2,5 This book wasn't particularly bad, but it missed the mark for me on almost everything that could have been missed. First and foremost: Saoirse, the female main character. Couldn't stand her. She was unlikable from the beginning, then I felt somewhat indifferent to her and in the end, I just had to come to terms that I didn't like her. She was rude to basically everyone. The relationship and the way she acted with her sister: it's a no from me. Hayes, male main character, on the other hand got more likable the more the book progresses. The romance between those two though, very weak. Wasn't really feeling it. Mainly because of Saoirse. Both main characters are supposed to be 17, however, except for very few scenes, none of them acted like 17year olds. They should have been aged up to at least 20, to make them make sense. I was considering to DNF around 30% in, but then more characters appeared and I thought things would get interesting enough. Well, not sure if they did. The only reason I kept reading was because I wanted to know about the two (very dragged out) mysteries. And even that partially disappointed. The writing, especially in the beginning, was a bit rough, which might be a reason why I had issues with the worldbuilding. A world where different species (fae with different affinities, witches, humans, sirens & co) live together was intriguing and considering how this book ended, I can see how this will be more explored in the sequel. Won't be continuing this series.
