So the fae celebrates Christmas?🤨 

I now understand the heavy criticism of this book series. This book is the best example to prove all of the points. And I'm too annoyed to write a polite review.  But one thing tho, Why the author did the twins so dirty? Even the prostitutes in dark romances have better sense of judgement and a spine but these twins.. Hah!

Chile…. 

I’m over it like I really tried to figure why I’m still reading this series like yes they are a mess and slightly entertaining but these books are truly bad (and problematic). Especially after having read this one in particular I can not keep going I just can not.

I loved this book but not as much as the first three. </ where is this war the nymphs declared in the last book? That hasn’t even been mentioned > things definitely got dark in this one and it really added to the story and there are now so many questions I have since finishing this book which I hope will be answered in the fifth one. The reason why I rated it a 4 star and say it’s my least favorite so far is because I feel like it’s lacking action and there’s a lot that seems to be focused around sex or breaking the Vegas and okay I get the sex part but, I feel like we are past the heirs breaking the Vegas. I know they aren’t exactly friends but this back and forth stuff is just getting old in this book. The writing is good, story is great, kept me on edge, still loved it and am ready for book 5.
