I had to skip most of the sex scenes. I love a good forbidden romance, but this was too much, like terrifyingly too much.

I started the first book of the series but couldn’t bring myself to read more than the first two chapters. But everyone kept raging about this book so I read it and I was not disappointed. This book was so good. Liked the storyline liked the characters. 

Zeus and lous relationship was cute and hot and just everything. The age gap sometimes made me a little uncomfortable because he said that he knew she was hers since she was seven so I thought oookay but it’s a book it’s fiction so yeah.
But I was not ready for the fucking heartbreak. Since the first Moment Mute was my absolute favourite and I was so excited for his book and then he fucking died.. what the fuck ? Not okay. Literally threw my book across the room.

Reread and ready to review. I gave this 4.5 stars mainly because Lou is in highschool. I mean ok, you write a 19 years age-gap romance but why make her in highschool? First year of college and I would’ve been fine.

Other than that, Daddy Z is my top ranking man out of The Fallen because he is just perfect in every way. The maturity that comes only with age and experience led him to understand where Lou was coming from in the decisions she made and how she processed stuff, also giving her a safe space to discover herself and integrate into the new family.

The plot was consistent and enticing you to read more and more, as well as wait on the edge of your seat for the next book and the cameos from King and Queenie were like an oil for my biker heart.
