I’ll listen to the last book because it’s easy listening and mostly just keeping me company while I work. But I’ve reached the point where sometimes I get a little unfocused and I don’t even worry I’ve missed something important.

Bro, I knewwwww that bitch was up to no good. The character development in this series has been incredible. I honestly don’t know what the hell to expect in the next book, but I’m excited for the conclusion to this series.
Also, I just wanna say that I still don’t like Nox. I’m not gonna get into it, but I don’t forgive him, not like he really asked for forgiveness anyway… He’s unredeemable for what he did to Oli.

Honestly, I have to dock half a star just for not including a content warning. It is not a spoiler to warn readers of something potentially triggering. It allows people to prepare themselves emotionally to read about that. In this case, it would have been nice to have had that.
Not only to have had a CSA and incest content warning but also just child abuse and neglect warning in general. Not something I was really prepared to read about in this silly little series, to be honest.
I stand by my statement that Nox is my favorite. But I'm really irritated that J Bree didn't give him any actual healing or redemption. He didn't apologize to Oli (or anyone else) and he didn't get to tell her about his trauma himself. That sucks. But I don't think J Bree is a good enough writer to do this. Or maybe she doesn't have the desire to have her characters have real depth in this series. Again, I don't know.
Anyway, I feel like this one dragged on a lot. It felt like it was leading up to something that I just kept waiting for. Maybe the last book will be better? I really don’t know but I kind of doubt it. I'll be finishing it nonetheless.

Oli is still as infuriatingly annoying as ever :).
Rest of the guys are nice I guess, they're the only reason I am still reading these books.
The plotholes are neverending, nothing happens and this should've been a trilogy to keep it fucking moving.

Another cliffhanger but this time tied to a character with no emotional attachment or real prior set up?
If I wasn’t trying to get through my physical TBR I would probably series DNF here.
We got no trigger warnings, no apologies for abhorrent behavior by the damaged one, just immediate forgiveness.. which look. I get it. Maybe some people liked that. But I really didn’t. I’m missing the together moments with Gabe and Atlas and feel like we’re trending down a path of focusing mostly (almost exclusively) on Gryph, North and Nox.
I’m tired of the hearing about their bathrooms and tile.
At one point Oli gets the whole plan, CAN THAT BE SHARED PLEASE? because all we ever see is Gryph and North being in meetings but sharing nothing. Oli has one of the most powerful bonds yet she’s kept in the dark? No wonder her bond overreacts to just about everything. I’d be fucked up too my dude.
Also there’s a whole lot of side questing happening for the last book to be the size that it is. There’s nothing I hate more than plots that look like Swiss cheese. You don’t have to develop extra side characters if they aren’t going anywhere. 🙈
Sigh.
