This was such a unique thriller. Of course I adore Alyssa Cole, so I'm not shocked. Highly recommend

I am still confused. I honestly didn't enjoy this book as much as book one. A friend recommended chapter summaries, which were helpful. However, having to supplement to understand the book was a little annoying. The vibes weren't as enjoyable for me in this book as they were in book one.

This starts a bit slow, but it builds to a GREAT ending. I really enjoyed this. I love time travel, and this delivered.

This duology was a good time. I like books that have anything to do with memory and this one delivered. Twists, plots, and conspiracy. The end felt a bit rushed but I would still recommend it.

This was phenomenal. If you like media, (mostly music), along with social and cultural discussions, this is perfect for you. I couldn't put this down. His writing whole sharing his experiences through media are hypnotic and gripping.

I would have finished this faster, but I'm slumpy. I loved this series! I have a small complaint about the end but it's a major spoiler and I would still read it again despite. I also still recommend it regardless. Dragons & riders, the morally gray world, the politics, the battles, the found family. This book made me cry. That doesn't happen often

Thank you to libro.fm for the advanced copy. I'm very grateful.
Slow burn, good twists, and a gossipy neighborhood with a decades old tragedy. I really enjoyed this!
