The premise was intriguing at first. However, the characters became a repetitive annoyance. Sebastian spends the entire book worried about Helene (Juliet), always in his cautious, heartache melancholy. He was a far more compelling character than Helene though. Helene has no distinctive characteristics that make her likeable - bland, unoriginal, damsel in distress vibes before and after meeting Sebastian. 70% of the book both characters repeating the same thing - "Why is he acting like xyz?", "Am I really the love of his life, Juliet?", and "I have to protect her, I have to distance myself". I really did not like how there were several back-to-back chapters that switched between Helene and Sebastian's POVs about the same situation. The big bad in this book is defeated with Sebastian's copious, unquestionable wealth and connections - it felt so silly and reminded me too much of rich, old vampires with their pretty playthings.
Save your time, skip this book.
