This masterpiece truly blew my mind! When I thought I had figured out where the characters were headed, they took me on a surprising twist. Ruby can absolutely hold her own and even surpass K.G. Reuss. The way she brings her characters to life and allows readers to feel what they’re experiencing is phenomenal. And let’s not forget that cliffhanger ending—I’m still holding out hope for that character! I first came across a TikTok showcasing that Raven Monroe was self-mute, and that instantly sparked my interest. Before everything goes awry, we get a glimpse into her life, which adds significant depth to her character.
The prologue was a bit tough to read, but it was so well-written that I couldn’t help but want to dive deeper into her story! I found myself completely unable to put the book down, and I’ve annotated it as if it’s my new favorite thing. Our three main characters—Maverick, Damon, and Jonas—are each wonderful in their own way. They all hold a special place in my heart, but if I had to choose, I would lean toward Jonas. He really gets down to the nitty-gritty! 😏
If you’ve made it this far, you’re awesome! Treat yourself to a cookie because you deserve it! This delightful adventure was something I didn’t know I needed, and I can’t wait to see what Ruby has in store for us next!
