 This book DRAGGED and did not need to be this LONG. There were many things that were repetitive and I had to take multiple breaks while reading because I was getting bored.

This is part of a series. So start with addicted to you and work your way up to this book. I recommend reading the Calloway sisters spin off along with the addicted series. I found it easier to know what was going on and references.

The books are about Lily and Lo who both struggle with addiction. Their addiction is a big part of the book and in the first couple it is quite graphic with descriptions of him getting wasted everyday. And she also has addiction which is a common challenge for her throughout the books. If you get triggered by these things I would not advise you read these books.

Think the worst and be ready. When Jonathan Hale arranges a "essential" meeting, Lily and Lo attempt to do it. The issue is that they are unsure of what the worst is now that they have been thrust into the spotlight and are struggling with their addictions.

Ryke and Daisy moving in with them is just one of many shifts that have caused Lily to understand that the best aspect of her shifting hormones may also be the worst. Her sex desire has gotten out of hand. Although Loren is aware of her unquenchable nature, he still has hope for her. Too much of him is in her. Some of the people he loves are starting to have doubts about his determination as he takes on more and more responsibilities.

This has had to be one of the finest series endings I've ever read. I was extremely pleased with how everything was put in its proper place and how the finish tied everyone together. The tempo wasn't very consistent, so sometimes it was slow and other times everything happened at once. I believe that is a component of KBR's writing style, and I don't really like it.

I can't believe I've read the final book of the Addicted series. I won't read about Lily and Lo's first experiences any longer since it makes me feel so nostalgic. It seemed like I was fighting dragons alongside them all the way to hell.
