I am so excited to read more by Emily Mcintire! This book was such a wild (and fun) ride! The twists and turns kept me guessing about what would happen next; and even with all the suspense keeping me on the edge of my seat, Emily always seems to deliver on the most satisfying endings. If you haven't read anything by her yet, you're missing out! 

Perfect for fans of Criminal Minds, Law & Order, maybe a sprinkle of Scandal/How to Get Away with Murder ✨

I loved this so much more than the previous two entries in the series. Eveline was such a charismatic lead and oh man Nicholas was just *chef's kiss*. Bonus points for some of the most unhinged smut i've read in a hot minute. Super dark and high-key fucked up, but dark romance girlies will vibe on it.

I almost didn't read this book because the second book was so bad that I thought I was done with this series. Well, I'm happy I decided to give it a chance.

This time, and for a change of pace, the villain if a woman. I don't know, this probably is not right, but I'm not mad about the things she has done. Girl power, you know? Girls defend girls! Of course you can dissolve your family members in acid... who doesn't? Yes, she is completely crazy, but I like her.

Anyway, good story, good plot, well written characters with good, solid, backgrounds and the ending that these characters deserved. Nicely done!
