Not my fav but I did like them! 

Okay so I was really looking forward to Kimmy and Xan’s story, but honestly this book fell kinda flat for me. I don’t know I didn’t quite feel their chemistry as passionately as I felt Aiden and Elsa’s and I think that’s why I felt it didn’t measure up to the previous installments.

3.5

il primo 70% mi è piaciuto molto. mi sono rivista nella storia di kim. Xan è il mio horseman preferito. 
ma poi tutto quel macello... tu sei sua figlia, ma lui è mio figlio. peggio di beautiful... cringe. 
e poi molte delle conversazioni così cringe,sembrano bimbi dell'asilo; anche quelli che dovrebbero i più freddi e Machiavellici hanno delle convenzioni così banali.

5.0

This book took a lot of emotional twists and turns. Both main characters, Xander and Kimberly, are beautifully broken. Friends to enemies and eventually to lovers. I found myself crying, laughing and with my jaw on the floor throughout this book. Completely and utterly obsessed with the characters and  series. 

Note: Highly recommend checking all triggers before reading. There is a lot of emotional trauma, self harm and bullying.
