This has been the best of them by a long shot… there are def things I do not like I am not at all okay with

what went down between her and Nox to be bonded…that’s not at all how I thought it should’ve been

It made me feel so grossed out and disturbed I almost decided to stop reading the book even though it was actually really good. Another part I hated was the

orgy, like I really could’ve done without reading Oli getting a train ran on her like a gods damn porno. And I felt so grimy after reading it because it had the same disgusting atmosphere as a porno does. 19 yr old Oli being treated like a hole to fvck just didn’t sit right with me at all. The one on ones are fine I guess but the orgies almost ruin the book for me. Maybe everyone likes it but me but it Icked me and I reallyyyy don’t need to ever read that again

but yeah we actually had a plot in this one which I appreciated lmao

i’m so confused rn… i have a lot of questions: why are there so many ppl? why do these characters feel so flat or half assed? wtf is happening? and also why tf is nothing ever happening either?

***sidenote: based on the last couple books the author definitely could’ve portrayed a tortured broody male character without the misogynistic overtones***

Ummm what? Ok, thank god Oli finally bonds with Gabe, the poor boy was being left in the friend zone for way too long. But are we just gonna ignore what happened with Riley and Giovanna?? What about Sage? Also the ending needs to change asap.
