My main thought at the halfway mark was GET TO THE FUCKING POINT!!!

I did like this, but I think I could have loved it if there were 100 less pages. It seemed to drag on for forever in some parts. I would skip ahead just to make sure something eventful would be happening soon.

The stalker reveal was underwhelming. I didn't have the patience to read back and figure out why this person was significant. I don't remember ever meeting him, but oh well.

I'm happy with the epilogue and wish there were little novellas of their continuing lives. In all honesty, though, I'm happy to finally be done with this series.

I loved the way the slow burn was executed. I love stella and christian so much and I loved this book. I love for their dynamic and their character development.

Not my favourite book in the series. It took me some time to get into and I was definitely not a fan of Christian's
brutal side. I guess the explicit scene on what he did to Julian was just too much for me. The fact that he never faced consequences for the shit he does (kidnapping/torturing/killing) is the biggest red flag ever.
Normally I like when the MMC is a little possessive over the FMC, but this was way too much. The way he called her "Mine" from the beginning... Just no.
I loved that we got to see how the other couples relationships developed.

This one was probably my least favorite. Not because it was bad. But I binged the series and I feel a little burnt out. Also Stella more Christian piqued my interest in the other books so I mostly just read this one to round the series out.

Alex/Ava --> Best Plot
Rhys/Bridget --> Best Tension (Fav Boy)
Josh/Jules --> Best Spice/Best Laughs (Fav girl)
Stella/Christian --> Best Mystery
