Since the book is a gender bent retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo, I decided to rewatch the movie (haha yes I’m that person! Sometimes I prefer the movie) plus a young Henry Cavill has a small role in it 😍 and I probably should have made myself a Monte Cristo sandwich just to top it off 😂.

Told from Amaya and Cayo’s POV, I thought this book was pretty fast paced. As the story progresses, both characters start to realize, that the people they knew or loved had secrets covered up by lies, blackmail and manipulation. There were a couple of twists, the ending was satisfying and I will most likely continue this series.

I also liked the diversity of the characters  represented and the authors description of the local food... yum!
