Representation: Polyamorous Heroine, Black Hero, Latino Hero, Polynesian side character, Black side character, Gay side character, Achillean side relationship

Safety Rating: Safe

• No cheating
• No OW drama
• Does have OM drama
- the Heroine's mates are pissed that Enoch, + his coven also have marks (although they're different from the mating marks on the guys). Since the Heroine has no idea why they were marked, she can't say 100% that they aren't mating marks, but she knows that she doesn't have feelings for the other coven (i.e., what she feels for her mates - even when they weren't yet mates - is not the same as what she feels for this other coven)
• Does have the Heroes pushing the Heroine away (they're pissed about the other coven getting marked)
• Does have a brief separation

Possible Triggers: Yes

• Murder
- Spoiler about who dies:

The two gay side characters die.

• Confinement
• Attempted murder
• Starvation
• Blood Drinking
• Gore
• Knife & sword violence
• Enslavement
• Kidnapping
• Grief
• Sexual assault

Ending:

Cliffhanger

I'll admit... I can't differentiate the guys anymore. Teo, yes, since he is a shifter, but the others? Nope. Like, none of them. i know this is partly because I had a two month pause between books, but still.
So, I love the story, I love the main character-- how she acts, how she is all about open communication, and UGH LOVE!!
Minus one star though because everyone else kind of runs together...

I couldn't wait for this book, and I'm so happy it didn't disappoint me!!!

The last book ended with a cliffhanger, so I couldn't wait to dive in the pages to see the story of Vinna and her Chosen. It was awesome!

Vinna continues to kick asses, and her Chosen ones increase (but I won't tell you with whom. I don't wanna spoiler it too much for you!). The story mainly takes place in another country as new clues bring them overseas to find the missing parts of the coven. Vinna finds new truths about herself and her family history, that ends again with a cliffhanger.

My nights will be filled with possible outcomes for what's going to happen in the next book. It will be hard waiting until October/November.

I'd recommend this books to anyone who loves a kick ass heroine who is not afraid to fight for herself and the ones she loves, plus who doesn't like a good RH?
