I LOVED Naomi in the previous books and just needed her book. I wanted to know what happened between her and Seb, and I wanted to know how these two were even going to make up. But really, I just loved Naomi. She was just such an angsty lady, and I loved her arc in Reina's books. She didn't disappoint. I don't get how this book isn't more popular. I always see the Royal Elite and Legacy of Gods talked about. But these two are wild! It does end in a crazy cliffhanger! But we go back in time and start with how these two even got together, and we end this book with the bet. The bet reminded me so much of After, and I wish it was a bigger deal all throughout the book, but it felt like it was forgotten. It happened a year or two before Reina's book, but the timeline showed that the dare was maybe a month or two before Reina's accident. That was weird. I really wish we had seen their kid in Legacy, and I'm just curious how they will come back after this ending, but these two are flipping crazy, and he likes to chase her.

Honestly was a fever dream but definitely read trigger warnings. There were some good plot twists but if you pay attention you can see them coming. Hella smut tho.
