Review of 'The unexpected' on 'Goodreads'

Falling for Yami was totally uncalled for.

Given that Cassie's misplaced priorities nearly always cause catastrophic problems it makes her that much less likable that she never questions them. So annoying. Yami and his uncles choose to fight for you to escape and you feel bad about it so you rush back into the fight....

Selfishness disguised as moralizing, very familiar to a 2021 audience.

Give me a Marco or Rachel plot any day.
