second read and review.

Okay, so I liked this book but it wasn't my favorite. First there was Wes ghosting everyone and then popping up saying, 'I'm alive!'. Then there was fucking Bridget ruining my day left and right. THEN something happened that is absolutely unspeakable.. because it breaks my heart just thinking about it. THHHEEENNN the ending was way anti-climactic. So yeah, disappointed through and through guys.

Don't get me wrong, I love my guys and all but hot damn - this book was a hot mess. I forgot how much I just 'liked' this one. Only like, not love. Not even surprised that I still feel the same disappointment from everything either. I just really need Kit to get her shit together because idk what the hell was going through her head in this one.

Other than all that jazz, I have nothing else to speak about. Lots of death happened. I was angry a lot with things that were happing and I'm hoping that the next book redeems this one because if it doesn't.. I just don't know what I will do with my life.

Pray for me please.

MY BOYS ARE BACK!

Okay, so The Crow's Murder was something. I can't really put my finger on it because it definitely left me kind of numb. I also have no idea if that's a good or bad thing at the moment.

First things first, I feel like this book might have been all over the place. Again, it could just be me. I still love all my guys and Kit but something was just off in this book. Now there was a ton of death. I feel like Tate James was feeling his "Oprah" thing because he was killing people off left and right. I was sad about some of them.. but I also didn't give a rats ass about most of them.

Kit was just Kit in this book. She's still a bad ass in my eyes but she kind of acts like a pussy. Yeah, she sees some of her friends go through some situations but that doesn't mean she should be cutting everyone off and curling up into a ball. No, she needs to get out there for revenge or some smutty scenes.. or whatever.

Speaking of smut, there wasn't enough! However, what little I got - well, it was on point. I love my guy Austin and I will forever think he is my favorite. I kind of wish I would get more smut or at least some with the other guys. I feel like I mostly just get smut scenes with like three of them now.. I need more people! I demand smutty scenes with every guy!

I feel like I should mention the people I hate before I finish off this review - maybe? Well her mom and Simon will be at the top of the list, forever. I don't know how SImon still isn't truly dead but he needed to go. Then there's her mom, who I never trusted. I would trust the Grinch or Satan way before her. I hated her and how she was so freaking manipulative. I wanted her to run off into the sunset with Simon.. and die.

Then there's the ending. I feel like it was just there. I don't really know how I feel about it because I'm still numb after reading this damn book! I'm kind of irked on how it ended because who knows how long I have to wait for the next freaking book! I expect some damn fireworks in the book!!

Overall, it was kind of underwhelming to read. Not my favorite book of the series and smidge of a disappointment. I've been dying to dive into it and now.. I'm just meh. Again, numb. I will definitely be diving back into this series whenever the next book comes out. Maybe my opinion will change.. maybe it wont.

next book is the last book in the series. thank god. i can’t emphasize enough how stupid and self absorbed the fmc is.

i was sick of all the interruptions.

i agreed with sam the viper that kit was moron.

this stupid bitch called her daddy to come and get her.

The penultimate adventure in Kit's story.  I loved what they did with Wes in this book. Discovering what kind of supernatural he was made lots of sense. However I felt we could have been given on what and where, would have been helpful. Still a great book and an unstoppable series.
