I’m in love. I already know this is going to be one of my favorite series! I cannot wait to see where this world takes me, although I’m so scared for these characters I know the next book is going to RUIN ME.

And Wilder. Hawthorne. THIS MAN. I have no words. I need him biblically. Although…. You’re hiding something sir and I have a feeling it’s going to really cause some shit between him and Thea and leave me REELING. I cannot WAIT.
