Ok, yes, love story, amazing as always but the worldbuilding!? So good! I have been dying to know about the grim reapers! Finally learning their history and some of their powers was so exciting!!!
It makes me doubly excited for Henry and Clara's book now!!
Also dom daddy Gareth was fantastic.

Ms. Juliette Cross did not disappoint! I LOVE THIS BOOK. It deserves all the stars!

Though I love this book, I didn't enjoy Livvy's character as much as the other Savioe sisters. Nothing's wrong with her, but I feel like the book was unable to highlight her characteristics as much as the other books did for her sisters. A big part of that is probably because this book focused more on grims and of Gareth Blackwater, which I didn't mind at all, that's why it's still a 5-star read for me.
This book is so beautifully and brilliantly done. I've read a couple of books that feature grims, but never in this way. Their ancestry and power were woven so intricately that as a reader, I am just continuously blown away page by page.
In terms of the love story, it was okay. Somehow, it felt quite insta-love because there weren't much foundation to how they developed their feelings for each other. I love every thought and notion that Gareth has in terms of love and being loved, especially after knowing his childhood, you'd understand why he is the way that he is. And what it all means for him.
Practice Safe Hex is such a good addition to the series. It's different and refreshing because it's a lot darker than the other books, which I think is pretty fitting, especially since we're dealing with a grim.
I love this book and this series! Definitely my favorite paranormal romance series of all time! I can't wait to read the last two books, though I'm less thrilled about Jules' story the most. I'd much prefer to read Clara's book first, but based on the preview I've seen in Practice Safe Hex, Jules' will be next, which means Clara's book will close the entire series.

This romance was fantastic. I loved the build up you saw in previous books, and it was fascinating to learn more about grims.
Unlike the previous books the drama was building throughout. There was great communication between the characters, and it was just a really wholesome romance.

I thought for sure Nico and Violet were gonna be my favorite couple of this series, but there's just something about Livvy and Gareth that I am obsessed with! I love a good enemies to lovers and when both main characters have great chemistry, it makes it even better. These two were scorching hot! I love the introduction of grims in a MC role and learning more about their particular lore since they've been a mystery since book 1. Gareth is a very confident (cocky) man, but I loved that there was so much more to him than that. His childhood being what it was gave him a depth that I wasn't expecting but that made him that much more compelling. Livvy is one of the sisters you get to know the least as the series goes on so I really enjoyed being in her perspective. She's loud, confident and powerful. Their dynamic was amazing! Something I also really loved about this book is the way it expands the world. It opens the door to much more complexity than I was expecting. Cannot wait to continue and finish this series!

I was not particularly excited for Livvy's story, however i actually really enjoyed it.
I asked for more personality on the hero's part and Gareth Blackwater definitely delivered ✨ My favorite male protagonist of the series so far (though I'm still waiting on Ruben). I was very intrigued by grims reapers and the whole secrecy surrounding them and we finally figure it out.
I will, however, give it 4 stars because I would have liked more paranormal stuff and scenarios than just a marketing contest. But I can see the improvement on the paranormal world since book 1.
