✔️ I really love the heroes, and her relationship progression with them all. Here we know that Madison has psychology exams (THAT SHE PRIORITISES OVER HANGING OUT WITH HER BOYFRIENDS! GOOD FOR HER) and it makes a world of difference. If you think back to James’s other book Princess Ballot (something I try not to do so much) we had there a heroine who started university without us ever knowing her subject, and who apparently started it without even graduating high school. ✔️ We actually see Madison do a LOT of studying for her exams, and I’m so pleased that the little filler details are being taken care of in this series. Now here we have Madison, whom I’m basically heaping praise on just for acting like such a normal person in comparison.

When I think back to all the bully romances I suffered through, I want to shudder at how brain-dead some of those characters acted. Reading this book, where MK actually possesses a heavy dose of common sense, has made me realise just how normalised dumb behaviour from heroines has become in some romantic subgenres. She has her head screwed on right (most of the time, anyway) and her sass is endearing without coming off as forced. ✔️ Madison Kate is a very likeable heroine. Here you go, a quick little roundup of my thoughts…

I gave the last book 3.5 stars, and those don’t sound like amazing ratings, but I actually had a lot of fun reading them. No one stabs Madison Kate and gets away with it.Īnother 3.5 stars, rounded up because I’m feeling generous. They thought they could play me but they’re about to learn that they’ve met their match. Am I desperate enough to fall for more deception?Īrcher and his boys made a huge mistake when they lied to me. Someone is taunting me with answers and teasing me with secrets. Someone knows more about my life than I do. I’ve been lied to, repeatedly, by people I was growing to trust. Since arriving back into Shadow Grove, I’ve been stalked, tormented, chased and almost killed. I have no idea if it’s the lie I know, or one that I don’t. The words scrawled on the back of my newest stalker mail makes my blood run cold.
