The Shadows Between Us

Average rating3.5
On the one hand, the story had potential, and apart from a bad taste in women, Kallias is a nice guy. But the female protagonist is a real piece of work. She thinks she's all sneaky and smart, but in fact she's just an arrogant diva who's lucky because she finds rich friends. She has no respect for the working class at all and only thinks about her own happiness. And just when you think she's grown a little and learned to love someone, her first solution is to kill him because things aren't going well. What? What's wrong with a good conversation?
For good measure, I tear my sister's note to pieces before tossing the paper to the floor for someone else to clean up.
GRRAAAAA! The rage I felt🤬 Is it the author's intention to make troelala as unlikeable as possible?
This review would have been a lot more positive if she got what was coming to her at the end. Apparently Charlie N. Holmberg was a feedback partner during the writing, so now I'm worried about Holmberg's books on my TBR.

It was a pain to read, I cringed so bad. This is book meant for teenagers and not adults and as an adult, I won't look at this book or series ever again.

I'm sorry to say this wasn't it for me. Thought about DNFing this book several times to be honest. I just didn't like the main character at all (and it's not because she's morally grey, i just could not sympathise with her at all). I liked the idea but not the execution of this book, it felt a bit like a (not so well written) fanfiction. I will say that I liked the last 100 pages a lot betterbecause it picked up a little speed then.
