this series has a chokehold over me & I will absolutely never be over it!!! I was beyond ready for stella and christian’s story, and it did not disappoint 👏🏼

christian is my favorite allusive morally grey character (and in my head he’s ben barnes okay 🥵)! I know he gets a lot of hate for being overprotective and literally willing to unalive people for looking at those he cares about the wrong way … BUT he has a heart of gold and he can do no wrong in my book 

I’m whipped it’s fine

just like my queen stella!! she’s an inspiration, an icon, and she deserves to feel like the legend that she is! dealing with concepts of being an influencer, I loved that ideas such as creating fake content and “asking for it” just because your profile is public were a huge part of the plot. it’s important to treat everyone like a human being!!! 

however, I think my favorite scenes were those with jules, ava, and bridget (and their boyfriends of course) ☺️ AND with dante and vivian! having already read KING OF WRATH, I appreciated how it all tied together but also set up the plot for those who haven’t read it yet!

the suspense wasn’t as intense or shocking as I would have liked, but it certainly kept my intrigue up for 500+ pages 

ana huang has solidified herself as an auto buy author for me, and I need her to write more ASAP!!

A temptation with no escape. 
An obsession with no end. 
An addiction with no cure.
