what am i reading?? lmao more than half of this book takes place within a week… 

this is the 3rd book and they’ve been at zodiac academy for like a couple months, (as ive said in other reviews all the action happens at the end) why are we getting detailed chapters of each day of them at school. 

it’s too much.

It’s been a while since I’ve tried to read a bully romance type book and I forgot all the reasons I hate them. If you’re a fan of bully romance this is probably a book for you, but I can’t stomach all the backstabbing and betrayal. All that said the story line of the twins developing their powers and learning about the death realm is captivating and remarkably well written. The world building is what shines in this book and series and is why I will keep reading. 

This book isn’t a romance, it has romantic elements but there is no happy ending or central relationships.

oh my GOD I am so obsessed with this series right now. Firstly, can we talk about some of my fav side characters, Geraldine and Tyler? I love how Geraldine has gone from kinda weird creepy obsessed nerd fan to actual friend who kicks some ass, and Tyler ALWAYS cracks me up, I have such a soft spot for him now. As far as the romance with the Heirs, I don't know who I want Tory with more, Caleb or Darius. I love them both lol is this going to be a polyamorous ending cause I wouldn't be mad. And Darcy and Orion... UNF. Ok, I've always had bad vibes about Diego for some reason... like are we gonna find out he's lowkey been working with the Nymphs? That's how I've felt since book one. One of the girls always ends up getting drunker than they expected when hanging out with him, a major red flag. Also... beanie issues. And finally, we get some MAJOR spice !!
This ends on SUCH a crazy turn, I'm rushing off for the next book!
