I listened to the Graphic Audio version because I wasn’t sure if how much I would like this series going in. I’m not sure if my rating would be as high if I actually read it as the writing/dialogue was pretty cringe throughout, but I also love trashy TV so it scratched an itch in that way. None of the characters were likable let alone love-able, not even the Vega twins; however, the world itself is interesting and I like how it incorporated a smorgasbord of fantasy creatures rather just Fae. I knew that bullying would be a central plot point but the events right before the end honestly made me feel sick. I will probably read the next one to see how they get their revenge. 🫣
Graphic: Bullying
Moderate: Car accident, Death of parent, and Fire/Fire injury
