This series is definitely a guilty pleasure read and this one was no exception. The plot, the romance, and the drama are equally entertaining and the ending was really intense. I think this is one of the only love triangles I can get behind because both Oro and Grim complement Isla really well.

I think this book was longer than it needed to be though. the pacing was inconsistent with some scenes dragging for no reasons and others being a bit rushed.

Very intrigued to see where this goes!

Absolutely will NOT be finishing this series. DNF’d halfway through. Way too many good books out there to complete a book where NOTHING happens. This should have stayed a trilogy and she should have wrapped this up
