Well this was quite the roller coaster. I will say that I love our FMC Elena! She exemplifies courage so well. She’s not just a scared little omega (which she definitely was) but she also did her best to take the trajectory of her life in her own hands! Then we watch her progress into someone that pushes these idiot MMCs (and yes, I use that term lovingly) into shape! 

The character growth for both the twins was wonderful to see and then we have Lorcán who just seems a bit lost while trying to get into Elena’s good side after all the craziness that transpired. Then we have dear ol’ Declan. The beta of the group who is honestly probably the smartest. He gives the most comedic relief in this story and is quite literally the best (in my opinion).

My only critique is that the books was so well paced until that very end where things sort of just pop off and then the good stuff comes 😉 I just wish that when her brother shows up, we drag that a little more, or get a bit more insight. It was so much trouble for such little revenge/payoff. Still a wonderful book that I will be rereading again in the future! 

Vanessa Moyen and Michael Gallagher brought these characters to life! Kudos to Michael for voicing 4+ different characters. I was literally able to discern between three characters and I’m gonna give that to both Michael and Sarah Blue for writing it in a way where we can tell the differences between characters…even if I forgot who’s chapter we were in. It was so easy to discern!
