The Review
✨ The Title/Cover Draw:
- Having recently read the first 2 books, I was super excited for this conclusion. Purchased it the day it came out and started it immediately.
💜 What I liked:
- It finally comes together! There is lots of intrigue, a little spying, and a lot of love in this book. Harper and Rhen, and Grey and Lia Mara grow in their respective relationships.
😱 What I didn’t like:
- For me, the book didn’t really kick it into gear until about 50% of the way through. I REALLY wanted to give it a 5 star rating. There is a lot of regret revisited over and over…and over. And sadly, due to the ending (see below) I had to drop it a star.
💁♀️ The Characters:
- We follow the same characters or Harper, Rhen, Grey, Lia Mara, Tycho, Jake, Noah and their entourage.
🚦 The Ending:
- While Grey and Lia Mara definitely got a good resolution….
💥 ****Spoilers****
- Rhen and Harper definitely got the raw end of the deal when it comes to their story. Understandable, for sure, but I just wanted MORE.
💭 Consider if you:
- Have read the other 2 and want to see what happens.
All thoughts and opinions are my own.
