POVs for the guys too!? Hell yes! I’m so iffy on this book. There are things (Gryphon) that I don’t like, things I hate (Nox Draven is the fucking worst) but I love Atlas and Gabe. Oli is pushing the annoying “not like other girls” FMC stereotype type hard this book but honestly at this point in the series I am not surprised. I just wish this wasn’t that type of book. I only got redemption for Atlas so I’m expecting Gabe to be through the roof!
SpoilerCan we talk about Gryphon always saying North is possessive and a jerk but honestly is his vulgarity mixed with his obsessive possessiveness that’s the only problem here. Besides Nox needing to disappear off the face of the earth.

i’m upset. first the ending of this book. then my cat made delete my good long review and i don’t want to rewrite it. 
this was my favorite book in the series so far. a little slower on the plot but still amazing none the less a lot happened in the beginning and the end but the middle dragged a bit. the character development was amazing i love oli she’s such a badass and i love her bond she’s sassy and savage. right now my order is north, gryphon, gabe, atlas, nox. 
i’m so hurt by the ending. there really has to be some explanation.

phew. definitely so much better than the second book. it’s not the best, but there’s improvement. the plot is actually progressing for starters. relationships were mended and oli is getting stronger.

my only issue (by issue, i mean it’s me, not them kind of issue) is that this author takes understandably long time to release books in the series—the gap of release between books are long. my brain simply isn’t good enough to recall things quickly. it always takes me a minute to remember all the characters. and sometimes i switch up between the bonds too. pain.

so just in case i forget again in time for the next book, let me make a list:

bond groups
  • north, nox—oli (central)—gryphon, atlas, gabe

  • felix, kieran—sage (central)—riley, unnamed draven graduate

  • sawyer—grey

nightmares
  • brutus — nox’s
  • august — north’s (has a dobberman form)
