I liked this book but a couple things bothered me:
- Thea forgives Julian waayyy too easily in the beginning. She basically immediately lets him back in her life. It felt very unsatisfying and anticlimactic
Ending on a random car accident was kind of disappointing. Like there were so many dramatic things and threats happening, that an out of nowhere car accident was super random and again anticlimactic. Feels super out of place for the story.
But like I said, I still enjoyed it. If you like high stakes adventure and drama, and intense romance and spice than this book is great. It had some of my favourite tropes too: fated mates, dual POV, secret identity, overly protective mate. Solid 3/5 on the spice scale too.
