I really liked this book. It was nice to see Slade and Auren grow closer and see their relationship evolve. The ending of this book had me gasping, crying, clutching my pearls. It was nice to see more of Slade’s past and more of the world. Auren has been through so much and although she occasionally slips on her journey she is so resilient. The relationship between Slade and Ryatt is also complex and interesting. There are lots of great written characters

and a lot to happen in the impending war.

I’m really interested to see where the series goes from here but I’m invested

 It took me a while to actually read this because I was afraid of it being bad but I ended up loving it. I think some of the character progression felt like it went too fast but I loved all the twits and turns. The next book cant come out fast enough, I need to know what happens next.

Easily the best of the series, but that cliffhanger ending though!! The spice between Auren and Slade peaks in this book. But I knew during that ONE scene it was cause everything was going too well despite having 15% of the book left! Also why Argo?? The poor baby did nothing to deserve such treatment!

I think I should have reread the series before reading this, just to make sure I remembered the tiny details/events.

But another amazing book and great continuation in the Plated Prisoner series.

I loved getting to learn more about Slade and his family. He’s an interesting character and I love and support everything he does. His support of Auren, and letting her heal and grow at her own pace while also still applying pressure was great. 

And Auren, my girl, I will never not love and support her decisions. I just want my girl to be happy. To be safe and loved. While it could be slow at times, I think it was necessary to see her work through her trauma. And she still is working through it. But she has a support system that wants nothing but the best for her.

The ending absolutely destroyed me. Because there are so many questions and I’m so excited to read what happens next.

I just want ALL my babies alive and loved up.

3.5/5 on the spice scale. Slade and Auren are some people who love to love and have sexy time. I love it all.
