Buckle up, buttercup, because this one’s got a SH*T TON of baggage to unpack. Definitely look at the content warnings before reading. It’s definitely the most emotional book of the series so far. I didn’t think we’d get quite the close up on Damon’s past as we did, but it definitely explains why he is the way he is. Having Winter be blind was a choice. I got annoyed pretty quickly at the amount of times her not being able to see was used as a terror tactic. And I was really curious how the two of them were going to have a happy ending, all things considered. Overall, I liked it more than the second book, but not quite as much as the first.

Another 0 stars, another book of three spoiled brats terrorizing yet another innocent girl , at this point the plot is how dumb can these horseshits be 
I was told this book was supposed to redeem Damon and not gonna lie, his backstory was heartbreaking , but how is he better when he himself grew up to SA women ?? His own sister??? But it's okay his defense he didn't know she's his sister when he decided to grope and force kiss her 🙄 that's the stupid excuse the penelope douglas cult give him each time the SA topic is brought up in this series ( heavely ) and he books in general ,because god forbid we criticize an author
