A Crown of Ivy and Glass

I loved the Empirium trilogy by this author, so I was excited to see her come out with a new series. Unfortunately, I absolutely hated this book. It is trash. The only reason I finished it is because it's a review copy.
I don't remember ever disliking a main character as much as I disliked Gemma. I was hoping someone would kill her within the first chapter. I can't say one good thing about her. The narrator made it even worse with the whine in her voice when Gemma was talking.

I was aware there was going to be romance in this, but not trashy smut. This was not written well at all. Even though I loved the Empirium trilogy, this was so bad that I don't think I will ever read anything else from this author.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for an early audio copy.
