★☆☆☆☆
Over hyped and pretty disappointing
I hate to write a one star review but I expected a lot more from this book. I really struggled to read and finish this book. Everything was so wishy-washy
The heroine Bryce was the epitome of a Mary Sue. She was so special that is was unbelievable. Every guy liked her. And she was reckless and not at all likable.
The hero in the book also wasn’t that great. I quiet frankly couldn’t buy their relationship. It was completely based off lust and I get it what she is, but still the relationship was so superficial and he was just a duplicate of so many heroes in many other romance novels.
The romance wasn’t the best. It was trying too hard. There wasn’t any gradual build up. It felt too insta-love. I needed to see that the characters were great together and I didn’t see that.
The world building and action were okay. But not great. For all the hype of the book, I didn’t get the wow factor. I couldn’t understand what was so unique about this spin of the fae lore.
Overall, I was pretty disappointed in this book. I expected a lot more. I can see why people liked this book. But it wasn’t my cup of tea
