"Warning: This review has some spoilers kind of. I have somewhat of a parent guide review in here. Such a good book!! Sad its only a stand alone. It was clean ish. There was lots of cussing, only a few f bombs. There was talk of sex and stuff regarding it. But no sex. There was gore, but it wasn’t like horrible. Id say overall 13+. I really liked the book and really want a sequel!!!"

"Overall, this book was alright. I enjoyed the plot because it was pretty interesting but the part that made this book hard to read was the pacing and characters. At first the book was really slow, but that is pretty reasonable for the context of the story. However, the characters were, in my opinion, poorly written. They seemed very forced and cringey at times. The characters lacked their own sturdy development and instead it felt choppy and weird. I also though the relationships between the characters felt forced and weren’t written well (especially the romance/love interest). Of course, not everything about the characters were bad, I just don’t think they were written well. It is important for an author to make the readers connect to their characters but I honestly didn’t care if they died or not. The only thing that kept me reading was the setting/worldbuilding/concept/plot."
"I loved this book because it was so detailed and so amazingly written. I loved the romance and action and everything about the gut wrenching way this book is written."
