As always, the writing was fantastic. There were so many emotions I felt on this final journey with Wilder and Thea. I laughed, I cried, I gasped, I screamed, I cursed. ALL OF IT. The entire series was written beautifully but the final book? I couldnโ€™t have asked for a more perfect ending. 

Donโ€™t even get me started on the way Helen writes her spicy scenes ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿ”ฅ they are nothing but perfect.

Those of us who have read the series have grown to love everyone dearly. Each book introduced at least one new member to join the found family. In the end that family became something wonderful, unbreakable, bonded. 

Imagine the scream I scrumpt when Helen announced we wonโ€™t be leaving Thezmarr yet?!

This part is hard for me to write about without spoiling, so all I will say is from book 1 all the way to book 4 Helen tied up the storyline perfectly and left absolutely no loose ends in THIS story. However she did leave just enough for us to be feral while anticipating whatโ€™s to come with her next WIP. Things from book 1 were brought into book 4 and clarified and I was able to make sense of everything so easily. THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL.
