Molly for your first book you have out done yourself, I was hooked the minute I started reading it, truly!
I have some notes which I hope you’ll read because it’s all positive and you deserve it!
Let’s just get it out of the way, that sex scene!! Girl what the heck!! This book was a real slow burn, I’m talking they were intimate after the half way mark, but soo worth it my lord. The shadows?? Ugh give me my shadow daddy now please! Although there wasn’t much detail and it was a small scene, it was so captivating and intense!
I would of liked the scene of Elodies death to be a bit more in detail, really get to feel the emotions and settle into the sadness, and the same with the bath tub scene, although that is a very touchy subject, the panic and angst is where it’s at and it was just lacking that little bit but never the less still so emotional and breathtaking.
I am going to guess that this book was intended to be the size that it is, so those minor details and stories don’t come into play, which is understandable, I would have liked to see Fallon really learn her power and give into it a bit more, learn and grow with it, and I wish there was more of an insider of Brynn and Elodie, but that would make it more of a larger novel then a smaller one.
Now, do you know how refreshing it is to read a book where the MMC isn’t broody, dark, twisted, leant to the dark side, and the FMC not be this shallow, fragile women? Not to mention the lack of talk on his scent or the way his eyes darkened or what ever what ever, so bloody refreshing to just skip over that stuff! And have a man that doesn’t play games or lies or beats around the bush, Havoc was just straight to the point, “yep that’s my women!” Like yes!! Finally! No games, no fucking around, just meant to be. It was like drinking a glass of ice water after eating chocolate (if that makes sense lol)
Moving on, this book was out standing and I am going to recommend it to everyone I know because it truly is that good. The characters, the plot, the side characters, the enemies, the world building! Just so amazing and for a first book Molly has really out done herself. So so proud of a stranger!
