4.25 ⭐️ there were so many wild plot developments in this book, I felt bad for the characters because I could barely keep up with how fast things were moving for them! Although it is kinda cheesy, I love that everyone is coupling up and there are a few well done “forbidden love” moments that unfort are so entertaining to me even though you can see it all coming from a mile away. The only thing I didn’t super duper love was the sprinkling in of characters from the main series…it felt like they were 1 dimensional, like playing a cameo of themselves in this plot, idk why, but like we read 6 other books with them and they had personality, where did it go? But other than that, I loved it and I love Emma and I hope she continues to kick ass and take names in the next one ⚔️
