I had already read books 2 & 3 in the series, and honestly I'm glad I read them in the order that I did. For the first 3/4 of this book, I found all the characters just a little too unlikeable. It does give the entire trilogy's story arch a stronger meaning knowing this is how the 4 of them started out, but I can't help but think had I read this one first I would have been put off by the Delilah's acidity, Astrid's coolness, and Iris' outlandishness.

And I loved, when I got to the end of this book, bringing up in my mind's eye the last scene of book 3. All together, this trilogy is absolutely incredible and I wouldn't be exaggerating to say that Ashley Blake Herring has made a romance reader out of someone who frequently turned their nose up at the genre.
