Where do you go when the cops are the killers, saints are the sinners, and the goods are the evil?

10 years ago, the Evans' family fell victim to some revenge play of Delaney Grove; the town made them pay the price with their lives so the others could cover their sins. Their very sins were buried with the murder of an innocent family. Until Victoria Evans is back under the guise of another identity, the fire of her revenge will burn the entire town to ashes, but it might cost every single piece of her still whole enough dream of a normal life with the only person she loves.

A perfectly put together final installment of the most hyped up mindfuck series. This series did live up to it’s name. One of the few series that gets better with each book. All the puzzle pieces aligning together with an unpredictable plot twist and an amazing ending, this book is guaranteed to captivate readers.

This book is mainly surrounded around both the MCs bonding phase, we could clearly see the character developments here.

When Lana's life is put in danger yet again, even under Logan's protection, he feels ever so guilty about dragging her in his world. Caught in the tide of vengeance and her own heart, Lana must find a way to conceal her secrets till she makes every last one of them pay for that night. But secrets always creep back up while she gets involved with the law's hands, putting down crimes, and with another of Logan's teammates uncovering her motives, things get way more complicated.

An amazing read that would make the readers anticipate the other shoe to drop. So glad more details on the mystery and case solving were put down on this.

In this book, things took an unexpected turn, and I'm glad I stayed for it. Despite not feeling any click with the first book, I rather enjoyed it.

When a huge threat hangs over the town, the criminal haunting the streets seems to hold a personal grudge against Logan. Unsettled by the situation, Logan is determined to keep Lana out of harm's way. Little does he know, Lana is ever so restless to carry out her mission under his heavy guard. With every action, her secret is one step closer to being revealed.

The heavy suspense and anticipation of how the story would unravel made up for any other ways this book was lacking. The short chapters kept me invested right up to the very end, with an ending that leaves much to be desired in the next book of the series.

The selection meets magic and monsters; a must read. This enchanting tale of witches, spells, potions, royalty, a heart to guard, a duty to keep, and a deadly threat to the crown will keep you on edge till the very end. It weaves its own magic through the storyline.

When fate is a living, breathing entity inside of you, compelling you to do what it commands. A witch, daughter of fate, an outcast among her own peers, fighting for a place within the circle. When the crown prince of the kingdom stumbles upon her door one night, fate whispers to her that a deadly attempt on his life will be made. To prevent it, she is invited to the palace along with 12 other young women, from whom the prince is to choose a wife—where everyone around is a possible threat. Trapped between friends and foes and games of heart, she learns the ugly truth of everyone around her, so as her own kind.

This book undoubtedly gave more than it offered. The author let the characters wear their flaws like a crown, which made them more interesting. An excellent book to read when you're in the mood for fantasy.

I never thought I needed a book just about the night court members stepping on each other's tails and calling it a bad joke. Since the enternity of this series had been orbiting around chaos, this novella did the perfect work of potraying the peace in between. A deeper dive into charecter building and most needed perspectives.

Okay, hold on a second, the plot just got even crazier; I feel like I need a moment to process everything that happened here. So Paris Anderson just turned immortal overnight thanks to Julliette's parents, who are like some crazy scientists/doctors who can make the dead alive. Then Julliette's character finally losing every sane bone in her body, her sister Emeline existing yet not existing since forever in that damned lab. All the supreme commanders being crazy psychos and wiping their kids' memories back and forth. Castle's daughter's rebel group continuously making stupid decisions, and the other members of Point just going along with it. Then we also find out all the supreme kids' lowkey have their own God complexion, and this disturbing past—well, now I have to admit this is something else. Not like I'm complaining or anything, I'm super happy all these mess were dealt with at the end; otherwise, I wasn't so sure my brain could take anymore of their attempts to destroy the restablishment blowing right up in their faces.
