Comentarios generales: me encantó, creo que podría volverse de mis sagas favoritas, no sentí que fuera nada obvio el main plot, las escenas de pelea no eran confusas y el desarrollo de los personajes es increíble. Yo ya sabía varios plot twists por tiktok y aún así terminé sorprendida jajaja que Chido escribe la autora. De verdad que Casteel le anda dando sus buenos madrazos a Rhys, ya queiro novio jajajaj

Escena fav: la apuñala por mil

Personaje fav: Casteel

Frases fav: Nothing is ever simple. And when it is, it’s rarely ever worth it

It was ok. The plot was interesting but the things in between felt like too much information and filler. Sex scenes weren’t written well. For the first 200 pages you are confused, and for the nest pages you contunde to be confused but now with more information. I really wanted to know Howe the story ends, so o went through all these pages. It’s ok., not my cup of tea. It’s probably one of the better books in the series.

For the most part I enjoyed this new world that Armentrout created, but I've also found some confusion and annoyance like others whose reviews I've read. She confuses me with the era this is supposed to be set in. Some comments made would have never been used in a more medieval time (which is how I picture where the characters should be living) and other words just bug the crap out of me. I could never hear the word "britches" again and be completely fine with that. 

I do enjoy the banter between the characters for the most part. It's enjoyable for me to hear conversation, especially when choosing to do audiobook. And Armentrout has created, in my opinion, a different world of vampires and werewolves in which I'm excited to learn a bit more about within her next novels of this series.
