I really enjoyed this one.

There were many twists and reveals that I didn’t see coming. The cliff hanger leaves much to question that I’m assuming will be answered in the future books.

I love Slade. I love the Wrath. Auren is growing on me….like a fungus. Lol

watching Auren come into her power was beautiful. She still made a few mistakes but she has learned to fight for herself and for Slade and it was so refreshing.

The sex scenes were very hot! It switched to more modern language for a second and it was a bit jarring at first but it was well done. There were also some heart wrenching scenes that were well done and had my jaw on the floor. I really liked this one and I’m glad I stuck it out to get to this book.

The pace picks up a bit and there's more plot but considering the page count, it feels like we should be seeing a lot more action. We finally get some smut though!

Thank the lord that Auren is finally seeing the light when it comes to Midas!! I just wish she didn’t have to be used and abused as much before she realized her worth.
