This series is getting crazy in a wonderful way! I immediately started the next one street finishing this one. The romance is everything you want from a dark-brooding type, the main character is so easy to root for and praise. The more you read, the more layers are exposed and mind is blown continuously. The only reason for docking .5 star is the pacing can be a bit slow sometimes to the point I put down the book and don’t pick it back up for a bit. That ending though!

This story is shaping up to be so incredible!!


I'm absolutley dead over this book. Seeing Auren snap hersekf out of the chains she's been confined in her whole life basically and breaking herself out was something I didn't know I needed. I can already tell that this story is going to be so so special to me and I can't even say how many tears I shed while reading this (and I'm not a crier!).

Also, can I just say... Slade the man that you are. I love how he's just honestly down for his woman. And I love the whole wrath, but i feel liek that goes without saying.

I do not know what thr author put in thesr books but I cannot put them down. 

So much happened that I'm a little all over the place and have no idea where to start. 1st ladies, gents, and nonbinaries they finally did it not more flirting and half assed stolen kisses Auren and Slade finally did the dead, multiple times. And it was HOT 🔥🥵. I am not usually one that cares if there is full on smut in a romance book but in this one it was top tier *chefs kiss*. 

Also I just love the banter between Slade and Auren it's giving that perfect enemies to lovers vibe that we all die for. Also the banter between Auren and the wicked as well. She just fits right in with them and I can't wait to see them all together permanently. 

Also fucking finally Midas gets what he deserves. Especially after finding out that he was the Baren that we see in her flash backs to her past. What the fuck made him so intitled. If I could jump into the book I would torture him for all the shit he's done to Auren. It's fucking ridiculous. 

Also I cried when he cut of her ribbons. What the fuck is wrong with him? Did he really expect her not to retaliate at that? Is he that stupid or is under the assumption that she just a stupid girl that will just do what he says because he said it? Men are stupid. 

Also I am so glad we find out who fake Rip was. It's his mother fucking brother. I mean it makes sense given context but still. I hope we see more of him. And is he also Fae and if he is what are his powers? Will we learn the powers of the rest of the wicked? I guess we will find out.

Slade Ravinger, King of Fourth, and rotter of things is quickly becoming one of my new favorite beings. The way he was completely wrecked from Auren admitting that she wants him to him not being afraid of the Gold power taking over her had me swooning. Team Rot all the way!

In this one, the third installment, we see the revealing of the true characters of the monarchs, and to be honest, they’ll give you the ick. Queen Malina gives off major “mean girl” vibes, I was so rooting for her to be the savior, while Midas’ “favour” definitely falls.
The build up to the scene we were all waiting for was everything, (iykyk) but the dirty talk made me cringe. 😬 My only complaint about this book. 
Gleam saw Auren really unleash the full extent of her powers, it was timely, intense & beautiful. She took back her power in the most fitting, & yet horrific way.

I absolutely loved this book. Auren's character development was amazing to see and I am so happy to see where she has ended up. Midas finally got the ending he deserved and I  did begin to wonder if he was truly who he always claimed to be. I need a Slade in my life. 😮‍💨
