adventurous challenging dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

Just found out there is going to be 2 more books, I don’t want to wait to see how this ends😭.

at least Isbitch is dead, and the 3-some happened, although I was anticipating more from it, slightly disappointed

5.0

I started the first 5 chapters and decided to wait until the weekend to read, and when I did, I devoured the rest of the book in approximately 24 hours. I could NOT put it down. This is one that hooks with with unbearable angst from the beginning and doesn't let go until the end; however, after

Casteel is rescued, things definitely get more lighthearted and funny in ways similar to the previous books.</spoiler)

Also, I won't lie, I was apprehensive about the Joining, but it was done SO WELL, and dear lord, I love the love between the three of them and the way Cas and Kieran both worship Poppy.

A phenomenal installment to this series. My heart was racing at the end and I literally had to put my book down every few minutes to take a deep breath. 

I need the next two books STAT.

4.5

I literally have no idea why people are giving this book such low ratings. It was such a good FBAA novel and it makes sense with all the characters storylines and character progression. 
Personally I would have loved more action rather than the assorted talking and re-explanations that I felt took up a lot of the chapters when we as readers already knew what was going on. 
Can't wait for the next one though :)
