So emotional and deep. I am glad they found each other, but that ending ruined me. Need more of lanston's backstory and also more on maybe liam's family and how they came to hate him even from before that happened

It was meh overall. The ending fell flat and seemed very lazy.

Was very predictable, I saw the twist coming a mile away. It was a short book so I did end up finishing it. Damon was a typical narcissist and got what he deserved honestly.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.
Too long winded and the story was going nowhere. Just get to it already with the final murder I don't care about the other aspects of their lives

Got repetitive at times. Also went off on a total different direction of what he was talking about at different points. Was filled with laughter, sadness, inspiration, hope, longing

Was a great book surrounding the bdsm community and how it's not all about power of control. I do wish Charlotte would be more confident in her own skin and let her kinky flag fly even more and not be so nervous and on edge all the time

It read like a YA book with some added sex scenes. Everyone says this book made them sob but maybe I'm cold as ice because at no point did I cry. I felt bad for what archer went through as a child yes, and bree witnessing her father's death. Insta-love trope. And the ending was so cliche and predictable.

I absolutely love this series and can't wait for more! Tess and Ryan are meant to be. This book made me laugh, it made me so angry (troy), it made me so happy. I love the Jacksonville rays

Lilly needed some therapy before just getting surgery. She needed to be honest with everyone around her about who she truly is. Asher needs to get his anger in control before he actually does hurt someone like his father. Did get a bit too preachy and controversial as the story went on
