I wanted more of Liliath and Vale! 
I teared up multiple times during this book which is mad for a novella about a couple I knew nothing about going into it but damn they got me... I'd read a full length book about them.

So Isiah is my favourite of the series 😍 

I can only hope we'll get Montys story who will seemingly have something with Reese?

Jade made very little sense to me as a character, her motivations seemed flimsy and her instant connection with Eden seemed to earnest

Loved catching glimpses of the characters we read about in previous books

Just a mixed end to a series I really enjoyed overall. 

Also page count why was it almost 500 pages?!

The love Interests actually spending time together was minimal... I wanted to love this but I just felt nothing for any of the characters which is disappointing.
Especially because I've watched Madison on her romance YouTube channel for years so the hopes were high
