Not my usual genre but decided to give it a shot based on @farmhousevernacular's recommendation on IG, and I enjoyed it. 3.5 with ups and downs. This was a solid 4 for most of the book but trended downward in the last 20% or so, with an ending that can't even be called a cliffhanger - it just stopped. Obviously this is part of a duology (trilogy, now?) so I get that it's going to continue on, but there was zero effort made to have this be a self-contained story arc. There were a couple of lazy edits (I think the author thinks the word “enrapt” is “on rapt”?) but overall fun writing and decent dialogue. Spicy with a twist I didn't expect.
