“she's a burst of light in my dark, erupting life in the rotting depths

of my soul. she is everything i don't deserve. but i'm going to keep her anyway.”

the feminine rage in this book was so beautifully written. i feel for auren and i hope she gets what she deserves when all is said and done, because this girl deserve the whole world. i could not put this down once i picked it up again (other reads got in the way, i fear) and there were so many twists and turns near the end that had my jaw dropping like crazy. i think i was sweating and having heart palpitations for the last third of the book lol. this was so. freaking. good.

This story is shaping up to be so incredible!!

I'm absolutley dead over this book. Seeing Auren snap hersekf out of the chains she's been confined in her whole life basically and breaking herself out was something I didn't know I needed. I can already tell that this story is going to be so so special to me and I can't even say how many tears I shed while reading this (and I'm not a crier!).

Also, can I just say... Slade the man that you are. I love how he's just honestly down for his woman. And I love the whole wrath, but i feel liek that goes without saying.

I do not know what thr author put in thesr books but I cannot put them down.

So much happened that I'm a little all over the place and have no idea where to start. 1st ladies, gents, and nonbinaries they finally did it not more flirting and half assed stolen kisses Auren and Slade finally did the dead, multiple times. And it was HOT 🔥🥵. I am not usually one that cares if there is full on smut in a romance book but in this one it was top tier *chefs kiss*.

Also I just love the banter between Slade and Auren it's giving that perfect enemies to lovers vibe that we all die for. Also the banter between Auren and the wicked as well. She just fits right in with them and I can't wait to see them all together permanently.

Also fucking finally Midas gets what he deserves. Especially after finding out that he was the Baren that we see in her flash backs to her past. What the fuck made him so intitled. If I could jump into the book I would torture him for all the shit he's done to Auren. It's fucking ridiculous.

Also I cried when he cut of her ribbons. What the fuck is wrong with him? Did he really expect her not to retaliate at that? Is he that stupid or is under the assumption that she just a stupid girl that will just do what he says because he said it? Men are stupid.

Also I am so glad we find out who fake Rip was. It's his mother fucking brother. I mean it makes sense given context but still. I hope we see more of him. And is he also Fae and if he is what are his powers? Will we learn the powers of the rest of the wicked? I guess we will find out.
