Holy. Crap. This book had me captivated from the first few lines. I couldn’t put it down! Devoured it in one day. The plot was incredible, full of mystery and revenge. The character development was beautiful. The spice was HAWT. And that ENDING!!! Screaming. Hanging on by a hangnail on that cliffhanger. I a thoroughly obsessed with these 5 (yes 5. I am including the dog Ellie- duh) 

Also, spinoff book for Ellie? Or a chapter from her POV? I wanna know what that dog sees and what she’s thinking.

Wow! I LOVED Aurora. And I LOVED Seven. Like, this book was pretty DARK and violent. The spice wasn’t constant like…i think there were three, but it was HOT. My brain’s all over the place after finishing this book. It was chaos in all the best ways. All the characters were pretty grey, which was different and fun for me. I loved watching the FMC accept her darker thoughts and feelings, and slowly come to terms with her more intense nature. She embraced the idea and actions of not having to be the perfect good-girl. And the MMC’s helped her with it, while they all dealt with their own issues. 


But holy cow batman. The cliffhanger 😭😭😭 can’t wait for book two already!
