Even though I loved the polyamorous element, this wasn’t my favorite of the series. The writing was a bit clunky at times and there were points where it felt rushed. That said, Sia was a fabulous protagonist. It was great to finally have a FMC who had sass and a backbone. Hush and Cowboy were pretty dreamy and Hush’s backstory was absolutely devastating. I do wish we got more of Cowboy’s POV, but I can understand how Sia and Hush’s storylines really drove the plot.
Overall though, I really enjoyed this edition. I’m building up to the 8th book that was so controversial… after this one (where the KKK is one of the main antagonists and is written as the deplorable organization it is) it’s hard to imagine how Tillie Cole could have romanticized the KKK, but we’ll see.

One of my favorite books from this series. <spoilers> I was so excited to see Sia/Hush/Cowboy all together, like I was hoping for. Only thing I didn’t like was how short it was compared to the previous books haha
