The ending was action packed and very unexpected. Karen Marie Moning is quickly becoming one of my top 5 Authors. I cannot wait to read everything else she has written!!!

I first read these books in 2017 and I’m currently doing a re-read.
Holy crap there’s so much fucked up shit in this book series and in this book in particular.
Please make sure to heed trigger warnings if you’re planning on reading this w/o knowing anything about it.
That said, I thoroughly enjoyed the plotting of this book and Mac’s character growth. This is probably the stage of her arc I like best. But omfg pls stop saying “s*vage” on every other page, KMM. I beg you. I know the late 2000s were a wild time, but a lot of this stuff is painful to read in 2024.
Still had fun with this book but I kind of wish I could read a censored or updated version of the story.

Excellent series - do not recommend skipping ahead- read books 1 & 2 first.

For most of the book I was annoyed with everyone but Mac and Dani. Barrons, V'lane, Jayne, Rowena. Gosh, I just wanted the plot to pick up.
Mac's character growth started to show in Faefever. She can stand up for herself and is clever and more independent. I liked how she didn't have to depend on others as much (*cough* Barrons) and figured out a plan for herself.
I was frustrated by the lack of answers, thought the plot wasn't going anywhere, and could barely track of the different characters.
If there's something I admire in authors, it's courage. To send their beloved characters on a crazy ride and show that they can take a story further than what's expected.
Even though it has been foreshadowed, I can't believe what Moning did.
This book took a very, very dark turn. And for the better, because that's when I was most invested in the story.
Somehow I expected this series to keep ok like before; even when things got bad, they would somehow solve.
Wrong. In one section of this book KMM slaps the reader in the face and sets all hell loose.
It was awesome, gutsy and shocking.
4 stars alone for that part, but the rest of the book is 3 stars.
I'm both scared and excited to see where this story goes.

THIS SERIES IS RUINING MY LIFE. This installment of the series is, I think, the best one so far. There is just so much that goes down and the "resolution" at the end, if you want to call it that, is the single worst thing I have ever read in my life. It's perfect. It is exactly what I didn't think could ever possibly happen and the fact that it was so well crafted, along with being so unexpected, is freaking killing me. I mean, I don't even have words for what I'm going through, and I just need to know what happens next so I already have the next two books on my kindle and I probably won't sleep tonight just to know what the f*&% is going on in this world. Ugh. I hate it. I love it. I need it. (I feel kinda like Mac at the end, I guess...)
