I really enjoyed this series! The characters were great, especially, Beau & Coco. The only reason this won’t get more than a 4 for me is that after all of the build up I felt like the ending happened too quickly. Would’ve liked the ending to be more complex.

i may have crashed out over the first & second book but i’d say this one saved the series for me

while there were still many flaws, i fold like a chair for a found family, and found family there was in this book. while some characters def could’ve been fleshed out further, i think it was good for what it was, especially after what i has to read to get to this point 

shelby also became much more poetic when she wrote about ansel, n i may have teared up each time…,,, my shayla……

i didn’t hate it, didn’t love it, it truly is one of the books of all time. 

3.75/5

Love, Love Love Love!!!!!!! Amazing conclusion for the series. There was drama NON-STOP!!! It was faced paced and was so much fun reading. It made my heart sing, kick my feet giggling, laugh, I cried twice and one of them was constant tears rolling down my face. SOBBING. AHHHHHHH it was so good

A perfect romantasy. There are going to be people out there who won't read this because it is marketed as YA. Personally, this isn't YA. It has spice scenes, about as detailed as a romance book (a heartfelt romance, not spicy romance, does that make sense?) Anyway, spice doesn't belong in YA books, but this didn't read as YA, more like new adult. I loved it

I love all the characters and the writing style, the fight scenes are written really well. If I was to pick something I didn't like it would be about the audio. It has a male and female actor and they do different accents for the same character. So in the girls voice the character sounds wise and mysterious, and in the boys voice sounds like an old hillbilly. Only thing that annoyed me

PLEASE READ THIS

I cried twice in this. First was when Ansel came back as the dog to help Lou. I was sobbing. It's always the bittersweet moments that make me cry. I was listening and thinking 'okay, he's helping her and saying he forgives her, I'll stop crying soon...' *Continued to cry for the whole chapter until Ansel left* God I loved him

Second time was in the epilogue FROM ANSEL'S POV!!!!! Awwwwwwww. Cried, was so happy for them and he was there for the wedding. THEY LEFT HIM A CHAIR AND GOT A PICTURE OF HIM SO HE COULD WALK LOU DOWN THE Aisle!!!!!!! My heart. That was such a good epilogue

I really loved this series. I think I will read it again in the future and take my time, savour it. Amazing

FUCK, I AM S O B B I N G.

My sweet, sweet Ansel god I’m so happy it ended with his perspective. I’m so happy Lou and Coco got to see him again. Did it devastate me? Oh absofuckingLUTELY. But he deserved to have a part in the end, and here we are.

Also, that final battle was a NAIL BITER. Absolutely fucking nauseating. I was so scared one of the final four were gonna die, and I couldn’t handle that devastation again. Ansel dying and Reid losing his memory were enough.

AND AHAHA THE KING GOT HIS JUST DESSERTS. What a fucking ass.

MADAME LABELLE. SHE LIVESSSSSSSS. What a relief.

Ugh, this was a delightful end. Stressful, sad, happy, infuriating, nauseating, but once again, happy. Ugh. Brilliant.

I literally couldn’t put this book down, after the cliffhanger in the second book I knew I needed to get this one and it served. It was heartbreaking at so many tim a like the ending was so bittersweet but so cool at the same time. There was an unexpected couple which I now want to see more off maybe a novella or something?! Idkkk overall this was definitely worth the wait.
