These people are idiots. Seriously they are so dumb. It follows Rune, a blood witch, who must hide who she is from everyone, especially head of the guard, Gideon. Rune spends the novel as a vigilante and Gideon spends it trying to track that vigilante down. 

These two, from the very very beginning, are like “He/She is on to me. Or are they? I wish I could know for sure…” and then spend the next few hundred pages acting in ways that (should have been) sure to get them caught. And then being like “I have to continue to do this dangerous thing even though I’m sure the other person knows, to keep up my ruse (which they aren’t falling for)”. 

Like, I get that there’s tension when it’s like “I think he knows..but does he..best keep flirting and hanging out with him just in case..”, and that worked for a bit. But it got so old so fast. Either the author should have made them each less sure in their suspicions, or done something to change the main conflict. I found this so stupid, these people deserve whatever bad things come their way because they acted like total dumbasses. I also didn’t really care about the romance, neither one if them is very likable, and I found Alex super super annoying too. 

I’m sorry. Not really fun at all imo.
