I really loved how they showed the different faces of grief in this book. It was raw and ugly and real and really well done. Lots was happening in this book but I loved it and there were definitely high stakes. I really need Seth and Caleb to freaking communicate. Tory has come such a long way but I want to see just a little more from her

she should not be mad at Darcy bc she would’ve done the same thing and she’s mostly upset bc she was drowning in grief

. The twins are absolute badasses and powerhouses. Oh and i still love Lance Orion
