🥀 Why choose // RH romance
💗 Beauty & the Beast retelling
🌸 Fae world
🥀 Magic, danger & curses
💗 Morally grey men
🌸 Touch her & d!e
🥀 Cliffhanger
I enjoyed so much of this book, but the pacing was a bit off. Specifically, the spice felt a bit oddly placed throughout. We went from the most aggressive edging to a feral horny pack of fae 😂
That being said, I’m so sad that Ez began to gave me the ick. Maybe it’s the fact Rose calls him “daddy” or him calling her “baby girl.” I prefer Petal.
I will say this book had some of the darkest themes across the last two books, which I actually liked! It added a new layer of depth to the series.
I’m still having a great time with this series nonetheless and am waiting to see what they do with my man Caspian.
Also that plot twist?! I wasn’t expecting that ending!
