It never fails, I finish a ZA book and have to go do something to make myself happier and less angry!
And I think this book made me feeling more angry and so hopeless at the ending than the previous in the series.

The authors continue to provide several twists, though they may be gut wrenching punches at times, that allow the readers to maintain a sense of forever holding your breath, tears pricking the backs of your eyes, and woe 90% of the series. There are some lovable moments though, and the romances have you longing for the stars to finally come through and provide a happy ending. 
So here’s to fate, the stars providing some relief, and less anguish in the next book!

I just didn't need to read a graphic r*** scene, regardless of how evil the guy getting assaulted is, it doesn't add to the plot at all and was clearly just added in for shock value. I already wasn't enjoying the book as much as the others because they're supposed to be at war and literally nothing is happening but yeah that scene just cemented the fact that I'm done with this series

I’m tired, you guys. My heart can’t take the abuse any more. It’s. Not. F*cking. Fair. 😭😭😭

UPDATE: Re-read to finish the series. It’s worse than I remember, and I remember it being really f*cking brutal 😭 I’m kinda terrified to start Book 8….

Did this book chew up my heart and spit it out? Yes. Did it tear my soul into tiny pieces? Also yes. But it had my thanking it and asking for more. I love these characters so much and we’ve come such a long way from the villainous Heirs and ignorant Vegas. I am at the edge of my seat waiting for the finale of this series. Though I’m very upset I have to way until December 2022 for the final book. I waited nearly 4 months to start reading this book trying to close the gap between the two of them since I was able to consecutively consume books 1-6. Alas, I was weak and NEEDED to know what happened, and even still I tried to make this book last. Luckily it is super long (but super good and it does not drone on like some long fantasy books do) and so heavy that I couldn’t read the book in a night or two like I’d done with the previous books. I think I’ll just have to read the boys’ POV and the other short stories (and possibly Ruthless Fae) to get my Zodiac fix for the next 8 months. Peckham and Valenti need to stop trying to kill us!
