I don’t think we needed the whole Leon getting sick bit, it felt forced and like it wasn’t actually plot relevant.
Also thank fuck Danny didn’t end up in some motherhood role, not every woman wants to have children.
At the end of the day, the smut wins Tate points.

It was the epic conclusion we’ve been waiting for. The Guild has been a wild ride with twists, turns, and Tate classic filthy smut.
Overall I really loved this story, but what really killed me was one of the final plot twists towards the end. It was a twist I didn’t see coming and I didn’t want to believe it, but here we are.
It goes to show that every character in this particular series is not 100% good. Every one of them has a dark side, even if I didn’t expect them too.
I loved the growth of the throuple — Danny, Kai, and Leon. Their smut was fantastic, but I enjoyed more of their softer moments together. I would honestly read a whole novella of the three being domestic.
The final chapters came full circle (…pun might be intended 👀). It was a satisfying ending, but I am going to miss these three a lot. I know they’ll make cameos here and there, but i loved getting to know them over the past year.
The Guild and Hades are tied as my favorite series by Tate. But I’m so excited to see what Tate has next in store for the Shadowgrove Universe ♥️
