Will StoryGraph let me give a 5.75? Shauna Lawless is now a “read whatever she writes” author in book. Honestly the first time I heard of her books I scoffed but it’s 11pm - I have a big work meeting tomorrow, but I’ll be starting the third book and silently mumbling under my breath if she kills off my favorite characters/couple I will never forgive her.
