I’m not typically a fan of mysteries or thrillers but this was so good! Just when I thought I had it solved, I was thrown for a loop! Highly recommend!

I dnf-ed this book about 100 pages to the end. I read it for book club and it just wasn’t for me. The writing itself was done well but I wasn’t in love with the characters and there wasn’t too much of a story besides the inner workings of a poly relationship. 2 stars because the writing was good and I almost made it to the end. I love a good smutty book but 750 pages of it is a bit excessive and I simply could not focus while reading it.

I was in a huge reading slump so it took me FOREVER to finish this book but when I tell you it was so worth it… IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!

I’m not going to lie, I found Feyre to be a bit annoying in the first two books but this book gave her so much depth in my opinion and truly made her a well-rounded character. I am obsessed with this series!

OMG!!! Each book in this series gets better and better! The spice! The plot twists! The world building! Also, getting Morgana’s POV was a real treat! I loved getting to hear her thoughts… And everyone else’s😉

AMAZING!! I fell for the characters instantly and they immediately felt like best friends of mine! I can’t get enough of this book (I mean, I’m literally dreaming about it!) and am so ready to read the other books in the series!
