I wanna rate this 1 star just because of all the emotional damage that ending caused me. 😭 I knew that everything was too good to be true, but SJM really didn't have to do all that, man. 🙃

Anyway, I loved this book even more than the first one. This was plot twist after a plot twist with bunch of tea being spilled. The smut was to die for like *chef kiss* absolutely loved it.

I loved everything about this book. It was action packed. It was romance packed. The story kept on giving and giving. Each POV has so much potential for future books and I honestly can't wait to see more. I've never been as excited for a sequel as I am for Crescent City no.3

This book, also, made me fall in love more with all these characters. Their banter was hilarious. The found family vibes were real! There was so much love, platonic and romantic, in this book that I AM LEFT ABSOLUTELY HEARTBROKEN!!!! If I did not have a fresh spetum piercing in my nose I would let myself cry my fucking heart out. But alas, I have a fresh septum and I did not feel like having all that snot in my nose that I would have to blow out. Like... sorry... this is the shittiest fucking review ever. This is not even a review. Just me not even knowing what to say because this book was so fucking good I am left speecless. It literally fucked my brains out, okay?

Hunt and Bryce were so fucking sexy and adorable. So many feels. Ruhn and Agent Daybright.. gods! Just Ruhn! Fucking hell. I've never been thirsty for a man like I'm thirsty for this piece of shit. Tharion... I didn't like you in the first book but boy I'm drooling all over myself. Flynn and those lil fire sprites as his personal cheerleaders? Adorable. Content I signed up for. Declan and Marc? Adorable. Love me some gays. Fury and June? Adorable. Love me some lesbians. Cormac, baby, I hated you but he's hot so I forgave him being a dick at first. Ithan, boy, you're too cute and too hot for my own good. I don't think I've ever been this thirsy for characters. Like BDB and ACOTAR were the last time I was drooling this much. 

I was used and abused by this book and I'd willingly let it do it again. I'd beg for it. And I would say thank you after.
