This series is getting crazy in a wonderful way! I immediately started the next one street finishing this one. The romance is everything you want from a dark-brooding type, the main character is so easy to root for and praise. The more you read, the more layers are exposed and mind is blown continuously. The only reason for docking .5 star is the pacing can be a bit slow sometimes to the point I put down the book and don’t pick it back up for a bit. That ending though!

3.5

The lit student in me, the critic, would like to rate this 3 or even 2 stars. Nothing happened. Just like in the last book. But the Aurip (?) stan in me won out.

You know, maybe sometimes we don't need a plot. Maybe some healing and some sex is enough.

Gleam might be my favourite book in the series. The banter between Auren and Slade is so fun. I love Auren standing up to Midas, fighting back any way she can.
The absolut heartbreak of her realising just how thoroughly he used and abused her. I hate Midas so fucking much. Auren's death for him was surely painful but it should have been even worse. The scene of Auren loosing her ribbons still tears out my heart and made me sob.
This woman deserves all the happiness she can get and I hate that she still has to suffer through so much more 😞 I really do love this series and the characters in it.
