They’re everything a girl shouldn’t want. Too bad this foster girl never had a daddy to chase away the monsters because I’m a sucker for a bad boy … or four.
Carver, King, Cruz, and Grayson—the Kings of Ravenwood Heights.
When I was forced to come here, I was expecting just another run-down town to add to the ever-growing list of unwanted homes. What I wasn’t expecting was them.
They’re dangerous and they're keeping one hell of a secret—a secret that's going to change it all.
Boys of Winter is a Dark, Enemies to Lovers, Reverse Harem Romance. It contains explicit sexual content, detailed violence, and coarse language.
⤅ I can't read a book where the first 3% already has plot holes.
1. In what reality does a 17 year old girl fight off 5 adult men AND WIN? The author has fallen into the trap of writing them as coming up to her one by one, when in real life they'd obviously gang up on her, not hang back.
2. How the hell does a 'poor foster kid' own a 'sleek sexy Ducati'? That sounds like it costs, you know, money.
3. The cherry on the icing. It's the middle of the night, she passes an Escalade with heavily hinted windows and senses its occupants watching her, so what else does she do BUT FOLLOW THEM TO A CEMETERY. For literally no reason. Um no you can't just make your characters do random illogical things, they have to at least pretend they're real people.
Let me first say... Congratulations to Author Sheridan Anne..not only has she just wrote her first RH but she wrote this series opener, that is so tightly woven and connected you can’t miss a single word or you will have missed some pivotal points of this masterpiece. It’s beautifully written, with so many key parts of the story.. you can tell that this story completely consumed her while writing it. she just took her first RH challenge and blew it right out of the park.. this book is sexy and dangerous.. it’s full of unspoken truths and desires that will have you salivating for more..so much so I had to go back and reread it again before I could write this review. I didn’t want to leave this world.. I am dying for book two .. From word one, you are taken in and you cannot put this book down .. As I go through the book and get to know the characters of my new favorite series.. I am constantly rooting for different people at different times.. her main character.. she’s beautiful and strong .. brave and badass.. Yet..Yet she’s also so full of emotion that she desperately wants to keep hidden..The boys of Winter who definitely get your attention, are feared and looked up to throughout the town but not Winter.. she’s attracted to them sure but she learned along time ago to leave her heart out of it.. when secrets come out I was so blown back and some of them gut you to the core.. This book brought out some many feels.. I had laughed a few times.. I cried and feared for Winter at times.. I also got the goose bumps which we all know makes it a freaking amazing read.. I can definitely say I appreciate the effort and talent that Author Sheridan Anne put into writing and creating this world.. I loved it .. no that’s not the right word.. I more than loved it.. I was enraptured by it.. I’m desperate for more.. it’s so deliciously good!
I have been a fan of this author since discovering her Haven Falls series a little over a year ago. Since then I have read a total of 4 series and have loved every single one. I have really developed a love for reverse harem storyline, so was ecstatic to find out she was writing a RH series. This was a phenomenal book. The characters are intriguing and who doesn't love a bad a** chick who doesn't always need someone to save her (but who also is willing to acknowledge when she did need the help, even if she didn't see that at the time of the event).
I love the different personalities of the 5 guys.... of course they follow the typical RH rubric in how they start off the relationship: a flirt who also is a big teddy bear full of compassion and wants to comfort her, the hot waste no time to get it on with the heroine guy, the leader/biggest alpha with attitude whom heroine butts heads with constantly, and the serious/broody guy who acts like he hates the heroine yet still jumps in to make sure she is ok.
This book does have triggers so please be aware of that before you read (sex trafficking is a big topic in this book). The crazy twists in this story kept me guessing the whole time and I never saw most of them coming, especially the cliffhanger at the end. The book also wasn't lacking in steamy scenes.
I adore Cruz and King the most, but that isn't surprising since I typically love the flirt/teddy bear and the bad boy who makes you wish it was you he was pushing against a wall, vs. the leader/alpha and the "mean" one in reverse harems or books where a girl has 1 main guy with a group of guy "friends". I can't wait to see where this story goes. This is book 1 of what is planned to be a 4 book series, and while some won't read a series until it is complete, just remember that if an author doesn't get enough interest in a new series, they may not be as motivated to finish it!!!
