Best book in the series so far BY FAR! The ending of this book had me bingeing it until the early morning. Worth all of the moments leading up to it. Excited to see what happens next

Aussitôt le tome 2 terminé, je n'avais d'autre choix que d'enchainer directement sur la suite et j'ai vraiment bien fait ! Ici on retrouve Midas qui m'a vraiment terrorisé pendant toute l'histoire. Il est tellement imprévisible, impulsif et manipulateur qu’il en devient terrifiant. 

De son côté Auren continue de déconstruire sa bulle de protection pour reconnaître les abus et sortir de ce schéma de maltraitance. Le développement psychologique est vraiment bien maitrisé et encore une fois, on ne peut qu’apprécier sa force. La quatrième armée et le Wrath m'ont vraiment manqué et je n’attendais qu’une chose : qu’elle quitte ce stupide palais au plus vite. 

La personnalité de Rip est hyper intéressante à creuser et je suis encore plus tomber amoureuse de lui. Côté intrigue, plusieurs passages m'ont briser le cœur et le cliffhancer était vraiment horrible ! Heureusement que la suite est déjà sortie, parce que je n’aurais pas pu rester sur cette fin.

I really enjoyed this one.

There were many twists and reveals that I didn’t see coming. The cliff hanger leaves much to question that I’m assuming will be answered in the future books.

I love Slade. I love the Wrath. Auren is growing on me….like a fungus. Lol
watching Auren come into her power was beautiful. She still made a few mistakes but she has learned to fight for herself and for Slade and it was so refreshing.


The sex scenes were very hot! It switched to more modern language for a second and it was a bit jarring at first but it was well done. There were also some heart wrenching scenes that were well done and had my jaw on the floor. I really liked this one and I’m glad I stuck it out to get to this book.

I really enjoyed this book! Flew through it in two days and I was so pleased with how some storylines played out! I still do not care for malina and wish her chapters didn't exist but I enjoy all the other POVs. Worth a read and some good spice in this one, no idea where the series is going next but I know I'm along for the ride!
