This book had some really good bones but I did get frustrated with our main girl!! She constantly back tracked and her lack of trust really got annoying. And for a character who hated the miscommunication ... there was much of it... it was ridiculous! It was spicy though and the narration was good as an audiobook!

This was entirely worth the hype !! It was fucking fantastic ! The humour, the darkness, the spiceness was perfectly balance and perfection! I am so so happy I read it!! It was simply a delight (and yes I don't care what this means about me, i loved it! ) Can't wait to see what else comes of this universe !!!

I had hopes for this book … but Liam and Sebastian burnt them to the ground ! I wish she was stronger to just embrace what she wanted … but alas that’s not the case because other than Pax, I enjoyed the brothers who arrived and the party scene in Scorpio showed how much potential this had to be fun with the brotherhood…

Things are certainly heating up and I've come away with more questions than before! I honestly trust no one! And half of them are scum... and yet so hot.. I am curious how they are going to deal with their feelings for another 6 books!! And 6 men!!

There is something dark and mysterious about this book and the lore. I like the idea of the zodiac  having their own person and kingdom like. This is dark though with questionable consent , but I am intrigued enough to continue the rest of the story and see what a hell of ride it will be!

This was a really sweet ending to the series! I am sad to see them grow!! I have loved Viggo for all these previous books and it was delightful to read his story !! It was fun! He was just so caring and it was nice to see that finally be given back to him! The speech at the end was beautiful and I am going to miss this world and this family !

I finally listened to my mom and read this book.... and now I wished I had listed sooner! This was fantastic! I loved the switching of POV and how each one had their own narrator! The mystery was great and I loved both past and present day storylines as well as the twists a t the end! So So Good!!
