OThis whole series is a great concept and I think the authors were extremely smart because I was HOOKED from book one.

The downsides of this series so far have been how long the books are considering the time span in each of them. A lot happens in a short amount of time and the multiple PoVs — although helpful (to really understand the characters) — sometimes made the story a little confusing, and even unnecessary at times.

Now, this series has some of the best characters/relationship developments I’ve ever read.

I want to shoutout some of my favorites:

Seth Capella — the absolute shocker — to me — because I never thought I would grow to love this wolfie boy as much I do and how I’m rooting so hard for him with Bitey C. He’s such a controversial character — specially after the first books — but the way we finally get to see him for who he really is, it’s a total game changer.

Xavier Acrux — I cannot see Xavier as anything other than a little brother and even tho he wasn’t present in the first books he never failed to make me laugh. He’s the clumsiest, most poor timing baby and I came to care so badly for him.

Geraldine Grus — my girl Gerry and her way of speaking is something that I’ll never get tired of reading and laughing along. My heart almost broke in the end of book 7 because I thought we had lost her but to know that she lives it made me truly happy. She is the kind of character that you think will never grow on you but then clings to you like crazy. I love her craziness and her loyalty and how real and humble she is.

Seth/Caleb — tell me why I absolutely hate miscommunication trope but whenever these two come around I just wanna scream. I absolutely love them and I’m always craving their POVs. Although it pisses me off at time I think it is just right for their characters.

Lance/Darcy — talk about a teacher/student relationship! They are honestly so cute together and we all knew they were meant to be together either way but oh my god, not even after being mates the stars made it easier for them! And my heart always breaks for these two.

Gerry/Max — probably the funniest couple/fling ever! Gerry is already a funny character, and then Max is just so soft heart for her and it makes me so happy every time they are together!

Darius/Tory — the ultimate enemies to lovers! But oh no, they are so toxic together!

Torture, here I come

2023, January 28: I started this book in 2021, December 28, but couldn't finish it because I knew the pain would be too much to bear. And now I come with the intention of finishing the damn book, even though book #9 isn't out yet. It will better be worth it.

2023, February 4: OH MY GOODNESS. What a MONSTROSITY of a book. In a good way, obiously, yeah? *crazy eyes* *too big smile* YEAH?!

Has anyone counted how many times the authors wrote “with the speed of his Order” or some variation of it?

Darius remains the worst character.

I love these books, clearly, they're still five stars for me BUT fuck there's so much filler, just get rid of some of the unnecessary POVs and get on with the actual story. I can't cope with how defeated everyone is all the time, just give them all their HEA and let me move on.

The 80% was so boring, i had to force myself to finish it. But the other 20%? Let's just pretend it was good BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK. Darcy being the bear was so rina kentish plot and why won't lionel die? How was he still alive after the fight with darius and darius just died?
and i kinda feel like they ruined lance's character, he was good when he was a professor but this lance just wasn't lanceing. I HOPE I GET SOME HAPPINESS IN THE NEXT BOOK BCS WHAT THE HECK.
