I could never have guessed in the beginning of the book that I would gulf down 75% of it nearly non-stop. Once the book found its groove (around chapter 6 or 7 for me), I stopped being slightly annoyed that everyone was just super horny and there wasn't much plot or lore being revealed, and was able to just enjoy the ride.

There's a dizzying heaviness to the lusty, romantic, Scottish countryside atmosphere of this book. It feels like they're all under a spell and so are you. It's an exciting feeling, slightly spooky, very spice-heavy, and disorienting.

The ending of the book was exciting, giving us some much needed plot-development! Makes me actually want to continue this series, wishing for a dark and twisted sequel ✨️✨️

I would call this a vibey immersive read for a weekend at home alone, not something to pick up if you're looking for a literary masterpiece. But it was really fun all the same, and hit the spot just right.
