This Novella made me fall in love 
... with everything!

This was a Novella, but it explained everything! It filled in the gaps from book 1 ... of course, still leaving a mystery somewhere.

I thought that book 1 was it, but this surpassed what I was expecting.

To now have this piece of information, I am cuious on how it will play out in book 2 🤯

I listened to the audio while following along in my physical copy ...

I actually enjoyed this more than I thought ... even though there were some instances that I wish the book was over.

This was a great foundation to understanding what is going on with each of the characters and how they play a role in the 'big picture'.

I am currently working on the Novella and have to say this is the reason for the rating that it got ... besides Mark Travena being such a mysterious character that I need to learn more lol

Did not finish book. Stopped at 42%.
The concept was understood, but I just could have done away with the 90% of sexual activities. 🙌🏽

Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.
It was a great start, but then it just started going down ...

The FMC was written as a badass, but then she was downgraded and written as a scared mouse. Stop it!

I was getting tired of her sneaking around and being scared of her 'poor status' being found out 😒

I wish I would have dnf'd ... BUT I wanted to use it for a challenge prompt.

I understood the concept, but it just did not do it, at ALL, for me!

The characters were flat [one dimensional], it was repetitive, it was predictable, it was slow ...

I feel like if it were shorter, it would have been a bit higher, only because it would not have dragged on and limited the room for repetitiveness.

That is it ... because 🤦🏾‍♀️

Hudson can take all of these stars 🙌🏽 He literally went hard throughout the book!

One of the many things I could not get behind was how Noelle was written to be a badass, and then she was a Damsel 🤦🏾‍♀️
*can not have it all boo!

I also could not get past the fact that some information was mentioned and not followed through on ...
*like the missing _____! Why even mention it!?

I also could not get behind Noelle's naive behavior when it came to Dylan. Like come on!

Hudson carried this book ... and I was here for it 👏🏽

This was a quick read and a great buffer for all of the fantasy I am currently reading ...

However, I have to be honest that I did not remember all of the details that happened in this.

Probably no fault of the book or author, just the time that I read it.

Would I re-read? Probably not. However, if you love holiday quick reads, you would most likely enjoy this!

I listened to the audio while following along in my physical copy ...

I have to say that this took me a while to finish, but it was definitely not fault at the book or the author.
*it is what happens when you read so much lol

I loved this book because it explained so much and had so many revelations. Revelations that I had no idea were being set up throughout the first 2 books.

It is so challenging not to want to list everything I loved about this book without giving away so much of the plot and setting, and what happens with each character.

By the end of the book, I still loved Rhysand and Feyre 🙌🏽

Another MC was put on a pedestal for real ... because he came in and saved the day!

I loved the action in this book! It seriously was so detailed and felt like i was there.

I am excited to finish this series, only because I want to come back and reread 💀
