Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Another solid instalment of the plated prisoner series. I am a sucker for multiple POVs and Gold has the most out of the series so far.

Firstly, Melina's character arc. I am so here for it. All it took was a shadow daddy(!) to give her some tough love, both verbally and in an alleyway, and she became the hero of the whole story so far. The one spicy scene in the book was fantastically written -  'I am your god' 🤤 

I liked that Slade and Auren were separated the whole book - urgh, hello?
ITS A FATED MATES TROPE


Slade's revenge rampage tour was just fantastic. The detail of his rotting power is so well written. With every book I read he's cementing himself as my absolute favourite MMC of all time. 

The ending had me wanting to throw the book across the room. Auren finally discovering
that she has family and having that taken away: agony.


I cannot wait for the final instalment but do not want this to end. 😭
