I can’t stop reading these. I have library books due but I don’t want to
interrupt the series with any other book!

I’m obsessed with this series.
Though there were some slow bits, I found the characters that entertaining that I didn’t find myself bored or wanting to put the book down.
And THAT ENDING? I’m so keen to start book four immediately even though I should be sleeping rn…
Spoiler Im so glad she finally bonded with Atlas, and that threesome, good literature👀

4.5 Void Eye Stars ⭐
Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️/5

These books are becoming too serious, we only had 260 fucks...where are the 466 like Book 1???

This book and its brilliance can be summarised into 3 words... North "FUCKING" Draven!!!!

There is something about a domineering, possessive, rich, gorgeous, overprotective, sophisticated asshole that my brain just turns into mushy peas. EVEN when the man does absolutely nothing extraordinary. JUST OH MY GOD were my insides squealing and squirming every time that man came on page! He could literally say the most unflattering and unsexiest thing alive and I'd still have hearts in my eyes.

So I am not going to repeat my complaints about these books, because I was vocal about them in my previous reviews - and they are still very very present in this instalment . These books are not perfect. There hasn't been some you know, miraculous epiphany (or rewrite of the entire style) to make those horrible annoying things go away. So if you want more details into the shit that annoyed me you can read my reviews from book 1 and book 2.

The main issue I have with this book is the story is starting to feel quite repetitive. It seems to have lost "something" as everything that caused angst, drama or shocks almost seems to have happened in some shape or form in book 1/2 and we are following the same rinse-and-repeat shampoo and conditioner cycle. A LOT of this book could have been skipped or skimmed and you wouldn't miss much...The ending cliffhanger though - that's still a bitch and the worst one yet!

I don't want it to seem like I was super annoyed with the book as there were aspects I loved... North Draven, North Draven, North Draven, North "FUCKING" Draven!!!! BUT we see a little bit more into the bond system and how sentient the "bonds" actually are, especially for some people. There is a little bit more added to the dynamic of bonds and bonded people and there is a lot of character development that happens. Except for Nox...He is still a sexy enigma. The men also now know almost everything that happened with Oli and her motivation for her choices in the past and this does change how some of them act towards her.

I also enjoyed that we do get a couple more POVs added into the story. We have some chapters from the men's point of view, which was a nice touch to be out of Oli's head all the time, and we finally meet the monster bond...

Overall this was still an enjoyable read. I loved this and I inhaled it because it's literary crack...

Also North Draven has also introduced my new favourite trope that I didn't know I needed in my life. Shadow Bondage...now that I have discovered how my brain melts for it...I NEED IT WITH RABID URGENCY! If you know about any books where you know shadows are used as restraints... Hook a girl up cause apparently my brain can't get enough...

Ummm k. Cliff hanger much? Good thing all 6 books are on KU so I don’t have to wait, cause that ending has my head spinning. Are their human shifters? Like people who can look like others in J Bree’s world, cause if not i need answers asap.

i’m upset. first the ending of this book. then my cat made delete my good long review and i don’t want to rewrite it. 
this was my favorite book in the series so far. a little slower on the plot but still amazing none the less a lot happened in the beginning and the end but the middle dragged a bit. the character development was amazing i love oli she’s such a badass and i love her bond she’s sassy and savage. right now my order is north, gryphon, gabe, atlas, nox. 
i’m so hurt by the ending. there really has to be some explanation.
