adventurous emotional mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I wanted to DNF this series. This audiobook was 16 hours long and I didn't think I was going to make it to the end. This is the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th books I've felt this on. Simply put, I didn't enjoy the series. I finished it to say I finished it, giving it a chance. The spice and HEA were a saving grace for me. I'm a sucker for smut and a HEA, but it was a rough road to get there.

Review from first re-read: I really enjoyed this book. The romance is so good and the smut just tickles a certain part of my brain.

I went into this re-read wondering if it would be different knowing the end and I suppose the answer is obviously yes but I also don't think it is a twist that is hinted at, it just changed the impact of some events.

The end of this series is so well done and authors should take note. 

Rating from first read: 4.75⭐
