5.0

The tension, the conflict. Sometimes I just wanted to shake Jude, she needed to just to relax. She put all this weight on her own shoulders. That kind of didn’t need to be their. I can see why she felt the way she did but goodness girl, you need a massage and some sleep. 

She had everything under control but she was tightly pulled in a hundred different ways that she could see what was right in front of her which made the ending so much more heartbreaking. Because she was finally starting to relax, she was finally starting to believe and Carden just stabbed her in the back. I’m honestly glad I have the whole series because I couldn't have sat with that ending. I just instantly picked up the next book.
