I love this book so much. I think all the newly introduced characters, as well as the already known characters are both great. I also think it’s a great set up for the spin off series. But Grayson really needs therapy or a love interest.

This is really the only non-fantasy series I have read, but I love it so much! The characters are all amazing and had me crying at multiple points. I will say the love-triangle gets annoying, but I’m glad Avery ended up with Jameson.

Juliette and Aaron are cute. They annoy me sometimes, but I try to ignore that. The story itself is ok, and I only got through the last three books because of Nazeera and Kenji, but they were worth it.

The characters in this book are unbelievably boring. The book itself is just a knock-off of Six of Crows, with the audacity to add vampires to it.
