So much happens!!! Holy wow! A lot. Its the book before the last one, and you can tell. It sets it up. So good.  One more book in my binge!!!

This is book 7 in The Protector Guild Series. The romance in this book remains a why choose with some of the relationships becoming strong, and others set on breaking your heart some more. The book is spicy like the previous books. The spicy scenes are descriptive, and this book does offer scenes with more than one partner. The book moves at a quick pace as Max moves through her grief, and the consequences of her heart break. The team, and Max are determined to get Atlas out of the guilds hands while remaining safe. They make some unexpected allies along the way. This book has even more action than the previous books, while cementing the plot into place.

Surprisingly this one was better than some of the other interim books in the series, I felt like there was much more plot and substance to this one. Loved seeing more of the hell realm and her interactions with Lucifer, all the different plot twists and developments were interesting and I liked that Max FINALLY decide to accept the feelings she had for all of them even if it took her forever! This one was super sad in places too. I felt like it just flowed better in this book. Looking forward to the finale.
