I couldn't stop reading this book. I mean, I literally couldn't stop. I'd set it down, pick up my laptop to get some work done, and the book would start whispering things like, "What do you think Tristan and Isabel are doing now?" I'd manage to bluff a little work for ten minutes, then my hands, of their own free will, would pick up the book and I'd be immersed in the story again without consciously making that decision.

Narration alters between Tristan and Isabel, and both are written in first person. The transitions are clear, with their names listed at the top of each section. Their voices are distinct, so it's easy to tell who's narrating even without the section labels.

Meredith Wild manages to make a killer lovable, which isn't an easy feat. Tristan captivated me from the start. Isabel's character is just as strong and compelling. The two combined are explosive.

The plot is complex but never confusing. The pace is steady, with surprises and twists that kept me wanting to turn "just one more page."

This book has a satisfying ending, while leaving a perfect opening for what's to come in the next book. No major cliffhangers, which I greatly appreciate, but just enough to leave us wanting more. And I definitely want more.
