I was sold on Alistair right from the get go in this book. (Helllllooooo chapter 2 😈) He was the best part of this entire book! I did find the plot predictable and I didn't care for the ending too much as a result (specifically concerning Lucien), but this was a solid smutty book nonetheless.

Everything is Blue
Y'all, I'm going to be honest. I couldn't get into this one the same way I got into the first three. I loved the book, I just wasn't as into it as I have been the ones in the past.

The Characters
Cora: I enjoyed Cora's character for the most part but there were a lot of times she would get on my nerves when keeping important information from Alistair. I felt like she should have told him

about her brother earlier, but that would have gone with Marshall's plan and it wouldn't have played out well for her, so I'm glad she didn't

. She was a very strong FMC and I felt as though she was well written, even in the times that she annoyed me.

Alistair:I enjoyed Alistair's character probably more than I have an MMC in a while. I adored the obsession he had with Cora. It was something I enjoyed reading about.

Things I Loved
I really loved the way things played out in general with everything.

Things I Didn't Love
There were times I feel it was slow, but I get why.

The Final Verdict
I would recommend this book to others, but probably wouldn't reread it.

WOW. This might be the first Sav. R. Miller that I've truly enjoyed and I think it's everything to do with the MMC. Alistair can get it any day of the week tbh.

But the thing that struck me the most what his obvious and unapologetic desire and attraction to Cora. I love a brooding and slow burn story but it's so refreshing to see a man openly talking about his feelings and making them known, you know?

I also feel like the darkness was balanced in this one. Cora is no damsel in distress and gets toe to toe with Alistair on a daily. She's a badass and adds to the dark element instead of simply accepting it.

The pacing felt a bit slow for the first half of the book but THAT PLOT TWIST at the end made it absolutely worth it. Seriously, mind blown. if
