i read it as a standalone as i haven’t read 2 books before it so in starting it was kinda confusing but it picked up face after 3 chapters then i enjoyed it!! It give twillight vibes but its better than twillight atleast better than movie which i have seen. I really like her writing though this is first time i am reading author’s book. Ransom character is so down to earth and unbelievably understanding while isabean is difficult. They are combination of simplicity and complexicity. I am kinda excited to read jax’s story. ITS GOOD WORTH A READ.
