3.0

I sure read this book. Not bad but I just don't feel the development matched the time they supposed had been spending together. They made it seem like only two years had passed not four because they just didn't seem to know a lot about each other. I just would've liked to see some of those four years ya know? But I did like Rowan which is a big plus cause usually this type of book has a brooding I'm too damaged for her man that I HATE. I have a feeling leather and lark will be like that I do want to know what's going with circus peanuts and fionn over here. Author were you being funny or were you genuinely thinking of a third book there

great slow burn

I enjoyed this book. It was a slow burn from friends to lovers. I don’t like books jump to the main characters being in love with no background relationship at all any time spent together.

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHH
this book was soooooooooooooo unhinged and I was absolutely here for it!

highly recommended for the kinky straight people

With the whole David twist, I imagined being a serial killer in this universe and getting stressed leading up to August in case the Butcher & Blackbird come after me! I love the vision of all the criminals being SO stressed while this lovey-dovey couple is just skipping through a field of flowers, swinging their blades around and leaving a trail of blood and dead bodies behind them.

Also, you could absolutely replace Sloane with Celaena and Rowan with, well, Rowan and this would make perfect sense to me.
