My Thoughts

I was impressed with how Seth’s and Libby’s characters were brought to life in the story. The author did an excellent job crafting their personalities and making them feel genuine. In particular, I found Libby incredibly relatable, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the story.

On the other hand, Seth’s character was a fascinating contrast to Libby’s. He strongly preferred structure and predictability, which made him a foil to Libby’s more chaotic nature. This dynamic created an exciting tension between the two characters and kept me engrossed in their interactions.

However, everything changed when Libby landed the Seth’s girl Friday position. These unexpected events added a new layer of excitement to the story. It was fascinating to see how Libby’s life and relationship with Seth evolved.

Overall, this was an enjoyable enemies-to-lovers story. It’s a quick and enjoyable read that will make you feel joyful and festive. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys this type of trope.

Thank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for allowing me to read and review this book.

BLURB
Maggie Maxwell didn’t mean to become the town’s newest scandal.

But moving into her dead uncle’s haunted manor came with more than creaky headboards—it came with murders. Multiple. Right in her backyard.

And a six-foot-four officer, built like a wall of muscle and her filthiest desires, babysitting her like she’s breakable. He’s brooding, bossy, and overprotective—and Maggie? She’s sworn off quick flings. Especially since her love spell has a new side effect: obsessive, zombie-like exes who abandon their families just to worship the ground she walks on.

HARLOW
Insanity—I can taste it lingering on the tip of my tongue, threatening to slip down my throat and poison me. But my hunger for revenge is relentless. And I’m not leaving this earth until my appetite has been satiated. 

The only problem: I’m being robbed of my sins before I can commit them. And I know exactly who’s to blame.

LYNX
She’s prepared to stain her soul by seeking sweet revenge. And although I enjoy watching her toy with her prey, I won’t allow her to condemn herself to hell for eternity. 

I’ll lurk in the dark, stealing her gratification the way she steals my breath, until every drop of blood of the men who wronged her has run dry. 

After all, monsters like me were built for this.
