I’m literally obsessed.
I want to write a thorough review but in all honestly I exhausted because I stayed up late to finish this and my eyes feel like they have weights tied to the lids.
I love Kat. She’s funny, kind, smart, and powerful. Is she a little childish with her mannerisms? Yes. Although it grew on me as we got to know her and I realized she’s probably just a little insane and gives 0 fucks what people think of her. She is totally badass and selfless which I love.
Griffin is sexy. He’s seems like a classic broody asshole fantasy male lead, but if you’re looking for the man to fall first? To be totally and utterly whipped and obsessed with the female MC? That’s him. To a T. He’s fierce and possessive but in a way I didn’t find toxic.
I lived for the romance between these two. It was the lifeblood of this book for sure. HOWEVER. The other ingredient was pure magic and action! There was never a dull moment. Cat was constantly saving the day or dying. Usually both. But I was never tired of everyone fawning all over her on her death bed, she deserves all the love.
I know this series has so much plot to give in the next three books. Cat has so many secrets, some I can guess and others I probably can’t get! Griffin also has secrets. But his ambition is going to be a driving force. I can’t wait to see them conquer!
I can’t wait to get started on the next book. To see where these characters and the side characters (Beta Team boys in particular) grow! Also… Peire I’m watching you. Sus…
