Is this 4 or 5 stars?? I can't tell, it was so much fun I think it should be five? There were minor niggles, there's a bad guy who is like 5x badder than needed. But I completely adored the characters of the two main characters - they felt real, especially Ledi the heroine. I love the color of her life as a STEM grad student dealing with university politics. This was the first full length book I read by Alyssa Cole and I'm looking forward to reading a lot more of her work - especially the second book in this series which is coming out soon.
