4.02 AVERAGE


I do love West and Southside, but......

Not sure if it’s a reading slump or what but this final book just didn’t hold any excitement for me. Knowing Blue was going to have to “break West,” I really expected something juicy to go down, but it was just meh.... Same with the ending. It tied up most loose ends and there was some sweetness to it, but not that sucker punch ending I love where the tension builds and then you can breathe again. Overall, this one was a little repetitive with the content and didn’t have much drama. We do get to see the sweet side to both characters, which was nice. BUT, who TF is Pandora?!?! We still didn’t get an answer......

I can’t believe is over!!

I’ve experienced the entire spectrum of emotions with this book and I’ve loved every minute of it! I’ll miss BJ and West so much.

Thank you Rachel another great book!

Ugh, I have sat on this and read twice before reviewing because I couldn’t decide how I felt right away. I decided a 3.5; I felt like it all ended very abruptly.

I think the reason why we weren’t told who Pandora was is because there will be more books coming for the other characters. That didn’t stop the feeling of disappointment though. Even if we would have gotten a small hint of pandoras identity I would have been happy.

The narration was amazing per usual, and even though this wasn’t my favorite one in the series I would 100% recommend reading it!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request, and have voluntarily left this review.

Be still my Gossip Girl loving heart! Forever is the almost perfect end to West & Blue…I’m still curious about Queen Pandora

I remember reading this book and being annoyed but not enough to stop but I have no recollection of the plot which means it was very very very generic.
I read this and remain if not become increasingly more annoyed

Forever Golden Rachel Jonas and Nikki Thorne


Forever Golden is the third installment in the Dark High School bully romance of the Kings of Cypress Prep series. And trust me when I say it will get your blood pumping and your heart racing. Blue isn't your normal everyday bullied girl, either. When West sets his sights on her, he thinks she's going to be such an easy target. But when he makes a discovery that throws his whole world off its axis, well, his rage spirals and he's out for blood. Too bad nobody told him that Blue can give it just as good as West Golden and she ain't taking no crap. Unfortunately, West found her weakness and he's got no problem exploiting each and every one of them. And Blue has very little problem letting him. They're like gasoline and fire when they're together. Instead of a low warm burn, they blaze hot and the whole world burns around them. In this book, everything you thought you knew gets thrown out the window and there are so many twists you never saw coming. All the while, you have Pandora giving updates as if she has eyes on everyone at all times. I've got theories on who Pandora is, but I'll let you make your own theories there. I'm curious!! I want to keep going and tell you everything there is to know about this book. I could talk about how amazing this book is all day!! I've recapped the first two books but I've got to keep my mouth shut about this one or I might spoil the book. It's definitely worth checking out!! And if you haven't read book one yet, check it out!! You won't be disappointed!! 5 stars and 2 thumbs way way up!!!
