These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan 

I am still stuck in my YA rabbit hole... 

This book however, was uh-may-zing! 

I absolutely loved the ending! The growth leading up to it, literally had me up at 3 am binging as many pages as I could.

Although a lot of Brie's choices do reflect the YA demographic, her growth throughout the journey is very well done. She learns from her past and adapts before the next obstacle. 

In my typical fashion, I was instantly rooting for the mysterious broody villain over the kind hearted lifelong friend. 🤷‍♀️ What can I say, I clearly have a type. 

I am absolutely buzzing about the ending and am seriously debating ignoring my real life tasks to start book two immediately.