I am so freaking stoked that Sheridan Anne finally crossed over into the RH world!! And boy she absolutely slayed it! I FREAKINNG LOVED IT! This storyline sucked me in I never knew what was going to happen, like she brought her A game with this one. I think my heart stopped beating several times through out this book. This has action, steam, LOL moments and more action!
Winter gahhh where do I start she is seriously one of the best FMC’s I think Sheridan has written and that is definitely something because all her FMC’s are Boss A$$ B*%!#es. But there is just something more with Winter that drew me in and made me just absolutely love her. And the guys totally drool worthy alpha holes. So yummy.
I flew right through it and didn’t realize I hit the ending until I couldn’t find any more pages to read I need more!!!
A beautiful, sassy girl, ageing out of foster care. 4 bad boys that are part of an elite, get what they want dynasty. Bring them together and you get one hell of a hot novel. Twists and turns in every chapter. There’s murder, sex trafficking, fights galore and sex scenes that would melt an iceberg! A RH novel by Sheridan Anne. A must read
Clearly Sheridan Anne was meant to be writing RH! In her prior books, she always had such a dynamic chemistry between her leading and the “crew” of guys- and given her flair for dramatic and unexpected storytelling and feisty heroines, she had all of the bones of a great reverse harem author. And Dynasty is a great first foray into the reverse harem world for Sheridan- its deliciously sexy, suspenseful and dark, and great fun.
Our heroine is tough as nails- and boy, do I love her. She’s unapologetically fierce, a resilient survivor, and so compelling as a heroine. More so than any other SA heroine, she’s completely at ease in her skin. Her self-assurance and confident are refreshing and invigorating - she OWNS her instincts and urges, and she bends to no one. Which makes her a perfect foil for the men of her harem- she’s the kind of heroine who can go toe-to-toe with not one but FOUR bad boys.
Keep in mind this is a series- so we’re still figuring out the guys. I don’t feel like we know any of them TRULY- though we have a bit more of a grasp of King and Cruz. I’ve always loved the intense chemistry SA has created between her leads- but the pacing to get there is going to be different with 5 main characters instead of two. So, thus far, our character's connection is less emotionally developed than I’m used to, but that is because Winter has so many men to spar with. We do have some very intense physical chemistry- LAWD, this is for sure Sheridan’s most sexy book ever
This is some riveting world building, and I’m excited to dig into more of the Dynasty world. The bulk of the book is spent on getting to know our heroine and situating her amongst this delicious man-buffet- starting to establish their dynamics. The suspense and mystery of this bigger elite world picks up in the back half of the story, and the book works at lightning speed then. A LOT happens in the culminating chapters- so I’m still processing and digesting. I know we’ll have more time in the next book to dig into all those revelations and very fast paced decisions- even though for now I’m a bit surprised by Winter’s easy acceptance of what happens as well as still trying to figure out all the players and revelations. I have a lot of questions-but Sheridan also has me thirsty for the answers. I’m not quite sure where this series is going to go, but I wasn’t expecting that finale. Expect a cliffhanger and much to ponder- but good thing book 2 isn’t far away!
Hooooooooooooolyyyyyyyyyyyy sh*t. WAW. JUST WAW. Let me tell you, if you've read the rejects paradise series and loved it and thought that it was good, this book has definitely surpassed it. Sheridan has pulled out all the stop for this one and its magnificent. when I tell you I couldn't put this book down, I genuinely mean it. She's really outdone herself on this one, and its only the first book, there's 3 more to come and i can't freaking wait. If this first instalment is anything to go by, then I guarantee that the rest of this series will be epic. I really don't know what to say other than you have to read this book. ITs literally outstanding, and I'm not just saying that. This is also Sheridans first Revers harem, and boy oh boy has she knocked it out the park. Steamy isn't even the word. If you want read a book that's got naught time in it, then truuuuusssssssst me you don't want to skip out on this one. (literally fanning myslef as I type). All I can tell you without giving to much away, is that when you get the chance, GET READING. You won't regret it I promise. Well done Sheridan, you've an amazing job with this one, and I wait see what happens in the next book. (hopefully more naughty time) 😜😜😜 Enjoy reading. 🖤🖤🖤
This book was everything. You think it's your typical foster girl, new school and bullies... BUT YOU ARE WRONG!
Twists, turns and secrets fill this book and it's only the first of the series.
