DNF pg. 131 (45%)

For the first time ever, I am giving up on a Jeaniene Frost book. While I think the idea of the world is interesting, I am really struggling with the characters in this one. Ivy and Adrian are meh characters for me and they continue to do things that irritate me. Mainly, how often it is brought up that information is being withheld because they don’t want to stress out Ivy but then expect her to know wtf to do. Also, I got tired of hearing Ivy’s constantly thinking about how hot Adrian is, even as he was being an asshole to her. 

Basically I think this would have been an interesting world if the characters hadn’t gotten in the way. 

TW: kidnapping, violence; death of parents; grief; references to being institutionalized, slavery, cannibalism,
