Ok but what in the holy hell did I just read. I've never felt this satisfied since I finished the Gods and Monsters series by Amber Nicole.

And that twist at the end.... can't say I saw that coming. I made so many theories with the info I thought I had that what I just read was unfathomable to me. I'm obsessed and I need more but I fear I need break for my mental health. 

I literally don't know what else to say other than some of my favourite quotes from the book.

"Your body is just the packaging that gives the other half of my soul a home. I have failed as your mate if you do not already know that"

“I didn’t just fuck a Faerie,” I said, shrugging my shoulders. "I fucked a God. Remember that, the next time you think to trick yourself into believing that it was any kind of life, lying in bed with your legs spread for the flaccid flesh of the husband they chose for you." - GAG HER MAMA

“I have felt your desperation coming through the bond all day, Little One. If my death is what brings you peace, then I will pay that price.” - MY HEARTTTTTT

“If you are able to imagine your life, your future, without me in this world, then why would I want to live?"  -STOPPPPPPP THAT SOUND YOU HEAR IS THW SOUND OF MY HEART BREAKING

"Do try to remember that only one death separates you from taking orders from me.” - motherrrrr

Estrella was mothering this entire book. She was everything and moreeee. Literally gave me Dianna Martinez vibes and I'm here for it. She was gagging butches left, right and center.

Overall- ★★★★★
