This was such a fun ride and really unexpected. It felt like I was reading a cheesy horror movie in the best possible way. The romance was surprisingly great as well. This was a solid Halloween read.

This wasn't a bad addition to the series, I just didn't connect with it. I love the way Hannah Grace writes romance but Russ and Aurora weren't it for me. I felt bored through most of the book.

A nicer light, fun addition to the series. I wasn't the biggest fan of Katie's character but Harrec has been such a memorable side character throughout the series and I loved getting to see him shine in his own novel. I also liked the way the romance developed this time, getting to see a pleasure-matting first rather than resonance deciding everything.
