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.

I think this one might be my favourite of the series so far… the pacing felt better, the ups & downs given more room to be really explored.
The relationships within the characters keep growing & the trust is being built with actions, not just words which I appreciate.
I also really like the fmc’s way of going about things & how she thinks. She’s relatable, vulnerable & strong all at the same time.
All the bonds are interesting still & I like that nox has yet to open up, but is slowly showing more respect - even though it’s painful, I also kinda love it. I know the pay off will be worth it.
The ending was absolutely brutal - but I was so glad this book didn’t do the EXACT same formula as the last two, similar in aspects but it felt fresh.
The spice 🥵 wow… no words… I knew these scenes would eventually make it into the series & as someone who doesn’t read multiple partner books I was nervous - but it has been done so well, and felt very empowering.
Because of that ending I’m literally picking up b5 straight away!
