This series is immaculate. In this one, we see all of the characters developing a lot more and their chemistry becoming more prevalent. I loved deep diving in to these characters povs and finding out more about them and seeing the boys chemistry with Elise.
The plot twists were insane! Miss Nightshade was def shady, pun intended, but I didn’t realize how shady. I don’t trust Titan, idk what it is, but I don’t like him yet. Felix was obvious though, but I think that was the point and I do love that in the end Ryder would not be used by him and told Dante about his “deal”.
So yeah, this series is insane and I cannot wait to begin the next book!

DNF at 22%. Why was the FMC so annoying? I can’t, I just can’t.

DNF at 12%, I can’t do it. I’m sorry but this just already felt like a Throne of Glass/Fourth Wing over descriptive fanfic. I may try again one day, but for now I’m unhauling this one and moving on to something that doesn’t use an entire page to describe one feeling the mc is having.

I’m pretty sure this book is still my favorite of the whole series. Rose grows so much in this one while searching for Dmitri to “save” him. The yearning and heartbreak is so real and raw.
Lyssa and Adrian are also just as amazing and are growing so much as spirit users and I love their magic so much.
The ending and all the revelations regarding Rose’s dad and Dmitri was all mind blowing and I am so excited to dive back in to the next book. ❤️

While this book is still good and a crucial part of Kase’s and Malin’s story, it did suffer from middle book syndrome.
So in the first book, at the end, Kase has his memories “altered”, so in this book he is struggling in a new reality that doesn’t feel right. And that’s fine, that’s cool, I get that, you can’t just give his memories back after all of the stuff they went through quickly. But it took close to 70% of the book for it to finally really get going. Meaning, I was so bored the entire book until then. There wasn’t much action, just a lot of talking and reminiscing and trying to help Kase remember who he is/was.
I still like the book and will never skip it, but this is my least favorite in this series so far. Until that ending!!!! Omfg, I am now so excited for the next book that I ordered it immediately after finishing so I can start it as soon as it gets here.

This is my least favorite book of the entire series. I just feel like the whole traveling back to past lives bit was pointless and they could have all been summarized in to a short novella. The ending was interesting though and sets up the next book nicely.

I did not expect this book to be so good, but omg I am in love. 😍
This book was the perfect smut to plot ratio and on top of that had some light horror aspects and an amazing demon/human love story. I am now obsessed and Leon is my newest book boyfriend and I will be starting the next book immediately!

I was so bored, it was reading like a poorly written fan fiction and I could not stop yawning. I get every book needs world building, but this was a snooze fest.

Repetitive and too long for a silly shifter romance and the FMC is annoying asf
