4 stars

This book was very interesting. Dealt with some intense subject matter. It was almost perfect. The author has a very different writing style which added to some areas that needed to be fleshed out and if not rushed ( the ending for example) it ended up taking away from the story.

Still very good and I hope there will be more in the future that gives a better resolution for these characters and even Matteo. ( )

Dark. Empowering.

This book wasn't what I expected. There's a lot going on in its pages, some of it graphic and potentially triggering.

Lucia is damaged and her path back from the darkness is a tough one. There's a hook for a potential sequel, one I'll be keen to read when it appears.

I'm disappointed by the book's updated shirtless guy cover art, the original cover image was much more evocative in my opinion. ( )
