This book was amazing. I feel so honoured to have received an ARC to read because I am blown away by this book. (Thank you to the publisher and author.) 

Firstly, the plot itself was interesting and some of the twists and turns actually caught me off guard. There was a couple plot twists I did not see coming that had me gasp out loud. 

The characters themselves are so complex and well-rounded. There is a lot of morally grey characters in this, and I love that so much. They feel so much more real, and I love the complexity of it all. 

Patrick was a really great character, and I really enjoyed his POV and getting to know what he was thinking and learning what he had experienced, and what shaped him. 

And Nina blew me away. The inner struggle she deals with as she tries to figure out her loyalties and what she really wants felt so emotional, and I felt the tension and anxiety she was going through. 

There were some great side characters, but the main characters have my heart in this one. (And that's rare - usually I prefer the side characters.) 

Overall a really great read, and one part of getting an ARC that sucks is having to wait even longer for the second book. I cannot wait to read it when it's out!
