5.0

I've never been so quickly invested in a book in my entire LIFE. It consumed my thoughts all day every day and I was reading any chance I could get: on my phone while at work in between tasks, walking to my car, while eating, and laying in bed (and losing A LOT of sleep). There was so much hatred and mystery between the full cast of characters and I just wanted to keep going to get any morsel of interaction or answers that I could get. I loved every single second.

Well consider me intrigued. I downloaded the other five books before I even finished Broken Bonds. I guarantee Nox gets a redemption arc, North can get bent but Gabe, Griffin and Atlas are warming up to me. I love Sage, and I want to protect her with all my heart, please don’t kill her!
