I liked the ending of this one, I was going to be annoyed if it ended the same as the others. I really thought that this main character was going to be in her mid-late 20s but nope she’s 22 like the other ones. And it’s really annoying me. These horsemen are immortal and really fucking old and the author couldn’t fathom even possibly having them fall in love with someone who’s frontal lobe has developed?????

I liked the characters but the plot was lacking and I feel like the “problem” wasn’t big enough. I mean, Fern Michaels is literally 91 and this was published 3 years ago which is just insane to me. Shout out to her for having parts be set in Buffalo (I’m biased)
