literally Leon is giving such Seth capella vibes this book. His chapters have been my favorite. I wish we got more of Elise in ZA but I get why we didn’t since this series has her backstory. I feel her mate bond with Gabriel is so weird bc I thought he couldn’t see mates????? Also they just like… fuck and then he’s mean for 2 chapters then is like oooooop nevermind I guess?? Also ryder is so insufferable I haaaaaate him

Truly the worst book I've ever read in my entire life. It's literally just a dumpster fire of misogyny. I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing. If someone offered me a trillion dollars and immorality to read another book from this author...I would spit in their face. Which is what this author did to me with this waste of brain of cells. I wouldn't wish this book on my worst enemy. I would sooner stab myself in the eye than recommend this to anyone.

the .25 is for the brother's POV only
