I liked this book, however, I encourage people to proceed to read with caution. Heed my trigger warning. This book took turns I wasn’t expecting, and I found myself fairly disturbed at the beginning. I also found it hard at first to connect with our male leading character, Cole, as he proved to be no more than an arrogant bastard. However, near the end, he truly seem to have a glow up as he got to know Mara and he began to feel emotions that he hadn’t ever experienced in the past. Overall, I liked this book and I’m excited to read the second one, but I definitely encourage you to do your research before you read it.