Winter is the female MC, and she is one badass chick. She can definitely hold her own, but she is vulnerable when she needs to be. But what is it about the boys that rule the school - Carver, King, Cruz and Grayson that makes her forget to not make a scene. They challenge her, but she pushes them right back, which leaves them on the other foot because who would stand up to the Gods that are these guys!!!
This book had me reading faster to find out what happened but then wishing it would never end, ITS THAT GOOD!!!
I need book 2 NOW... that cliffhanger is a doozy!!
For a debut reverse harem, this blew me away!! I really enjoyed the author’s Rejects Paradise series, and I think this one is even better already!
Right away, I was hooked. We really get put right into Winter’s world and pick up on her habits and how bad ass she is. I will say, there were a few moments throughout the book where I wanted to punch her for some rash decision making, but by the end, I feel like I better understood why she was written like this. There’s definitely so much room for her necessary growth! She’s also one of my favorite kind of heroines, who is sexually liberated and isn’t insecure about it. I do like that she had a few low emotional moments, especially after some things she went through, because it’s so human to feel like that and not just have to be bad ass all the time!
The guys... I’m so excited to get to know more about the guys. We get a glimpse into the four of them and their dynamic, and we definitely get to know King and Cruz a little better, but I feel like we’re just at the tip of the iceberg. There’s going to be so much to learn about them, and especially how they’re going to be with our girl 💖 they’re gunning for the Colton Carrington hole in my heart, and they’re already close! (When Carver and Grayson pull their heads out of their butts lol)
The steam.... i loved the steam. So so so good!
And the plot! A lot happens, seemingly in a small amount of time, but it all adds up. I was so excited for what I had started to predict, but i couldn’t predict the ending and that cliffhanger!! I cannot wait for book 2, and i will be anxiously awaiting this series!!
I read a lot of books and I mean a lot. I have never met another author can knock me off my feet like Sheridan can! I read Dynasty the day it hit my kindle and couldn't put it down. This was 4 days ago and I have just now been able to get my thoughts together to write my review. Like WTF Sheridan you would never know this was your first RH because you KILLED it. I LOVED this book and am in a book hangover from it.. Seriously I am struggling to get into anything else because its just that GOOD. I cannot wait to see this book climb the charts for you because it definitely will. This is definitely a series I will have to have the paperbacks to! If your looking for an all consuming book that will leave you on the edge of your seats this is the one. Don't skip it. It is worth reading over and over again. Congratulations on absolutely knocking this book out of the park Sheridan I can't wait for the rest of the series!!
P.S. I never thought I would love a character more than I loved Oceania but Winter has my heart.
📚 𝐃𝐘𝐍𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐘 📚 Is the first full length book within the 'Boys of Winter' series by Sheridan Anne.
After reading ‘Haunted Love’ the other day by this author and enjoying it, I wanted to stay within her bubble longer, so picked this up and dived right in.
I think this is where I prefer the author the most, college age, where drama and angst walk hand in hand.
This had so many twists and turns, and I loved everything this author threw at me. Our heroine was as tough as nails, once she rode into town she shook it to its foundations.
Winter, the girl with no last name, she embodied everything I love in a strong female lead, she took no shit, fought men bigger than herself, and I loved every minute of it. There was so much going on in this book which kept me on my toes throughout, never getting bored and loved every aspect of the storyline and the little snippets of the grittiness whenever she'd let loose on an unsuspecting victim.
Why? The author did it again!! She is amazing!!! Winter grows up In a twisted world and face many challenges growing up. Same challenges make her strong, smart and well prepared for a world full of betrayal and secrets. The boys are divided with affection. Will winter or Elodie take her rightful place? Or will the murderers get her before she goes thru the initiation?? Need book 2 ASAP......
Enjoyed the second half better. The book is good but after reading some amazing dark romances lately. I felt that the enemies angle could been more upfront earlier in the book. Anne is an amazing writer though and I enjoyed my first book from her
Drama, secrecy, darkness, sexy times and a female lead with a lot of strength. Winters been though a lot due to growing up in foster care but it’s given her the strength she will need to survive this new world. The four guys are surrounded in darkness and secrecy but as with all books I love, they soon take a liking to Winter and begin protecting her. The more Winter uncovers about her life the more questions appear. It’s dark, sexy, snarky and grips you from the get go. No more from me as I don’t want to spoil the book for you but definitely worth the read and I can’t wait to see what happens next.
