Let me just start by saying, the last page reveals that there's more to come, and I've never been more excited for new releases in a series. This is by far my favorite series- it is the perfect mix of fantasy, romance, drama, spicy scenes, rivalry, fated mates, magic... I could go on forever.

If you're reading this review you've likely already read books one and two so you know what I'm talking about. Without actually giving any spoilers, a wedding does happen, there are some main character deaths, we meet a different character"s mate, and a different couple FINALLY gets together. It is definitely worth the read to continue!! Although, after the crazy cliffhanger book 2 ended with, I don't know why you'd be reading reviews and not just inhaling the next book to find out what happens.

My single only complaint is the awkward use of the word "sex" to refer to the vagina in sex scenes. I spent a lot of time on book twitter and I don't know a single person who reads romance/erotica that doesn't cringe at that- we'd all prefer the correct names be used because the cringey stuff ruins the moment.
