From very different worlds, June and Day have no reason to cross paths - until the day June's brother, Metias, is murdered and Day becomes the prime suspect. Caught in the ultimate game of cat and mouse, Day is in a race for his family's survival, while June seeks to avenge Metias's death.

"Worth reading as it deals with a couple who meet from different classes and how with them working together will change a country for the better!"

"Started off slow but definitely picked up as it went on. Great dystopian/adventure book. As similar as it is to other novels I’ve read, I still really liked the characters and the direction the plot took. Stoked to read the rest of the series at some point. "

"So I DNF this book. I’m writing this in a hurry so just to sum up my problem. The author kept telling me that that the MC was very intelligent but didn’t give me any evidence of that. I’m just supposed to believe they are smart just because she told me they were."

"This book was so good I read it in a day. It's been on my booktok tbr for a while but I never really looked at it because it was hyped to much, but it was kinda worth the hype. I didn't like Day in the beginning, or June, but as the book progressed, I ended up liking the characters very much. That doesn't usually happen unless there are major secrets revealed or character development, but this book was a solid 4.5/5⭐ Would have been 5 stars if there was more character development, but we can't have everything "

"This book took a turn I absolutely wasn’t expecting. I was captivated the entire time. Being able to see both June and Day’s point of views added so much more to the story. It left you needing to know what happens next"
