This is my favorite book of the series so far. I loved Zephyr, and the whole seduction plot was so fun to read. Over time I started liking Alpha more, his conflicting feelings about her were always fun to read about. 

Dark Romance, Opposites Attract, Second Chance, 3 3/4 🔥

The plot and the characters were all wonderful and I did not see the plot twist comin as with every other book in this series. I thought Alpha was a really mysterious and cool protagonist and Zephyr was hella fun to read from the pov of. However, I found the pacing and plot development to be pretty inconsistent and kind of unrealistic. The fact that she conveniently meets alpha in the arena and he agrees to marry her 2 weeks later seemed kind of off to me. Also the development of their equation over time felt kind of rushed to me.  The pace at which the characters completely changed their opinions and frame of mind over a certain topic was pretty stupid and at times your just like "wait weren't you like 100% against this 2 minutes ago?". But its an entertaining read and doesn't fail to keep you on your toes. As always Tristan and Morana and Dante and Amara were a delight to read about again.

I didn't think I could love another couple as much as I do, but this series has me in a chokehold.

This book was a refreshing respite after the tension in the last book. Don't get me wrong, there are still darker themes here, but it was more a side plot to the main couple. The overall plot comes into play in a different way with these two. 

I loved that each couple, in each book, is so different. You can't help but fall for each of them yourself. 

Zephyr is very relateable, and the themes covered with Zee were handled with the same care we see RuNyx handle the past books themes. 

Alpha, what can we say. We all need a Tarzan!
