Well this was kind of a throwback to the
olden days of YA 😂
You know, when you got your average/ordinary YA girl protagonist who turns out to
be some sort of Chosen One and also finds herself in a love triangle between
Mr. Nice Guy and Bad Boy.
I'll be honest, this book was... not interesting.
The protagonist, Avery, was bland, Mr. Nice Guy, Jack, was boring, and even Bad
Boy, Stellan, was disappointing.
And the plot?
The plot is… kind of ridiculous. It was this mix of secret societies and sort
of fantasy that was somehow supposed to mix with conspiracies/treasure hunting
in a contemporary setting with historical fiction background so… yeah, weird.
I also really did not appreciate the sexism in the secret society.
Usually, I try to find at least one thing to hang onto when I read a book, be it
the romance, a certain character, the plot. Here... I got nothing. Welp.

“The thing is, being lonely is like walking in the cold without a coat. It’s uncomfortable, but eventually you go numb. Once you get used to not being lonely, though, the shock of going back is like having your down comforter yanked off at six o’clock on a Minnesota December morning.”
