The books just get better. I love seeing Auren grow and come to realize she’s been abused and the power she has and the love she deserves. Her journey has been written so well. I am absolutely in love with Rip. I thought the angst in this one was actually going to kill me but it was so good. And the ending was phenomenal. Very excited to see what all happens in the next book. 

CW: SA/rape (not in detail just the fact it happened), physical and emotional abuse, forced drugging

Rape is not explicit, just mentioned that it has happened to her multiple times. Forced drug use.

What a great series! Hate that the last two books aren't out yet. I read these books to take me out of my reading slump but I'm afraid I'm about to go right back into my slump. This series has everything, adventure, magic, fantasy, lovable caracters, brutality, tension, romance you name it. Love that the main character isn't dependent on the men in the series aswell, they play very important roles, but she grows and ultimately relies on her self for safety and her own personal growth. Love it!
