holy shit. this was significantly better than the last book! I had my fears but it definitely proved me wrong. Once again this book falls victim to a action packed beginning and end but a relatively boring middle. I think Poppy is wayyy too overpowered in terms of where we started. I will say though between the end, the joining, the Poppy & Castiel reunion, and Tawney I have a lot of positives too. Which is why the book is rated as high as it is. While this book falls victim to a lot of the pitfalls of the 2nd and 3rd book, it is entertaining as hell and FINALLY answers series long questions (despite how ridiculous some answers are).

I have to admit I went back and forth with this book. There were some moments I really liked and there were others I was very upset about.
I love Cas. I love Kieran. I love Reaver. There are other characters I love but these are probably my favorites. They’re witty and sarcastic and also loveable. I feel like Poppy really grew throughout this book especially.I did find it a little irritating that they were overly confident and kept underestimating Isbeth. Her death was satisfying. Go Poppy. I have to say I am so freaking glad we finally got the joining and it was sexual. The joining was definitely spicy but it was also beautiful and sweet. They give me throuple vibes but it’s sweet how much they care for each other .
I do feel like Armentrout does fall into this cycle of repetition that kind of drags on but I really like the actual storyline so I look past the repetitive jokes that have lost their effect and the repetitive info for the general story that I’m really enjoying.
