That being said, I think this story holds up, on its own. The relationship is dynamic, and sexy, and the trials that come up although dark (check trigger warnings), and laced with magic, feel very real.
Also, I love the way the family is growing, and seeing everyone's dynamic together, is such a plus.

The change from hate but in lust to in love happened very quickly between them and I do feel like Gareth got over his issues extremely quickly and Livvy was very, very unstanding and forgiving, almost a bit too much. However, I did like them together generally and I liked how obsessed with each other they were.
I enjoyed the small focus of the plot surrounding them of the competition they were in. It's a very character focused story rather than plot, it focused on the people, how they interlink and interact but I enjoyed this. It showed the bad side to some supernaturals in the community and how their power can be used to harm.
It was a good installment in the series and gave us more insight into all the characters lives, who they are and their world.

The narrator for the male POV in the audiobooks (Aiden Snow) knocked it out the park yet again. Although it was quite strange to lust after a character named Gareth of all things, you manage it quickly with all the shadow play, binding, mind links & BDSM.
I did think it was a strange choice to leave Jules/Ruben & Clara/Henry’s books to last as they are the most intriguing potential couples but this little diversion into Livvy’s world did end up being a welcome distraction.
That shaving scene was a nope from me tho 😬👎🏻

1. as foreplay the mmc shaves the fmc's v*g*n*, which was alarming at first ngl.
2. "orbs" is used as a synonym for eyes, and I've read too much fanfiction to be okay with that. it made sense in the context but I still did not like it.
3. I did like this book, there was some repetition plot wise, and it was waaaaaaayyy darker than the others.
