I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to see what's next from Lexi Ryan! An emotional romantasy with MCs that are thrown into impossible situations, and yet they always work to do what's best for the majority rather than themselves. I'm not usually into a love triangle but Ryan managed to make me love it. The only reason I can't do full 5 stars is because I felt the last 50 pages were really rushed and I would've appreciated if it were slowed down.
I actually loved that Sebastian wasn't made into a villain as I was expecting. It was so refreshing and humanized the story alot.

Lovedddd itttttt! I love a love triangle, especially when there's a tortured shadow daddy - I found alot of plot points kind of predictable, but it didn't make them any less fun! Can't wait to see what happens next.

A well-paced tale that follows a mother-daughter relationship; what is expected of them, their reality, and the generational trauma that can accompany them. I found the main character Tamar interesting and loved the slow decline into horror.

I went into this one a big fan of the author's other works - and I did really love this story. This biggest thing that stopped this one from being 5 stars for me was the romantic plot - i just wasn't feeling it. It's probably a me thing! But the world, MCs, and plot are killer, and I'm excited to read the rest of the series and see where it goes.

A perfect YA fantasy! I loved all the MCs and the world is well built. Good romantic tropes - 'who hurt you', concealed identity, forced proximity, injury.

Loved the storyline - it was definitely an info-dump of a book though. I liked the many POVs but it did sometimes get disorienting. Otherwise it was enj yable and what I expected!

A cute supernatural rom-com! I enjoyed the MMC but I did find the MFC harder to empathize with - she just rubbed me the wrong way I suppose. That said, I did still enjoy it and would recommend as a lighthearted read!

Read this one in a day - I couldn't put it down. Annie's development and growth is riveting - as she grows and questions her existence, she has more and more emotions that conflict with her coding. I found her so well written and will be thinking about this one for awhile!
