I loved this one. The best book between both series so far. The development that Sera and Ash make in their relationship but also in themselves is amazing. Jennifer Armentrout does a great job of showing these sweet intimate thoughtful moments in between hot and sexy passionate scenes.

The mix of adventure through exploring more of illeseeum, swoon-worthy romance, and anticipation for how they would develop a plan to defeat Kolis had me unable to put it down.

The betrayal at the end and the revelation of truths was so wild and sets up the next book. I’m excited to see how the series will unfold.

I really like this series of JLAs. I do think it’s kind of repetitive of the FBAA storyline and characters, BUT I think that’s okay because I kind of like this story better. And I think it also helps show the parallel between Sera and Poppy’s stories since they’re ultimately connected and related. 

This story started off slow and I felt like they were having a lot of sex (don’t get me wrong I love shut), but there wasn’t much plot development. It did pick up in the last half and once that happened I had a hard time putting the book down. The ending kind of snuck up on me and I felt left a lot of plot lines and points open that I thought would be resolved but I guess that’s because there’s going to be another book lol so I’ll just wait to find out! Overall it was a good story and plot with a twist at the end I wasn’t expecting, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!