When I first heard about this book I knew I wanted to read it. Then when it hit my kindle, it had me sucked in from chapter one. To say that Sheridan Anne has hit it out of the ballpark on her debut Reverse Harem book, is an understatement. This book has it all! Our FMC is hot AF. She’s badass. She has a personality that is a wet dream for most guys, and a lot of girls too. I love that she isn’t the broken female who needs picking up and putting back together. She’s fierce and goes after what she wants. We’re thrown in right at the deep end with the steam, after less than 30% I was tempted to go buy on of those Tracy’s Dog toys. If you know, you know. 😏😉 Then we have our men. 🥵 The guys have taken dark and brooding to a whole other level. They’re dangerous and addictive and the chemistry is off the charts.🔥 Carver is the typical alpha. Leader and asshole by nature. King is the dangerous one. Cruz is the flirt of the group, he’s the playful one yet still deadly. Grayson has the that mysterious vibe. I’m dying to know what’s behind the mask. Just as we start to find out the ins and outs, knowing who we’re with and who has our girls back we’re dropped onto a massive cliff making me desperate for the next instalment. If you’re looking for a brand spanking new reverse harem read. This is the one 🖤
I'm speechless. Sheridan went and did it again. Be warned that this book will make you beg for more.
Winter is such a strong woman. She has kickass stiletto boots and doesn't let people walk over her. When she's underestimate, she changes people's minds by plummeting her fists into their faces. I love her so much. The boys too. So far King and Cruz are my favourite. And the steamy level of this book is 🔥🥵. I just hate that cliffhanger though. Now I can't stop thinking about what is gonna happen in the next book!
So this is Sheridan Anne's first foray into RH....well she certainly entered with a bang! This book shoots her into the big leagues and is up there with the very best. Brilliant writing, full of twists and turns and the heat...we cant forget the heat! Loved every minute of it. The ending just about killed me, I love a good cliffhanger!
Friggin blown away! Sheridan Anne has smashed it out the park with her debut reverse harem. The darkness, twists, turns, secrets and betrayal served with an epic dose of SAUCYNESS! Dynasty has everything and more to keep you guessing!🖤
Winter, god damn she has now become my ultimate favourite female character. She is feisty, gorgeous with a whole side of BADASSARY you do not want to mess with. There is definately a vulnerable element to Winter that we see and has your heart being pulled at and feeling her every emotion. But HOLY HECK I AM CRUSHING ON WINTER!!😜
Now where do i even begin with Cruz, King, Carver & Grayson there dynamics and alphaness is actually beyond enticing & captivating. The instant you meet them you will gravitate. I LOVE how each of them have their own personalities and let me tell yas... your going to be swooning, feeling hot & wanting more!
That friggin ending left me gapsing for friggin breath and searching for more friggin pages! The whole of this book had be fully captivated and desperate to see the next twists and turns.. pleaseeee can i have book 2 of the Boys Of Winter series!
If you loved Madison Kate by Tate James or Rydeville Elite by Siobhan Davis, then DYNASTY by Sheridan Ann is perfect for you! It has a strong MFC, hot alpha men, and a secret society. Oh, and to make it even better it is a REVERSE HAREM! Yes! Sheridan has wrote her first RH and it is AMAZING!
Winter is a foster kid who has been bounced around from one home to the next when, 2 months before her 18th birthday, she lands at the foster home of hell. She is strong, tough and resilient. The fun begins when she meets the “popular” guys at their school. King, Cruz, Carver and Greyson are it. She is intrigued by their mysterious ways as they are of her.
It is like a rope connected between them that she cannot deny the pull of. So intense!
This book is one wild ride! That ending will have you wanting, NEEDING more! This is a 5 star and a must read!!
