This book contains mature content. So if you're underage, overly sensitive, or easily scandalized—consider this your friendly read-at-your-own-risk notice. You've been warned.
Now, let's talk perfection: it doesn't exist. Not in real life, and certainly not in this book—unless we're discussing fictional men, in which case, yes, they are legally allowed to be flawless and dangerously swoon-worthy. The characters in this book are messy, moody, and magnificently human. They make mistakes. They trip over their own emotions. They don't always say the right things. But that's kind of the point, right? So maybe keep the judge-y thoughts at bay and just enjoy the ride.
Yes, the plot moves fast. No, it's not a typo. Murder, love, chaos—they all happen at the speed of drama. So if things escalate quicker than your last situationship, know that it's all intentional and a fact. Therefore, readers are kindly asked not to express surprise or disbelief at the immediacy of events (especially if you are into slow-burn).
A small confession: the first few chapters are short, snappy, and not professionally edited until we hit Chapter Eight. I know. But hang in there. The plot thickens, the drama explodes, and from Chapter Nine onwards, everything is polished, proofread, and served with a literary bow on top.
To my grammar-loving, flow-obsessed readers—I see you, I love you, and I promise: your reward is just a few chapters away.
Now go forth, turn pages, fall in love, gasp out loud, and maybe text a friend at 3 a.m. about that scene.
Happy reading, you beautiful human.
