Love is not a srong enough word!
I have read all of Crystal Ash's books. All. Of. Them. And I have to be honest and say this series is my favorite. I love all of it - from the storyline to the characters to the MC aspect. The characters though - they are what reel me in every time. I honestly like all of them and am invested in each character. I love Shadow and how strong he is in his own way despite the hurt, the brokenness. He tries and in this book we see him move forward in some ways. I'm enjoying seeing his development. I love Gunner. The sweet guy who Mari needs in her life and who can't seem to get out of his own way. A better person despite his past who I know Mari won't be able to live without. I love Jandro. The funny, charismatic flirt who has grown as a person and sees Mari for who she is and not just a plaything. How he cares for Shadow, the difficult friend, and everyone else but finally shows his true self in this book. I love Reaper. The president we all can't live without. The extremely emotional man who has 2 sides of himself, the public and the private. I love seeing his private side, how much he adores Mari and how much he needs her in his life. And I love Mari. The strong woman who backs down for no one when someone needs her. Who is what all of these men need but refuses to lose herself to them. I can't express how much I feel when she tries to help Shadow, when she stands up for herself and refuses to apologize, for her open mind and her need to help at any cost. I admire her character greatly and I adore the men she surrounds herself with.
Also, there's the added element of the pets, all named after gods of differing patheons that reflect each character. At least so far. So yes I loved this book. I enjoyed how the story progressed and I will with a 100% certainty be reading the next one!

I am devouring these books so damn fast. I have so much work to do but it’s hard putting them down. I think this is becoming my favorite MC series.

Still going strong
I really like this series. That's all I really have to say at this point but there is a word minimum so the rest of this review is just padding.

I enjoyed this one overall but I didn't feel the burning desire to read it as much as the first too. Continuing on though.
Mari & Reaper's romance is really sweet in his one but it almost seems too perfect in this book. Their relationship at this stage has like zero flaws, which is a bit hard to believe with how they were before. It just got a bit boring watching the perfect. Lots of good steam and heat though. I was glad when Jandro came in to the picture more.
This book the paranormal starts ramping up just a little bit. Before this book though it was hard to even say there was anything strange happening.
