I absolutely loved the first book to this series so naturally I had to read this and it did not let me down. I loved the ending of this book. It was amazing and what I wanted to happen to Serafina. I also really loved the suspense in this book. Rowena as a character was so annoying but I love when books give me intense feelings just like this one did. This book is quite violent but for me personally it didn’t bother me. I would say this book is for ages 10 and up because of the violence. I also thought the word building was amazing. We got to see Serafina come out of hiding and engage more with the Vanderbilts. I also thought the world building was great and not too much to handle.
