard to get down at times 😭 All I can say is if you want to feel sick to your stomach and confused then by all means. Read at your own risk.
