i heard a lot of bad things about this book, but honestly it wasn’t bad. the main thing i was very icky about going in was that i knew he f*cked her mother, but the was people talked about this wasn’t as though he was literally groomed. but like, it literally says in the book that they met when he was like 9-12 i don’t remember, and the author literally states that she groomed him. i literally thought that he was f*cking her mom while they were together and shit, and it kinda makes me a little mad the way people in reviews were making it seem like he was cheating on elena, and that he did something wrong. like, he was literally a child, doesn’t it literally say their relationship ENDED when he was 19, i honestly pity him. anyways, the writing was as good as the other series that is interconnected to it and i enjoyed the story, and i can’t wait for the next book in the series. though i am a little disappointed at the lack of some of the plot, and i was a little confused at some parts of the story but it all came together at the end. most of the story was elena and kallums relationship, which i’m fine with, but i was hoping for a little more.
