The scream I scrumpt at that cliffhanger!! I'm getting the next book now. 

The audio book was fantastic. All four of the narrators are now my favorite and they were all perfectly cast; I can't imagine anyone else doing these characters. I want to listen to this again just for Grayson Owens, Sean Masters, Devon Ryder and Lessa Lamb.

But then I'll have to listen a third time because the plot?? The chatacters?? The sex???????
5 stars across the board. I love Aurora, her evolution from victim to badass was written so so so well.
Seven, Elijah, and Atticus were perfectly unique from each other, but had such great chemistry together. I love how they interacted with each other and Aurora. 

Did I mention I loved this book?

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!
