Wow. Ok. Mega spice. But also semi good plot? It’s a mix of Divergent recruit training with TOG power discovery. I didn’t love the helpless clueless FMC though.

Reads like YA. Worldbuilding, characters and plot are all underdeveloped.

This was a fast, engaging read. It was spicy and slightly dark. Parts made me annoyed but there was logic to it so at least it wasn't because of bad writing. The ending pissed me off though, grr.

No Holly, you cannot leave us hanging like that!! Thankfully we just have to make it to August, but until then I will be suffering. 

This was such a good read!! It was fast paced and I was hooked from the beginning. I love when there is a good tension between the two main characters. Sprinkle in the fact they hate each other and I am one happy reader. And the relationship between Nyra and Dacre? It definitely delivers that and some spicy goodness.

The story line is pretty good and I can’t wait to see how it continues into the second book especially the way it leaves you hanging. Some of the spicy scenes were not my fav but other than that I really enjoyed this book. It’s a super fast and easy read.

It was very fast paced and engaging and I liked the romance until
the ending which was  disturbing and felt like the FMC was violated
