My least favourite book of the series so far. The plot felt rushed and not very fleshed out. Brexley is given the opportunity to seek revenge so many times and it never comes to fruition which starts to become predictable and boring. A certain characters death is sad when it happens but predictable. Even the spice in this book seemed more forced into the plot than the other books. I did however enjoy the ending and the set up of the next book.

This one dragged on. It’s also 10x darker than any of its predecessors. Stacey’s world building is so meticulous you feel as if you are with Brex and Warwick the entire time, which for most of the book is great, but I could have done without the (second, third) prison stays.

Amazing next installment. I have never read a book that gave me anxiety sweats literally from page 1 to the end. An emotional ride, it was just captivating. The spice is amazing, the plot is dark and twisty. My only “complaint” is that I could see the traitor plot twist coming a mile away.
