This was has been the weakest book for me so far in this series. I still enjoyed it and I’m going to continue and finish the series by reading book 4, but I had really hoped for more. 

Her last 2 bonds are created in this book, which is great and the pacing of the bondings has been pretty good. But what was mildly infuriating is that she had sex with everyone except for poor, sweet, virgin Kian. It took 43% of the way through this book for that to happen. 

I also hate the whole ears and tail keeps popping out all the time thing, I feel like that’s something that should stop happening as she gets her powers under control. It didn’t happen very much in book 1, started in book 2, and then pretty much every 5 seconds in book 3. Not a big deal, but definitely a little played out. 

There were a lot of interesting discoveries in this book, some plot points/questions from the earlier books that were solved, and enough vengeance to make Damien’s parents proud. I am looking forward to finding out more about Wren’s dad and the evil Grayson goo situation. 

The spice picks up in this book and gets a little bit hotter, but I still feel like it’s a bit vanilla for a 7 mate reverse harem. Wren also seemingly has very clear preference/hierarchy for her mates, Damien, Rowan, Thorn, Alister, Rhett, Lachlan, and Kian in roughly that order. I wish there was a little more equality in the bonds.
