It’s a 4.25⭐️ for me.

The first thing I did is that I read the blurb and I was intrigued by it, after that getting to know what happens and how it happens was the priority. Murder mystery meets dark romance, I am impressed. The concept is highly fascinating and I was on the edge throughout the book. What I did was make theories, cussing on characters, blaming the scenarios and it was all very entertaining for me.

The main character’s name is Theodore which feels so very ancient to me but short of it is ‘Thea’ which I liked a lot. Xavier is a very cute name too. The plot is damm strong and addicting and it is well executed. I loved how refined the author had worked in detailing and bringing life to the situation. It felt like I was watching a movie or show.

The only thing I hate in a book is cheating and miscommunication when both the mains know that they can’t live without each other and this book kept that persona almost till the end. It was hard to read it through with that emotion in my mind even though I knew somewhere in my heart that he will not cheat. It breaks my heart to see the things happening but luckily in the end, the air gets cleared up, and it is stated that he never cheated in reality. That was the little peace for me on that front.

Both the characters and their friends are lovable and caring. Thea is sweet, strong, and very intelligent. Xavier is a mystery, a lot about him is anticipated, and he hides his emotions well. I feel that the situations are not ideal and take a toll on mental health. I am pleased with the ending and the way it took.
