I dont know how to explain it, but whenever I see a dialongue akin to "we're not doing that. You remember what happened last year, right?" I immediately brace for a shitty time.  đź«  not worth the read if that's how we start this off. 


Thoroughly enjoyed this but a few too many things fell short. So much world building yet barely any explanation of how their world actually works (government, laws etc), way too many characters to keep track of, it could’ve been so easy to make the FMC less dumb and give her a shred of self preservation, the slowest most infuriating burn between the main characters with the most anticlimactic end imo, overall the book could’ve easily been 200 pages shorter.

i. love. mortifer. I will feed him ice chips all day. Where to i get a mortifer please?
This series is the slowest of SLOW fricking burn. The tension and anticipation. I'm dying here.
IT WAS SO WORTH IT THOUGH.

Loren and darien.. where do i even begin. At first i found loren mildly irritating, which wasn't her fault as she is just human. But her whole 'im weak and human' pity party had me irritated at times. HOWEVER, her selflessness and caring for others was rather sweet so you can't fault her for not being the typical feminine rage fmc. Different can be refreshing sometimes.

HELLO ? THE PLOT TWISTS ? I was so gripped to this book and the politics within. i can't wait for the next one !
Also every negative thing about loren that i have said and thought, i take back. The ending of this book gave me whiplash like ive never endured before. I am absolutely gobsmacked.

Darien started of as a dark and broody brute until he met loren. Since then he became a very emotionally confused guard dog. He is so traumatised and emotionally unavailable to begin with but loren pulls him right out. Their bond had me screaming, crying and throwing up. The lengths these two would go for each other is immaculate.

The story had the potential to be fun, but the main character made me want to set myself on fire.  I've never met a character that was a literal deer in headlights.  Any danger, she freezes. Given the chance to make a decision, she jumps into traffic.

I did not expect to like this as much as I did! I love Darien and Loren!! Darien is such a softie in the inside I can’t. Be AWARE this is like fanfiction but a tad bit better.

There were some typos, grammar mistakes, and some placement of word/formatting that irked me a bit. 

It gives me immortal instrument vibes n the best way possible. I wish we got to see the other devils more because I love a found family and their bond. I heard the next books are multiple POV so I might need to continue. 

This book felt way too long at times. The writing did irked me because I wish the author would remind us the readers who characters were or events that happened… because I needed to figure out who was who every time someone new or if they popped up again. 

Dallas wasn’t the
best friend that Loren painted her to be until the end. Also, why did Loren say she didn’t have friends like Slinger… girl bffr! There’s sabrine and Dallas
… anyways on to the good

I had a fun time reading this either way. I had my expectations low thankfully. It got me out of a reading slimp. This was entertaining and fun! I love seeing vampires, warlocks, and so many other creatures in this. I may be reading the next book but the length of these are deterring me though.

So much filler. Cut out half the pointless chapters and it could have been better
