Dnf’d at 94%. It’s been 2 and a half years since I read it. So I don’t remember why I dnf’d it. But the fact I dnf’d at 94% and didn’t finish it, tells me I didn’t care enough about the plot to finish a measly 6%.

I see people marking this as RH, so I held out hope, but I got 40% of the way through and still only saw one guy (Creek) who could be a love interest. All the other guys are family.

Maybe if I had known it was slow-burn going into it, I would've been prepared to hang in there, but I got distracted by another couple books and now I don't really feel like coming back to this one.

DNF at 31% when the FMC Remy was going through the ritual to fully unlock her memories and powers.

I've realized after this book that I am not the biggest fan of reincarnation plots. They don't make much sense to me, especially when whole families and partners are supposed to be reincarnated together repeatedly. Remy was said to be on her 12th reincarnation, while her elder brother was only on his 6th. The book explained that not all the siblings were necessarily reborn together, and sometimes they were only children, which was fine.. but what about the parents? Did they not have grandparents? How far did this generational logic go?

Additionally, the whole "reveal your true history and species only after you turn 21" because you could permanently die from the "the sheer intensity of the power" of memories was an irritating arbitrary restriction to me. It was silly that learning the truth about the past could be fatal - they're just memories? For all they know it could also just be fantasy? Why not just not believe it?

After reading a few other critical reviews of the book with jumpy flashbacks and bad smut scenes, I decided this book wasn't for me and couldn't finish it. As is, there was definitely a need for a good editor - the dialogue flow and punctuation sometimes made reading scenes confusing.

I couldn’t stop listening to this and devoured it all in one sitting. The characters are amazing especially Remy who has a lot to deal with in the weeks after her 21st birthday . Sarah Puckett narrates perfectly as usual and I can’t wait for book 2 on audio.