Holy shit what a wild ride! This is Sheridan Anne’s first book in her very first RH series and she has knocked it out of the park! I absolutely devoured this book! I binge read it in 2 days! The FMC is a badass who doesn’t need any man to help her. The men are hot and intriguing. The storyline is beautifully written! This book pulled all kinds of feelings out of me and I am wrecked. There were so many twist and turns I never knew what was going to happen next! I can’t wait for the next book to see what happens! I highly recommend this book! 10 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am here for Sheridan Anne writing RH! Honestly her first dabble into the trope was a massive success. I loved the plot and drama of this story. I am so intrigued by Dynasty and the premise and breadcrumbs have been laid beautifully. My favourite thing about this author is her humour and how she entwines it seamlessly: "There’s no point peeling a potato if you don’t plan on mashing it, and damn it, this potato is going to get mashed." “Get your a** downstairs, cowboy, because I’m about to bust it wide open.” I also thoroughly enjoyed a fmc that didn't witness irritating, suspicious or strange behaviour and say 'hmm I acknowledge that's weird but I won't ask any questions or call them out on their shit' like most fmc I've read in this trope do, which is utterly infuriating and totally not realistic. If a man, any man let alone a man I am sleeping with is being shady or shifty right in front of me I'm not going to say "well if he wanted me to know he'd tell me"... you best believe every woman I know is going to say something, anything! I thoroughly enjoyed how Winter handled these situations. In this regard Winter is a breath of fresh air for the genre. She accepts her limits and shows strength not just in her confidence, fury and badass moves but in her resilience and emotional strength after so much turmoil. I love all the women Sheridan writes, Ocean from Rejects Paradise is one of my all time favs! But I think she'll be sharing the mantle with Winter no last name from here on out! I'm so bloody intrigued with the guys dynamic. I adore Cruz, tantalised by King, drool for Carver and sit on a knifes blade to watch Grayson. And can I just say how freaking excited I was to see an 8 week turn around for the next book?!! That is basically unheard of and I'm so thankful for the work ethic you are driving!!
This book was dark, steamy and full of twists and turns. I didn’t know what to expect but I loved every minute of this book. I’m pretty new to Sheridan Anne’s books and they are definitely my type 😆 I was so excited when I heard this series would be RH. (Addicted to RH’s 😉)
I love the tension and chemistry Winter has with the male leads. 🔥🔥🔥They are all such Alphas and definitely drool worthy. It made me swoon with how some of them got so protective of her. Winter is such a bad*ss girl and takes no shit. I can’t wait for book 2 to learn about more of this world and more about what Dynasty is all about and any more secrets being hidden. This book made me smile, laugh, tear up, all the emotions I love while reading a great book!
4.0/4.5 ⭐ Overall really liked it and look forward to more in this series.
**WIP Review **
Dark contemporary RH with enemies-to-lovers angst. Fast burn. FMC with BDE, though her delivery had me cheering at times and shaking my head during others. Fighting is one of her vices, and while she's proven scrappy when on the offensive, her defense could use some work. She's never had someone to count on or look after her, so pulling the "I can handle myself" card is her default, even when it goes against her self-interest or she's way out of her depth. But at the same time, I was rooting for her. Cheering at times and shouting a "f**k yes!".
I'm enjoying the setup and hope to see more of character development in the next book, for Winter and the guys. The story is told first person POV by the FMC, so our insights on the guys are limited to her observations, experiences, and perceptions.
FMC skirts too far into TSTL territory for my tastes for a bit - her stubbornness and acting without thinking, or being dense. But she won me back by the end and perhaps this is part of her character arc.
Holy Moley! I was surprised to learn that this is Sheridane’s first RH series as this did not feel like it. From the very first page it hooked you in and left you wanting more. This is definitely her best book to date.
Winter is a character that had to fend for herself all her life, only could count on one person to take care of her, that being herself. What happens when she's thrust into a new city that has more secrets then she could ever think possible. What happens when she catches the eyes of the men of Ravenwood, the town she now resides in.
As we see a story of coming of age where you must finally accept the past isn’t always what you think. Can Winter accept the path that is put before her and finally become the woman she was always meant to be.
I am excited to see where this story continues as there are always secrets hidden in the dark of night. Will you fight the darkness that you find yourself falling into or do what is right and make a stand for what is right.
