Is it bad that I only really care about one of the four pov in the book? I care about Beatrice’s pov and I liked Sam’s pov in the last book (this book not so much) but god I do not care about Nina and Daphne enough for the mess they create.

This may have taken me a while to finish but it was so good! The ending had me on the edge of my seat. Excited that a fourth one is coming soon.

I liked this one a lot!! It posed situations that I didn’t see coming at all and I loved the character development as they solved their different problems. I’m rooting for all the characters to find their happy endings! Kinda annoyed with the ending though, we’ve already done the

people in hospital/sick/dying people thing already with the king and himari

so I hope McGee continues to find ways to keep it interesting.
