I have absolutely no words. I adored ALL of the characters. The vibes this series gave were just immaculate. Not gonna lie I’ve been waiting since book one for Jean Lucs redemption arc and I’m glad we got it. Also,
THE EPILOGUE?!?! I don’t think I’ve ever cried to much for a series. I mean these books literally made me SOB. And can we talk about the fact that Ansel found peace with Etienne?!!! My heart omg.
And I must say I love me the troupe.
The physic twins, dragon, and NOT damsel have my whole heart!

I could not make it through the epilogue without sobbing hysterically. While the first book remains my favorite out of the series, this I felt was a good conclusion. There was A LOT, but it again wraps up nicely. I really grew to love Beau and Lou in this book. Something about him being wholly accepting of Lou being his sister due to Reid just warms my heart. I love a good found family story, and Lou’s group is a good depiction of that, even if they can all get at each others necks here. Favorite scene would definitely have to be the truth or dare chapter

It's a surprise that I finished this series because I hated the second book. It put me in a book slump and I felt like all the characters that I had grown to love were not the same anymore. My biggest annoyance with books in general is miscommunication and that's what I remember about the 2nd book. Reid and Lou couldn't communicate their feelings/actions for the life of them.

Fast forward though, I wanted to know how it ended. This book fixed everything that the 2nd messed up. Ansel's death didn't affect me when it happened at the end of the 2nd book because I was just so over it, but this book had me missing his banter and his character. I love Coco's and Lou's friendship. Even with everything that happened in the book Reid and Lou never became standoffish.

My only issue which is really my fault is that I couldn't remember ANY characters and their names. I didn't remember their roles in the previous books even after reading recaps I still forgot. There's just way too many characters to remember.

Reading this one makes me want to reread the whole series again and push through the 2nd book to remember everything that happened.

Not too much happened in terms of plot in this one!
at first when Reid lost his memories, I was so annoyed. But then I was glad that it happened so that they could prove that they would fall in love even knowing she was a witch.
the final battle was pretty cool. I wasn’t too upset by any of the losses. Definitely my least favorite of the 3, but glad I read it and the ending was cute.

Beautiful, wonderful book. Despite every issue that Lou and Reid faced, their lovely group were able to fight through it together. Constant adventures, unyielding love, finding yourself, and so much more. The ending left me sobbing and excited to read more.

The first half DRAGGED.  I started it and sat it down for MONTHS because it seemed like it was taking forever to get to the point. But I'd really enjoyed the first two books, so I wanted to power through. I don't regret it, the last half was really good, enjoyable, and satisfying, it just took FOREVER to get to that point.
