I started this book feral and ended it hollowed out—scream-crying, rage-tapping notes into my Kindle, and trying to decide which character I wanted to slap first. I hated everyone at least once. And still devoured every goddamn page like it owed me orgasms and emotional reparations.
Let’s get into it. Cecelia is a mess. Like, full-tilt martyrdom, crying-on-the-floor, zero-dignity mess. Her constant begging made me want to chew drywall. Girl, please. Stop throwing yourself at these men like they’re your last meal on death row. It’s not endearing. It’s emotionally exhausting. Pick up your pride off the floor and rejoin us.
Fuck me - Fucking Tobias…. he’s beautiful. He’s broody. He’s cooking in the kitchen and emotionally detonating everything in a ten-mile radius. But the man is manipulative, cold when it counts, and so emotionally constipated I’m shocked he even managed to choke out “I care” without combusting. Every time I wanted to swoon, he’d ruin it. And then I’d want to crawl back into his bed anyway. The chokehold is disgusting.
This book doesn’t have the same smut-to-sanity ratio as Flock, which honestly hurt me. But

Obsessed is an understatement on what this book made me feel. I got my emotions rocked reading this book. I cried at the betrayal, the heart breaking, the lies, but oh the liessss and secrets. Good luck to whoever wants to get their shit rocked. Physically and emotionally from this book. Reminding not only myself but you that it’s just a fictional character

This book absolutely gutted me and I wouldn't have it any other way. The tension, the angst, the emotional damage...they were all next level. The suspense plot with the Ravenhood was more prevalent in this book, which added another level of tension to the book that I loved. This was also the first book in over six months to actually make me cry...twice.
I really enjoyed the hate to love dynamic between Cecilia and Tobias in the beginning. Their back and forth and his frustrated curses in French were highly entertaining. I would have loved for that hate and the tension that came with it to be drawn out for much longer before theystarted hate f*cking and then falling in love before the halfway point, but I think it had to happen that way for the rest of the book to play out as it did. The roller coaster of their relationship had me feeling all the feels and Tobias groveling at the end, just begging for a change to prove himself to her and to give him one last chance was so good.
I do kind wish Dom and Sean wouldn't have been almost completely out of the picture for almost half of this book so that Tobias would have actually had some competition. However, it did have a significant emotional impactwhen they did return and find Cecilia and Tobias together. It was heart wrenching. And everything that came after their return...oof. The other thing I don't quite understand is why Tobias always felt so possessive of Cecilia and that she was always his. Seems farfetched that he felt this way after seeing her that one time in the library as a child, but I still loved this book regardless.
Did I cry? Yes. Twice.

I hate this book as much as I love this book. Beautifully written. The characters so flawed, so messy. The feelings it evoked so strong. It feels like this book broke me a little, and I'm not sure how I'm feeling. But if a book stirs up this much feeling it can't be very bad, right?

I moved straight on to the this from Flock and honestly I contemplated several times setting it down and not finishing. Same old stuff recycled every 40 pages. Ce ilias inner monologue is incredibly repetitive and would grind me. From the first book, you anticipate her character will show so much growth but no tbh she acts like she's grew up but continues to be the same as she did when she was younger. So much repetitive angst and will they won't they, so much "these men have hurt me so much and I'm moving on" but no " oh he looked at me and I knowi love him truly and will do everything for him" back to " he's hurt me too many times and I can't ever accept how they treat me" to Tobias rocking up in the last few pages and her sillinging taking his word as Bible and driving off into the not sunset. Honestly fed up of the back and forward and same boring inner monologue of Cecile. Truly, if you removed the repetive monologue you'd probably only have a a book of about 30 pages long of an actual story line. I had such high hopes for this series but that hope is crashing and burning with this book. I'll read the finish line because I don't like not completing a series, but I'm not confident it will be any better.
Also, never mind the fact it's basically rape between them, displayed as "sexual tension". Not sure anyone else was getting that vibe but it's insane
