Alright now that

Arch has finally admitted his feelings and his wrong doings

 the series has moved on and I’m here for it. I appreciate not forcing MK to be mad at Steele & Kody for longer than necessary, I can’t stand it when characters stay mad for longer than is realistic.

Again, I loved this! I don’t have a lot to say so here are some quotes:

„No matter what else was going on, no matter how much unresolved bullshit there was between us, he was still there for me“

„I know that I fucked up, and I know that I hurt you, but I can't change the past. All I can do is change the choices I make in the future and hope that maybe one day it'll be enough to earn forgiveness“ 

„I push people away because being close to me means painting a target on your back.“

„You're my whole world, Kate. […] You’re my reason for breathing, and I'll personally slit the throats of anyone who tries to take you away from me.“

Soo..no matter the character development of Archer I still don’t forgive him manhandling and disrespecting MK. Yes, I do love him now but he still isn’t forgiven for all of that unnecessary behavior (sorry not sorry).

After that horrifying cliffhanger I can’t think about more to say about this book except for it being just as good as the first ones so I’m gonna run for the next book in hopes of some much needed clarification!
