What I really enjoyed about this story was the fact that it is pretty much enemies-to-enemies. There is maybe a short period of time around the two-thirds point of the book where you feel as though Piper and the witch may have reached an understanding but then Piper reveals a bit more of himself and you realise that this is a book with a corruption arc where these characters might be having lots of sex but it is very much hate sex. 

I thought Piper was incredibly well-written as he almost immediately draws the reader in and makes them love him and by the time you realise just had dark his character is, well, it’s too late, he has already got his claws into you.

Maybe it is a vibe that other readers won’t get but I was reminded of the prison world in The Vampire Diaries when Piper and the witch were trying to find a way out of the hellscape they had landed in.
