This book was superb everything I needed from a book. It has a little bit of slow burn romance, a little bit of humor, and a whole lot of mystery and adventure. This book finally delved into Blue, I had been waiting to see how this character could be just as deep and complex as the other characters. We finally get to see her as a main character with complex emotions instead of this practical sidekick. The author invested so much time to bring Blue into the forefront to develop this character when you think about it. Blue’s abilities have forced her to be a sidekick a supporting role. Which is what we had really seen for the last 2 books, we saw a sassy teen with a tendency to be underwhelmed by everything. Then we get to the third book where we now still see this sassy teen, but due to unexpected events that force her to be the hero the we get to see how scared and vulnerable she is, *chef’s kisses*. Plus in this book we finally get to see how Ronan feels about Blue which was exactly what I needed because I was unsure if Ronan saw Blue as another annoyance or as a friend. But Blue isn’t the only character that was due for character development, we finally start to see Adam mature and grow, thank god. His pity party and self sabotaging behavior disguised as pride was getting on my nerves.
