I wish we had more scenes like the hiking scene. When Vance and Lyla scoured the mountains together for the first time. I wish this book was longer so I could really feel them fall in love. Don’t get me wrong they’re cute alright but I wish the development of their romance wasn’t so rushed. The guy spent 4 years obsessed over a case. I would have liked to see that focus be broken down painstakingly and bit by bit and it was, sure but it wasn’t as slow as I would have liked. 3.6 stars. ...more

Rebecca Kuang is an amazing writer. I think this is the first time a female MC has commanded my fear and respect as much as Fang Runin has. You truly cannot predict what she’s going to do next. Pacing was alright. Overall, I’m floored in a good way and the ending??? My goodness. 4 stars....more

This was raw, intense and it was everything. It's also absolutely wild that some of the events that go on in this book are eerily similar to what's going on in the world right now for Palestine, Sudan & Congo. There were some TRIGGERING parts of this book I couldn't read because of the sheer evil and it's going on in the world right literally now and it's important for us to stay informed and stand for what's right. For Palestine, Sudan, Congo and all other marginalized people. This book had complex characters, a great storyline and it kept engaged and interested and on the edge of my seat. Great read. Can't wait to start the next one ...more
