Wow. This series continues to get better and better. I am obsessed with Gloam and Adam. Adam is so sweet, selfless, empathetic, helpful, kind... he truly is such a great person.

but Adam pulled through. We got the cage off and we broke the spell. I truly had no idea how this would work throughout almost the entire book. And thank god Mary was such an idiot. Also a cannibal cult? Wow. I mean this world keeps surprising me. Oh and then we get to see Ghost and Aury! AND the ending?!? Edin and Hunter are coming to visit! I can't wait to keep reading.

It's so sweet. And I love that Adam gave up everything to help a monster he barely knew just because it was the right thing to do. 3/5 spice levels.
