3.0

The first half of Scales was slow going for me as Layla and her crew try to embark on a working holiday.
The second half of the book was full of a lot more of the action that I have been coming to expect from Ellen Mint and I can't wait for the conclusion of Coven of Desire.
3.5 stars for me.

Okay friends, remember what I said about Mr White last time around? I TAKE THAT BACK. I didn't see that coming, but I should've so now I'm pretending I never said that. YOU SAW NOTHING.

So, this time Layla and the Coven are on their way to a cute little cabin that absolutely does not have a lake monster near by. The absolutely not lake monster is so adorable, I hope we'll see more of him.

With every book I keep falling in love with the characters more and more, I don't know what Ellen Mint puts in these but KEEP 'EM COMING.

Each Coven member is dealing with their own issues, but I think Ink's are my favourite. Because he's on the road to falling in love with Layla (he's already in love, but won't admit it), and he doesn't know how to process it. He's also doubting his place in the Coven.

DON'T WORRY INK, LAYLA WILL NEVER GET RID OF YOU!!! And even if she does I'll make her take you back.

By the way, the steamy scene between them at the beach is high up there with my favourite steamy scenes EVER, if not THE favourite. It was so good, and sweet and Ink's thoughts during that moment...yeah it's my fav. 

We got PoVs from the whole Coven AND, a secret cameo at the end. I've been waiting for this character to pop up again and now I'm pretty sure they'll be back in full swing in the next book.

There was also a little surprise linked to one of Layla's friends, I loved that too.

Sooooo I can't wait for the next one, Ellen Mint please release it like yesterday thank you.
