I think I have read 3 books from this author and I believe I loved 3 of them so much because the MMCs were all unhinged yet so funny. Actually Sebastian, or Bash, was also so unhinged and little bit funny in here. He fixated (in a good way) on Livingston/Livy since he was 10 years old. He was so crazy in love with her since he was that young. Not make sense at all to be honest but everything could happen in fiction world. Livingston was also having the type of insta-love to Bash the moment they met again, though at that time she didn't know anything about Bash. Their love story was actually so good. One of my problems was that there was no details in how they met in the past. How on earth 10 years old Bash met Livy? Until the end of the book, I didn't know how these kids met back then. I wish there were more background story on their pasts.
Another problem I have with the story was the way the author threw up many names with important roles without explaining who they were, how they connected with each other, and why they were the way they were. I partially understand maybe the author wants to explain them in next book(s), but personally I need contexts so I am not confused with the story. I am glad I previously read 3 other books from this author, I could imagine myself so confused if I didn't.
The suspense plot was actually really good. However I felt like it solved in a rush. I thought it would be ended in grand reveal but personally I think it was so anticlimactic and flat. Like hah? That was it? Just like that?
Though I have a feeling that this series just would be the same like the previous one from this author, because I could see the sameness in characters, I hope I am wrong and the next book(s) would surprise me.
Thank you to London Snow and The Smuthood for the ARC.
