My first ARC 💝
received through Pen Pinery.
I was pretty excited going into this one because the tropes and blurb immediately caught my attention. Secret identities, a sniper MMC, a mysterious masked FMC known as Il Cigno.
I enjoyed the banter between Matteo and Mia, and their tension was probably one of my favorite parts. Their relationship starts more as strangers, and I liked watching them slowly get closer. Mia also has that sunshine energy while still feeling strong, which I appreciated.
The plot was fairly easy to follow, although I did find myself questioning a few things along the way. There were moments where I was like, “Wait… that’s it? hmmmm… okay.” 🙂
I also wished some parts of their backstories…and especially some of Matteo’s decisions had been explored a little more.
Matteo definitely has the morally grey thing going for him, but his obsession unfortunately didn’t quite hit for me. I wanted to feel a little more of that intensity between them.
The spice: 🌶️ 🌶️
Overall, this wasn’t really my cup of tea, but I can see this being a fun read for anyone who enjoys romantic suspense, secret identities, and a mysterious masked heroine ❤️🔥
