really liked it, magnus and alec are everything i love them with all of my heart and they mean the world, finally read their book so excited for the next one but at the same time kinda disappointed because at times i was bored it's not 100% bad obviously but still bored! 
the plot twist was fun and seeing raphael and his scene with alec at the party was definitely one of the best parts of the book, that man is so relatable haha it's insane! then aline and helen helping alec was fun too!! seeing tessa aaa my baby was so good, also catarina loss, even johnny rook and malcom fade was fun so the book was good not amazing but still good and enjoyable! at the end, alec and magnus at the cutest scenes ugh i love them so much!!!! so yeah im happy i finally read it!!

i really liked it, it was fun and jordan is a badass queen who doesn't need no one but im so happy she finally found happiness and everything she deserves! pike was good, just sometimes he said some things i wasn't the biggest fan of but he did treat jordan right and makes her happy and also loved he finally found the one and he's happy better than ever! it was a fun book, i wasn't that obsessed but it felt a little bit more mature and it's cute that cole and jordan and pike all get along fine i mean good for them, i couldn't care less about cole hut glad he figured it his life too, wish we could see pike and cole making things right with each other and also cole with jordan but meh ok it was good!

i like tate and jared more now don't get me wrong bully was fun but u remember when i read it for the first time i wasn't their biggest fan but after reading the other books and seeing them from other people's povs yeah i ended up loving them obviously and this one was a necessity i see it now, i was heartbroken for jared and what he been through but so glad and happy he understood what he did wasn't really the answer and he needed tate in his life so i love them i get it and tho they're not my fave, they're definitely good and they complete each other and i think that's beautiful!! also seeing jax's again aaaaa I miss him and i might rr rival and falling away i don't care!
but so happy the author published this book, tho i didn't really wanted to go through what i did when u read bully, im glad i waited and read this one later now i do appreciate them a lot and i love them, kinda ready to read their other novella so!! 
as you can see im going through penelope douglas' books and i can't stop im having the best time ehehe

please im still in my penelope douglas era and im so happy ehehe im having so much fun and tyler and easton are so underrated for what?? ugh i love them, easton deserves the world, she's so strong and finally so loved and tyler also finally found someone who can match him and finally has a good relationship with his son im so happy for them !! 
their banter was so good since the beginning, easton with her big mouth and always getting under tyler's skin was so much fun but also tyler getting under her skin was hot too! tyler might not be my fave pd mmc but definitely is one of the best ones, the way he wasn't playing games and told easton he wanted her and liked her right away!! tho sometimes he said things i didn't really like, he's amazing and the way he deeply loves his son and wanted so bad to make things better but also took him a while to figured it out how to fully put his son first and all, was a journey but a beautiful one and they ended up a happy family so ugh I love it!! 
easton having the family she deserves is also the best thing, after losing her parents and little sister and finding out stuff about her brother, having tyler and christian by her side it's what she deserves and happiness and the whole world i really love her, she might be one of my fmc faves by pd ehehe so go give them a change! they're so good please! and the way easton teaches these kids?? i wish I had her as my teacher damn respect! oh and they were so damn hot i was giggling and kicking my feet in the air every single interaction goddammit jadj so good!!
