I received an ARC of this book from the author and it isnβt a style of romance I would normally read, but Iβm all for branching out discovering new stories. The blurb got my attention and grabbed my attention. I am so glad that I decided to take a chance on this story, because it was so good! I got sucked into the story and couldnβt put it down.
I loved Eve, despite having a string of bad birthdays and not really feeling like she belonged anywhere after a tragic event, she still remained strong. She was finally somewhere were she could form friendships and bonds. Not only was Eve a very well-developed character, but the secondary characters were as well. You were able to get a feel of all those that Eve was close to and you were rooting for everyone by the end. It helps set the story and allows for future books in this series.
Variant Lost is definitely a slow burn, reverse harm and the chemistry between Eve and her guys was on fire. It didnβt feel like she had more of a connection with one versus the others which was nice. She truly wanted to be equally split between them all.
This story was one crazy emotional rollercoaster and the ending did leave many unanswered questions about what is going to happen next in this story. This is a fantastic debut novel from Kaydence Snow and one that I would recommend to friends.
