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!

*contains spoilers for previous books in the series*
I'm still processing everything that just happened but HOLY SHIT. This was absolutely amazing, from the character growth to the spice to the reality of newness when it comes to Auren and Slade's budding relationship. This book had everything I could've wanted and more and now the worst part is waiting for the next book, Gold, to come out (hopefully next year!). An extra special shout out to Raven Kennedy for writing this series because I honestly don't know who I would be without these books!

The beginning half really is pretty slow, necessarily, but the end is an emotional rollercoaster.
