Honestly this was fire. Lowkey had a lot of plot twists or revelation type things. Immediately picking up the next one. Also the memes made from this book must be stupid funny.

Rebecca Ross better count her days for leaving me on a cliffhanger!!! It as really good though. Book started slightly slow, and it was a lot more melancholic than I expected, but I really enjoyed it. I love the dark vibes, the mystery, the unraveling of suspicious events. Some stuff you can predict, but it’s not entirely predictable. I think the book definitely made me want to continue reading and reading. I love Roman and Iris, I think they’re super relatable. This book does deal a lot with death and loss and the aftermath of it. Honestly though I loved it! I tabbed it a ton. Immediately starting the second one.

It wasn’t as good as the previous two books. It felt a lot more philosophical and introspective. I feel like there are a few holes in the story and the action scenes were a little lack luster, but I think what happened in the end made sense. I just want to know Deja’s true name.

This one was cool. I still really hate Adam. Juliette needs a backbone! But she is more tolerable in this one than the last.

I was really irritated by how annoying Xaden and Violet were in the beginning, but by the middle of the book, shit really picked up. It was craaazy I was on one having to read it all continuously. He's fr my husband. End made me sob. I really hope they don't fuck him over in the next book, he needs some peace.
