Ana and Famine are probably my favorite couple so far. I loved both of them and I’m glad we got some dual POV in this book.

Their relationship was heartbreaking, heartwarming and hysterical. 

I think because these two probably have the darkest backstories, the banter between them was necessary. And I ate it up. Their dynamic made a lot of sense for both of them. And honestly I loved Ana falling in love with Famine when he was at his absolute worst. Because both of them were deprived of actual love and to see them give it to each other unconditionally was the best.

And I loved the way the book ended, definitely more of a cliffhanger than the previous two and a great setup for the final installment in the series.

2/5 on the spicy scale. Again I felt this was more innuendo than actually dirty sex scenes. Plus you don’t get any spice till 65% into the book. But I think this couple didn’t really need that for their relationship, theirs was emotional first and then physical.
