”I’d been born to rule. And I was going to claim my place in blood.”

I’m going to keep this one short and sweet because I just finished ”Cursed Fates” and am not okay at all…

I LOVED getting to see the Darcy + Tory bond a bit with the Heirs in this novel — it was a refreshing change in dynamic.

I also enjoyed seeing Xavier + Darius bond with their mother more in this novel as well!

The rest of the novel was painful though…I having nothing else to say about that (I am currently trying to wipe everything bad that happened from my memory).

ੈ✩‧₊˚

P.S. BlueLance better reunite in the next book. ♡

This series is starting to really piss me off. It's still amazing but nothing good happens ever and it's getting so hard to read. Can there just be some happiness...please. 

I need to take a break and read a standalone or something because I'm too invested in these characters. 

After taking a break by reading a couple standalones to mend my broken heart, I confirm I'm still obsessed and in love with this series, I just hate reading about the characters I adore being in so much pain 😭

adventurous dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced

4.75

The excitement and tension all through the book kills me. My favorite one of the series BY FAR.

Loved the evolution between the Heirs and the twins, enemies to allies is always great. But even greater is enemies to lovers. Im obviously taking about Tory and Darius. Even though Tory denied their connection when they had their Divine moment they decided to defy the stars, and I’m obsessed with it. Hopefully they achieve it, even with Orions help. Who, btw, annoys the hell out of me. I understand he wanted to protect Darcy after they were caught but he took it too far. I feel bad for Darcy, she is finally happy after years of feeling worthless and now she lost the love of her life (who she believed to be her Elysian Mate), her sister and the world seems to he crumbling down.

 When it all comes down, CANT wait to get to the next book :)
