Really had no idea how good this book was going to be
Went in with no expectations—and thus far—for January 2025, it’s already my Top Read for this month and is already in my Top 10 for 2025, hell maybe even Top 5!
The story and pacing was so good! We get a few different perspectives in the story, which is good, really helps us see the bigger picture, and the other views does not feel like filler info or take away from the main story. It adds and shows that what’s going on—extends farther than anyone could have guessed—and ugh! *chefs kiss*
Other then the obvious characters (who are idiots) being idiots, no one else was stupid or made dumb childish decisions…honestly such a good, fast pace, intriguing world with wonderful lovable characters

This felt a little repetitive, to the point that I just skipped the parts with the same info/convos
So that was 1 star removed
Another let down of this book, was the fact that Drew was not the one to kill his “father”, which I had really been looking forward to. He had so many chances and when push came to shove—Drew did not come through.
He in fact froze!
YES FROZE!
If not for his mother putting 2 bullets in him, Bel would have died cause Drew—even with a gun in his hand and his father saying he was going to shoot him (he also had a gun aimed at Drew/Bel)—just.couldn’t.do.it.
I was flabbergasted
I’m still flabbergasted
And that is how star #2 was taken away, and trust me, I’m being nice with it still getting 3 stars after that build up and let down by Drew who talks alot of shit but actually can’t do shit -_____-
