oh. my. god??? what the fuck? what. the fuck? what the…fuck!? what!! the!! fuck!!
that last paragraph made my stomach DROP.
there’s no way. nope. sorry. i refuse to believe it. there must be some sort of reasonable explanation. i don’t accept it. i think i might be in shock???
okay so apart from that, once again i loved this book. i’m beginning to sound like a broken record at this point but it just feels like there’s crack in the writing bc it’s so addictive. and i will NEVER complain about a book that has multiple POVs, especially bc i’ve been waiting for so long to get into each of the men’s heads.
something i’ve not really mentioned until this point: the spice. it’s been so good and absolutely worth all the sexual tension between Oli and the guys. but oh my christ, the Oli/Gryphon/North threesome???!!?! shook. i was unprepared. i need 3-5 business days just to process it. and the fact that Gryphon just casually mentioned that Oli fantasises about an orgy between them?? i will never recover if we get that.
anyway, my ranking has changed slightly with this book bc we finally got to see more of North, and both Atlas and Gabe felt very neglected in this one:
1) Gryphon (the way he’s so bold and in love with Oli out in the open? damn)
2) North (the overprotectiveness sends me into a tailspin)
3) Atlas (men that would let the world burn down to make sure you’re okay and happy😩)
4) Gabe (still the love of my life but i’m hoping we get more considering i’m pretty sure he’s on the front of the next book and i just want him to bond with Oli finally)
5) Nox (my poor troubled baby, i just wanna know what’s going on with him😭 and the way he let his bond talk to Oli’s? ugh i know there’s goodness in there)
