I disagree that you need to read the books before this in the series - I didn’t know it was a series until the end, & had no trouble following the plot and other details.

🖤 For over 75% of the book, I was an emotional wreck, thanks to Penelope Douglas. Tears flowed, frustrations rose – I wanted to both hug Will tightly and shake some sense into Emory!
🎠 Emory's transformation was admirable, but did she have to shatter Will into a million pieces? I understood her struggles, but oh, the agony of watching Will's heart break over and over again!
🖤 Will's yearning for Emory's love was gut-wrenching, his desperation palpable. Yet, his grip on her was so tight, he didn't realize he was pushing her away until it was too late.
🎠 This rollercoaster of a story leaves you torn between alliances, questioning who's right and who's wrong. With twists that keep you on the edge, I couldn't bear to put the book down, yet dreaded reaching the end.
🖤 And let's talk about the steamy scenes – Will brought the heat like no other! Each encounter adding depth to the plot, enhancing the allure of their connection.

I love Will so much, he is the one guy you really just can’t help but to love and his dynamic with Emory threw me for a loop even though it’s stated throughout the series how he felt.
She annoying me a lot throughout the series but in a very understandable way. In the “just swallow your fear and pride girl and open yourself way. Because Will deserved the world and was so sweet to get always.
This was a very good wrap up to the series and it definitely hints that there may be more to come in this world!
Overall this was my second favorite book but it was very close behind Killswitch. Ugh Pen just has a way of getting me to be obsessed with any story she wants to tell. This has become one of my favorite series of all time, across all genres.
