Wow, I’m taken aback for words.  This series has given me everything I could ask for: transformations, reveals, a hero’s villain origin story, villains just for the sake of evil, slow burn romance, a good mixture of smut and fluff, great plot and story and characters, it’s all there. It does get a bit confusing if you’re not familiar with how naming goes in this book, but once you catch on it gets easier.  This was such a great read.  Thank you, Alicia, for holding me hostage and keeping me from watching its show equivalent until I finished this.

I loved it, like this os one of my personality traits now, but, there are some problems, the stereotypes of gay people, the lack of diversity in the females characters and some major plot holes thar were left unexplained. I love this story with my whole heart, but still has things that would be nice if changed.
