I jumped straight into ZA5 after the events of ZA4. I can’t say anything else without spoilers. I was worried The Twisted Sisters would kill Orion or banish him to the Shadow Realm - things aren’t peachy but at least he isn’t dead. I liked the character growth in this one. Darius and Tory had to live with the decision of saying no to being Elysian Mates which allowed them time to understand each other’s point of view and take responsibility for both of their actions - neither is blameless in this. The Heirs finally figured out the only way to beat Lionel is to team up with the Twins. Gabriel was revealed as the Twins half brother - something I figured out in book 4. I also love the Geraldine and Max banter which certainly lightens the heaviness of the book.
