This was a rough one — a lot of triggering content!!! Please proceed with caution:
I enjoyed this book up until the “miscommunication/secret to protect the other” trope and I got so frustrated that I had to put the book down for a minute. But once the story started and the spicey spicy stuff picked up, I couldn’t put this book down. I enjoyed this very much but due to the unforeseen trope that is one of my least favorites, I knocked it down a half star. And also recommending this to my friends would be hard due to the triggering content.— a lot of Seraphine’s revenge moments had me CRINGING — but those disgusting humans deserve it.
BUT THAT KNIFE SCENE THOUGH. I’m a sucker for those kinds of scenes.
