This series has me in an absolute chokehold. This book was even better than the first. I loved watching Ophelia really come into her own and take action here. The mystery surrounding the Arks and God is sp enthralling. Im excited to read the next book.

A fantastic standalone. I loved having a main character that was cocky and rude and frankly a brat. Her development was a delight. The world building is so unique and well done. Overall just a great read

This was a lot of fun. It has a fun cast of characters and the worldbulding is just excellent. I will say this feels incomplete, maybe this and the sequel should have just been one book.

As usual Emily Antoinette knocks in out of the park. This was such a fun take on a stalker romance.
