Initial thoughts?
*throws tantrum because I’ve realized the next book release hasn’t even been announced and I may die of worry in the meantime*
Arrrrghhhh. Another cliffhanger?! I’m dying inside a little bit.
With every book in this series, I feel all the emotions. Mostly I love spending time with these characters and experiencing this through their eyes and perspectives but each time one book ends, I miss them all and this world so much.
The banter and the humor in this did not disappoint, as usual. Neither did the spice or the romance between Violet and Xaden. I’m also SO happy we got some other POV’s (sad or not) because these other characters are so amazing. They deserve some spotlight too.
To summarize the ending (past WTF), Xaden did a the best thing he knew to do to keep his girl safe, because of course he did, and gave her the keys to the kingdom and selflessly took himself out of the equation. I hope they find their way back to one another in the next one and I hope the wait doesn’t actually kill me.
Spice: 2.5 🌶️
Graphic: Death, Sexual content, and War