From the first chapter to the last, you will run through a wide range of emotions, then be left holding your breath. Sheridan has given us a story full of action, betrayal, pain, confusion, secrets, lies, and heartbreak. When you think you have something figured out, something is said, or done, that will blow your thoughts to pieces. Winter is our very stubborn leading lady, and she has no clue the mess she's just found her way into. She's a fighter that believes she can take on anything alone. Enter Carver, King, Cruz, and Grayson, the four guys who are about to shatter the life Winter thinks she knows. These guys will make you dizzy trying to figure them out. They are such a mystery to everyone, so much hidden inside their heads, I couldn't help but be intrigued by them. With every turn of the page I was made more desperate for their truths. I believe the only one more curious to uncover who the guys really are is Winter. Her mission to discover the hidden truths is filled with more danger than she's ever known. The things she goes through are not only terrifying, but absolutely heartbreaking as well. I cried with her during parts, and feared for her. The feeling of losing yourself, of being stripped of your rights, and the fear that you will never be you again, is soul crushing. The past that Winter fought so hard to survive, it is nothing compared to her now, or what I'm sure is coming in her near future. With the way things ended in this book, I can only imagine the carnage that will unleash in book two. While this one wiped the floor with my thoughts and emotions, I can't resist being a glutton for more. It's just that good!
DNF at page 100. I’ve read my share of reverse harem books. I’m a sucker for bully high school romance tropes, but this one....how are there so many 5 star reviews for this book? As soon as King snuck into Winter’s bedroom to “warn her” I was rolling my eyes. The dude doesn’t know Winter, nor does he care about her in any capacity to “warn her” to not mess with his friends. And then Winter just decides to have sex with him because for some reason she has instant attraction to all 4 of the boys? For being such a bad ass character she sure developed lust for these boys pretty quickly.
I love myself a sassy heroine but I found Winter to be an instigator for no good reason. After her first day of school she assumed the 4 boys were going to fuck with her so she made sure to let them know not to fuck with her even though none of them had done a single thing besides the car being too close to her bike. So she assumed the 4 boys would care enough to fuck with the new girl? I don’t know it was all just predictable and I really don’t like with authors chose to wait 50 pages in to introduce the main love interests.
Maybe I’ve read too many of these types of books but gahh insta lust/unprotected sex with a stranger who breaks into your room at night? No.
Woooooow!!!!!! . This has some out the box content and I love it!!!! . I wasn’t expecting that! And I certainly wasn’t expecting that bomb of a ending!!! I’m hooked! Not gonna lie, at first I got some Dark Legacy vibes in the beginning but then it completely flipped and added that darkness that hits you right off the bat. I wasn’t expecting that direction and that pace at all, and I hope that that situation is resolved through out the series otherwise that’s a huge loose end. . I love the characters! Winter is suave a headstrong, independent character, which is both a good and bad because that stubbornness got her into a whole heap of trouble and her decision making skills could definitely use some work but I love her no nonsense, call it like she sees it attitude. I’m so glad this is a RH because I’m having a hard time picking a fave and I mean, why choose. All the guys are unique and offer something different to the story but they could also almost be one person which is crazy. . The spice! Omg! I felt like I needed a dip in some holy water, damn this is spicy and it’s intense! There’s also some next level James bondage going on and I love it. It’s so unique and sets this book apart from your regular dark RH romance. There’s a lot of unique situations which you don’t see regularly in these books and if this first book in the series was this much of a banger right off the bat I can only imagine what Sheridan has in store for us next. . This is a whirlwind of excitement, suspense, intrigue and a whole heap more! Bring on book 2!!!
Girl why you never used to write RH i dont know because you killed it with this one.
I love Winter- she is so badass, smart, unforgiving and everything I love in a heroine. I love her boys too- they captured my heart easily and I cant wait to see their relationship grow.
So many revelations, secrets, and love to come in the next book and I cant wait because this cliffhanger KILLED me.
Now this was just a pile of shit. I would have loved this book if it wasn't for the heroine.
I've never hated a heroine this much. Such a waste of time. The guys deserve better than a selfish and hypocritical woman like Winter. And you're telling me that a barely 18 year old, who has a chip on her shoulder, is the leader of an underground group?! And she automatically somehow pulls off the "I'm the leader eventhough I just figured out about this group 5 minutes ago"?! I kept mentally smacking my face when I read about the next stupid thing Winter managed to do.
The concept is interesting but ummm... maybe make it more understandable I guess? And maybe ditch the bitchy heroine?
Ugh. I want a harem. Omg what a book. Rh at its finest. Sheridan always gets me hooked in her series and this one takes the cake. Winter is such a strong girl with what she’s lived through and I can’t wait to see what happens next. I’m so invested in this story I couldn’t put it down until finished. Fantastic start to a series. I need book 2 yesterday
