Well, it was okay, not perfect but not bad

3.5-3.75 🌟
It wasn't wow, but I didn't suffer either if you understand what I mean. There were things that bothered me, but I did smile and laugh here and there through the story line.
Maybe if I read it at the beginning when I started reading romance books I'd definitely give it a 5 🌟
I Continue to the next book in the series, I'll update about it soon ❤️

A solid canvas for this complex story

It was dark. Not pitch black, but it was still difficult to see the light–or the romance, in this case. Lust, there was plenty. Attraction, fascination, obsession. Love, hard to tell, besides the characters’ own words. But let’s say that there was some, it kind of showed in little things–Levi’s protective side, some gentler moments when they talk instead of arguing. It’s a dark romance, after all.

With a lot of side characters. And though we don’t see as much of them as we do of Astrid and Levi–and we don’t get their point of view–they all have their own agenda that doesn’t revolve around the main couple, and it was interesting. I wanted to know more about Astrid’s father, about her best friend, about the rest of the football team. They aren’t just here to move the romance forward. Even though some of them were really of the villain-y kind, with little to no nuance.

It wasn’t coming out of nowhere exactly, but there was still a twist near the end that brought the whole story to its closure, and it was nicely done. There were motifs, patterns, parallels, that created a solid canvas for this complex story.

As for the narration, the female narrator did a great job with the accent–not sure if it’s her real one–while the male narrator wasn’t always as good. It was still an interesting audiobook to listen to.

Finally Got to Levi and Astrid

I've read this series not in order. But the chemistry between Levi and Astrid was so on point as to follow the rest of the series. Astrid was the most sassy and baddy of the all the girls from RES. Levi was probably the second most...possessive of the guys. The suspense, the secrets the twists and turns were all there. They push and pull each other and I was living for all of it. The audio is different from the rest of the series, but I enjoyed it all the same. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.
