Okay. Nox now has a very special place in my heart. As the daughter of a CSA survivor, my heart broke when his story was shared with Oli, and everything about his character makes sense and its well developed. I feel as though it would have benefitted if only Oli & the Dravens had the “extra” abilities, but I also think the series could have been condensed into 3-4 books.

This is definitely the book where it all has thickened. The plot is gearing up for that final book. The character development and relationships have begun and mostly solidified, its all coming together!

Finallllllly we got Nox’s back story! Ugh 4 books of him being an arse… but man was it worth it! 

I loved the authors plot choices with how she fixed the ending of b4 - it all made sense & the extra connection between Oli & Nox, how they were able to KNOW each other so completely by going through that process was such a smart idea to get them to a good place quickly!

His story is definitely heart breaking & I can see why he is as messed up as he is… also why he needs control in the bedroom - wow that scene was next level!  The shadow play, his total control she also gave her consent was ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

For me the first 100 pages with Oli & Nox was the best part of this book. 

I liked the developments of the other bonds as well & that final battle between them & the resistance with the bond group all working together was PERFECT 🙌🏽

I didn’t see the final twist - I knew there had to be someone higher up who was more powerful… so that’s made me really excited for the final book! 

As always the spice was fantastic, love the difference between Oli & all the bonds & what they do! 

Again I read this book in 2 days & cant wait for the next one… but am also so sad it will be the last!
