I don’t know exactly why I love this series, but I do. In this book, I start to understand the motivations and backstories for the heirs, and feel bad for most of them. ( except max. F Max. I’m also annoyed by Seth’s whimpering lol). The plot thickens as the twins approach the trials that determine if they can stay at school and the lunar eclipse where shit is planning to go down. With everything, the stakes are raised and the spice increases. The writing isn’t award winning but the characters, plot, and intrigue keeps me wanting more. I tried so hard here not to give anything away lol.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved seeing Darcy and Tory coming into their power more and more. I have mixed feelings on the heirs, they still frustrate me but they're growing on me. Geraldine and Xavier are my favorite characters so far and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them.

I'm loving the plot more with each book as well. I'm excited to see the aftermath of the girls order finally emerging and I'm definitely looking forward to continuing on to the fourth book when I can.

This so far has been the most enjoyable book in the series. The writing is questionable and honestly so is the storyline, very much feels like a Wattpad novel. It’s written in a way that’s not advanced (possibly only a step above beginner) and the target audience is (should be) adult - there’s a mismatch between intended and actual audience it seems and the content definitely should not be read by actual “young” young adult readers.

Also a personal thing- not loving the play on words with ‘faebook’ and the likes, nor am I loving the text messaging and hashtaging - so maybe I’m not an urban fantasy lover.

I think I’m officially hate reading this series. Oh well. I can’t decide if I want to DNF or keep reading because I enjoy the shit show that is this series. There will be moments I’m really having a silly goofy times but other times where I’m not having a fun time at all and questioning my life decisions. I also am getting so triggered at times reading this which isn’t fun. On the other hand it’s been good escapism and helps turn off my brain which is necessary at times.
