Bit drawn out

This book isn't as good as the first book in my opinion. It was a bit drawn out with an anticlimactic ending. I will still get the next book, I just hope it is more exciting. The first book was fabulous

So good

First time reading it was underwhelming, strangely, but the second time, when there was less focus on the storyline and it’s ending (which I’m still not happy about, Lauren. Lol) - there is so much focus on Kai’s poetic mind and… it’s beautiful. The book is mesmerising, and exciting. The banter was great the first and second time reading, the adventure was ok, but the beauty was in the poetry. A soulful read, made me stop and rewind often, just to hear it again and again. Pause-worthy.
The audio narration was perfection.
The ending still made me want to throw a heavy object. April… where are you.

Could not put it down!!!

SPOILERS *****



This was a great second instalment!!!!!
I could not put it down!!
The end left me reeling!!!
I am kind of dreading the love triangle of the next book!!
But cannot wait to find out what happens!!
I did find some points VERY repetitive! But for a YA novel the slow burn was addictive!
If you love one bed trope, enemies to lovers, love triangle, and to be left hanging!!! Then this is the series for you!

My favourite book this year

Interesting story that kept me hooked from begging to end. The audio voices were great and on point. Love the slow burn romance, the fast pace, Enjoyed not being able to predict events and the ending just left me with a such an intense cliffhanger that I could barely sleep. I need the next book now!
