Tris and rix were absolutely explosive together. The hate was definitely covering up so tension between these two and when they finally gave in it burned hot between them. The banter between them was hilarious at times. I’m loving these new characters and can’t wait to see what else we get from them. 

I did find all the weird names/nicknames a little distracting, especially when there were 3 main characters with H names.

This series is an interesting concept for a story. It’s unlike any other series I’ve read before. 

Asha and the vandawolf are enemies from the start. Both hated by those around them for different reasons. Despite being enemies the two of them formed a bond. Can these two manage to find a way to be with each other while also handling all the dangers they are facing? Not knowing who to trust or how to defeat their enemies.

This book was a bit boring. Gavin was a pushover and afraid to take risks and stand up for himself and his daughter. Harley was too nice and just let everyone walk all over her because she was trying to be so understanding. The mother in law was a complete overbearing, controlling, codependent monster. The book just want not that enjoyable.

I have loved every step of this groups journey to finding love. Lenny and bash had a mess road to navigate in order to be together. They cared about each other so much and never let the obstacles they faced hold them back. 

Lenny was stubborn and wouldn’t let bash hide his feelings for her. Bash was just as will ing to make things work.
