The way I love Matthew Fairchild is UNBELIEVABLE!!
Best part of book was him and Matthew and Cordelia.
Even though there is breadcrumbs it's gold, Matthew watching her perform and slowly falling in love with her outsold every scene she has with James.
Matthewcordelia serve cheating scandal.

Now rant: Cordelia, her entire character arch was based on loving/ acting like fan girl over James.
In the end she is all like he doesn't love me at least be near him...girl what hell!!
I want strong girl lead not this hopefully she grows backbone and be with Matthew.

Herongraystairs scene ilysm.

James I like fine and reading him and Cordelia scenes was like watching paint dry.

Lucie and Jesse are so cute, I really like Anna a lot and Merry Thieves, but Allister can drop dead. One bland sorry doesn't make for all stuff Matthew gone through because of him. I will never like him period.

Overall I can't for next book.

Absolutely loved this book, was quite unsure at first if I’d get the swing of things. But I’ve grown to love the characters and their story’s. I’m a hopeless romantic though so I do enjoy the complicated romantic interests within the characters themselves, and I adore some religious themes that don’t shy away from satanism or abrahamic themes 
11/10

I was scared to pick up this book a bc tid is one of my favorite series of all time and i knew i would be comparing them to one another; and b bc cordelia is half persian and i was scared that cassie might get the culture all wrong like so many other authors. I’m glad to say i was not disappointed she did a fantastic job of presenting my culture. I’m so happy about that. And now about the rest of the book i love all of the characters except grace and charles and i know no matter what cassie might do i will not like these two especially grace.
My only problem with this book is how little magnus apears in them
