Exactly my cup of tea

I loved this ending. Not all stories have a happy ending but this was close. I'm desperate to read about Nix and his future love dynamic. The darkness of this series is refreshing and I couldn't love it more.

Way better than the disappointing second book. A great conclusion to a seriously hot series.

4,5

What an ending!!! You will have a rollercoaster of emotions after reading this trilogy. Every answer we had throughout the series in answered in this book. We get to see all the different sides to everyone. Their bond becomes stronger, and all the walls that have been built get torn down.
Sunshine has to come to terms with many things during this book. Her strength is honestly what keeps all of them together. She doesn't let Gavriel bully and push her or anyone away. She proves to Ryker she is here to stay, and assures Blaise that everything will work out. Callum is the holdout until he truly realizes he needs all of them just as they need him.
The only downfall is Nix... I missed him and am happy he gets his own story..

It makes me a little sad writing this review because I didn't love this as much as I wanted to and as much as I was expecting to.
Right off the bat, I felt a whole different tone compared to the first two books. Of course there is a gloom and doom kind of tension while Gavriel heals from his injuries but there was this weird disconnect with all of the characters both with me and with each other. The chemistry between them all wasn't hitting the right spots which was a huge disappointment because we have been building to that one moment where they all come together and it was just lackluster. I wanted more. More heat, more smut, more dark. Just more.
Something that I noticed was the rushed conclusion. I wish there was no Santobello side plot. I found Sunshine's serial killer father to be WAY more terrifying. It was all anticlimactic.
This series had a lot of promise, and I still recommend it to those who want a new adult, dark, reverse harem romance. I just wish this last book would have been stronger.
