I will do anything for Slade, anything and everything. There was some pacing issues as usual, but it didn’t take me out of the story. The plot line with Rissa seems a little forced but I don’t hate it. And I wish that Auren’s final scene would’ve been handled differently but given the same ending, if that makes sense.

*contains spoilers for previous books in the series*
I'm still processing everything that just happened but HOLY SHIT. This was absolutely amazing, from the character growth to the spice to the reality of newness when it comes to Auren and Slade's budding relationship. This book had everything I could've wanted and more and now the worst part is waiting for the next book, Gold, to come out (hopefully next year!). An extra special shout out to Raven Kennedy for writing this series because I honestly don't know who I would be without these books!

The beginning half really is pretty slow, necessarily, but the end is an emotional rollercoaster.
