From page one, Hazel had me completely hooked with her fierce, absolutely-zero-fucks-given attitude. She's the kind of FMC who walks into a room and immediately makes everyone else's problems seem like a them issue. The mystery surrounding both Hazel and Lux kept me glued to the pages. Every answer seemed to uncover three more questions, and I was happily along for the ride, playing detective the entire time. And the tension? Absolutely criminal. The slow burn between these two had me kicking my feet, giggling, and aggressively swiping at my kindle for just one more interaction.
