Review

This bugs me… I mean, the blurb is great, and the sample chapters were great. I was soooo looking forward to finally reading it, and I’m 60% in, and it’s just so dull! Nothing happens.

Dami, our FMC, has some serious abandonment issues, and I get that. That does not mean she can act like an entitled little b*tch when stuff isn’t going her way, or people have different opinions.

Grim, Calix, and Gunnar (the MMCs) are okay, though we have 0 to no backstory whatsoever.

This had so much potential, but I don’t want to waste 40% on a book that’s just not doing it for me when I have so many other books to read. So yeah, DNF 60% :'(
