i loved the lords series and was hopeful for this. I was so excited to see Nick too. I felt like they did him a disservice here. the men just never seemed to find a redeeming quality to them. and they all seemed to hate her. i am hopeful as the story progresses i find some love for the men but in this book i just feel so bad for lavinia that no one loves or cares for her in the slightest :/ she deserves to be loved or at the very least seen
