Well, having finished these three books, I don’t think I can continue the series right now. All of it is so predictable I don’t think I’m in for much. The Reckoning was a joke, the confused feelings of the main six, also a joke, Darius’ father who seemed interesting was a bit of a let down and I’m already bored. The whole story will be what 8 books, but in reality could easily be 3-4. Way too much nonsense and repeats. Just no.

I loved this book and if it weren’t literally skipping over a couple chapters due to too much dialogue that didn’t do anything for the story, I would give this book a 5 star and it almost got one. Note the firs discover their orders in this one and that scene alone deserves a 5 star.

Im hooked, but im so conflicted because I dont find all of their thoughts and actions believable.

for instance it was pretty obvious that Darius was just as shocked about the ritual as the Vegas and his brother was threatened. So why would Tory hold it against him when she literally stopped fighting to save her sister? It just feels like its more to keep the bullying aspect to the book than to actually be true to the characters

I read the prequel before this book and i highly suggest doing that.
