she is an ice princess & the baddiest FMC I’ve read about in a long time!!! sloane for president pls 😅🤞🏼

after getting glimpses of sloane and xavier through the other kings of sin book, I was beyond stoked for their story!! and the slow burn that I was expecting was … not really a slow burn at all! they spent most of the book in a semi-relationship which was refreshing to see

sloane and xavier both have family trauma (which relatable 🙃), and seeing them work through that together in a healthy way was so wonderful. and yes, their fears and anxiety were present throughout the whole book but who isn’t somewhat controlled by their own!! we have to stan realistic characters!! 

sloane’s “conflict” at the end was weak and more of a repeat of her thoughts instead of a new realization, and I would have loved to see more of her reasoning behind her actions at the end 

also this book was longggggg… and for little reason… I definitely felt the same emotions and story could have worked without at least 100 pages of filler content! but the repetitive nature of who sloane and xavier are at their core was beneficial to see how much they changed by the end so 🤷🏼‍♀️

I WANTED MORE MYSTERY THOUGH MKAY!! give me vuk’s side of the story now please!!!!!
