So let me preface this by saying that this book is the ๐ŸŒถspiciest๐ŸŒถ book in the trilogy. However, it is written in a way that you won't miss any important information if you're a smut skimmer like me! Thank you Erin! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’œ

The writing is excellent! I enjoyed the twists, the characters are complex and wonderful, and the world building is immersive. Sin and Wren truly are perfect for eachother. They're both morally grey and broken in ways that meld so beautifully. I do wish there hadn't been as much profanity (or that it would've been condensed to the intimate scenes so it could've been skimmed more easily,) but obviously that's not an issue for everyone! My favorite is the first book, but I enjoyed the whole series and I'm glad I got to see where their complicated love story lead! The end left me sobbing. I love them so much.

Thank you so much to the sweet author for the digital review copy!
