"You don’t have to be cruel to be strong. You don’t have to be mean to seem brave. You don’t have to look down on others in order to stand tall. Having emotions does not mean you’re weak. It means you’re smart enough to let yourself feel."

What. The. Heck. Just. Happened. 

I am utterly speechless at the conclusion of this book. So much has happened in the last 100 pages and I don't know how to feel. 

This is the longest one so far in the series, and there was a few parts that I struggled to get through and I really had to push myself to keep reading through the slow bits, but that conclusion made the book for me. I am glad that there is more spice now, and that we get to see more of our lovely couple together and happy for a change. Until everything starts to go to sh*t. I literally cannot wait to finish this series, and I'm so glad that I decided to start it a few months before the last book is released. (07/2024)

If I hear Slade call Auren “baby” one more time, I’m going to barf

This book was wild! A lot happened and it was fun to spend more time with the characters, build the world, and get more back story. 

The drama was pretty hot and the spice was on fire. Probably 5/5 on the 🌶️ scale. 

I will say, the 🌶️ between Slade and Auren really icked me. Things that Midas said in previous books were basically being said all over again by Slade and it felt so odd and wrong. I’m not sure I actually like their relationship. I like when they hang out but their 🌶️ seems a bit forced and possessive

I actually wish we got a bit more Osrik and Rissa, but I’m sure that will be explored more in the next book

The ending was HOT drama and I’m super looking forward to Gold

The audiobook is painful to listen to due to the female narrator. There are so many mispronunciations, I feel my teeth are permanently damaged from clenching my jaw. The male narrator is fine. 
The book is consistent with the previous books in terms of quality- just pick up a physical copy or ebook.
