Review from first re-read: I really enjoyed this book. The romance is so good and the smut just tickles a certain part of my brain.

I went into this re-read wondering if it would be different knowing the end and I suppose the answer is obviously yes but I also don't think it is a twist that is hinted at, it just changed the impact of some events.

The end of this series is so well done and authors should take note. 

Rating from first read: 4.75⭐

I bawled reading this final book. The ending was a twist I just didn't see coming at all and it hit me like a freight train. 

I once again appreciated the vivid description and many allusions, but the most recognizable villain just didn't work for me and some characters reactions to their machinations seemed badly explained and executed. 

But for me the intense interior lives of the characters really makes up for it! Rarely do I enjoy really smutty because I get cant get into the plot but I've had a good month!
