My favorite of the series for sure. I wish more time was spent on the relationship and less on the sex. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for the smut, I just think it would do well to have more balance… Fuoco and Beau were at least the most likable characters so far… really looking forward to Jasper’s story…

Honestly, fuck Triton. Look. I love a morally gray character but NOT when he is being morally gray at the cinnamon roll live interest. Ursan deserved better. So did Ari honestly.

I love the concept of the magic/mythology in these, I just wish they went more into detail on them…

The fact that i read this six months ago and didn’t remember a single part of it says something… i enjoyed it but I guess not much more…

I feel like I just read two separate books. The first half was nearly insufferable. I could have read 500 pages worth of the second half… And the wild part is, there was no transition, they went from hate to “I love you beyond all reason” in like 10 pages (i don’t want to go back and actually look.) 

I honestly would have rated the whole book higher based on my enjoyment of their relationship together and with after they figured themselves out, but I honestly want to rate the whole book 1-star over how Owen told Everest his sister was brain-dead. It was insensitive at best and outright callus at worst… 

I recommend this if you’ve read the other books in the series, and want to know how their story plays out, but definitely pass on it if not.

This wasn’t bad but it wasn’t memorable. Plus the texting bits were really hard for me. I have a lot of stupid personal trauma about texting and dating. Normal people need real, genuine trigger warnings and my dumb ass needs a TW for extended texting and miscommunication…

I love an unhinged romcom with a quirky cast of characters more  than your average person but they were just *too much* in this. 

Instead of complementing the story, they detracted from it for me… I want to read Jude and Toni’s story but I’m just not sire I can deal with more Gem (even though I love him) and Tad (honestly, don’t know that I love her at all.)
