I received an e-arc for an honest review... and I honestly loved this so much more than I expected to! The story was engrossing and surprising. The characters were realistic, with all their emotions being explained in ways that felt authentic. There were wonderful sibling relationships between the Amberwood siblings as well as the Shaw brothers. The story was told throughout the book from the point of view switching between Victoria and Elijah, and this really helped me to commiserate with both characters, despite them being on opposing sides to the plot. I found myself siding with both characters, even though they conflicted. The Amberwood siblings pursue a complex revenge scheme, but it did not feel overly done. There were twists and changes that occurred that felt authentic and not forced. The ending of this book left me happy! I felt that it was satisfying and justified... but I was also left wanting for more.
