FINALLY, a great addition to the series! This addition makes me glad I hung on and put up with Ollie. She’s finally maturing and accepting her Bonded without whining and fighting them at every turn.

It’s hard to accept that “she’s young and used to being on her own” … because the men she’s Bonded to are at least a few months if not a few years and way more mature than she is. If she’s been on her own all this time, like we’re supposed to believe, she should be way more show more mature and a lot less whiny. show less

Did I enjoy this book? Very much but I'm starting to think that audiobooks should start with their trigger warnings list...

Did I enjoy this book more by listening to it as an audiobook? ... Honestly, I think so, yes. Kasi Hollowell's voice is so engaging, and the conversational prose works so much better spoken out loud. I don't know if I would have gotten far into this book if I was reading it written down. Seeing additional voice casting for the later books is getting me curious for show more sure... Dual narration perhaps?

Ole's friendship with Sage is so sweet and I love seeing strong female friendships in my stories. You really get the feeling that their bond lives outside of just the scenes shown on the page.

Atlas and Gryphon are definitely my favourites, but then again, it's hard to like the other 3 guys so far. Yet, I want to know everything about them still, their powers, their pasts. There's still so much to uncover and this book barely scratched the surface. Still devoured it in two days anyway... what did she put in this??

This was toxic, it was trashy, and it was so much fun! But I definitely only recommend it to other dark romance readers who like things a bit unhinged. I don't enjoy the tormenting so much... but I'm absolutely going to love the groveling once they figure things out. show less

The rape from Book 1 was never dealt with, at least not in any decent way. Ollie was told by, pretty much everyone, that it wasn’t really rape because “you didn’t say ‘No’ and didn’t fight him off” and she believed that. And Knox’s, who raped her, is a lot older and bigger than her too, which just adds more terrible to it. But, damnit, the books are still engaging and enticing!
