I have *Temporarily put 4 stars for this book* https://pin.it/2HLgxud

For the sole reason of having finished it JUST last night, and I usually need to sit with the book after to assess my thoughts in hindsight. But at a prima facie level, I would give it 4 stars. I WOULD have given it 5 stars, if Lo's reaction to Daisy's and Ryke's relationship was a LITTLE less predictable. That was the anticipated climax of the book and the fact that I predicted it was, alright (*shrug* but still iconic!).

I like many other fans, was not a real fan of Ryke's character in the first couple books. I found him annoying in his arrogance and when cross comparing to Connor found that he lacked that charm that would leave a feeling of slight... well... suspense. But BOY was I wrong. The onion layers slowly started to peel off in this book and I as a self-flagellating connoisseur, I LOVE to be proven wrong by authors. I still feel like there is something missing, regardless of having finished the book, about Ryke's character. SOMETHING doesn't add up. I know he is obviously hiding a lot, but I think there is more to his issue with his father than what was told on the face of it.

Aside from character assessment, I found his care-taking of Daisy beyond wholesome and adorable. They are both compatible in their way of coping family issues, and I am glad that they found each other to feel less alone when facing their inner turmoils.

That's it for now. I g2g pick up rock climbing now and find my own personal brooding rock-climber and fellow early morning sympathiser.

THE. BEST. BOOK SERIES. EVER
PERIOD

Just finished this book and I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS BOOK SERIES.
I AM IN LOVE WITH EVERY CHARACTER AND THEIR STORIES.

I love Daisy and Ryke so so so much.
These two have all my heart. The fact that they both fuel each other's energy is just..
This book was different than other ones because in this book we got to see more of their upcoming future lives.
Like how Lily and Lo and handling everything even when Lo relapses. How Ryke overcame everything his hatred towards his dad and his mom.
I loved how Ryke's relationship with Lo got better. Now they are like the real brothers who would always stand by each other's side no matter what.
Plus there is a fucking twist to Rose and Lily's story can't say here it would be a big major spoiler for the upcoming books.
I love their trips and their adventures.
It was really nice seeing how Ryke was always there for Daisy when she needed his help whether it was for her sleeping issues, her privacy issues, her modeling issues. It was Ryke who was there by her side at every step.

I love how they love each other.

RYKE AND DAISY THE ADRENALINE RUSHERS.

I Don't think i am ready to complete this series and i know there are still many books left but i relate to these people a lot and love all of them a lot. Sometimes it feels like its not just a book and the characters of the book but the very real person and i am witnessing their lives.

I just love the Core Six. ❤️

"Boys are like pillars," Rose tells me. "Ryke is something to lean on. But they can't make you move. You have to do that yourself."


I'm just screaming into the void.
