You can see all my reviews here: Books Are The New Black

I think this book packed a lot more action than the previous two. There’s still a lot of issues with the world-building but it was an improvement. One of things that I really liked with this book is where we FINALLY get with Poppy. I think… I’ve been waiting the entire series for this Poppy and I’m glad she’s finally made an appearance. I do hope that she’s here to stay.

I have already said this a couple times in the previous book reviews but they need to be shorter. I love that they don’t feel extremely long but there’s just so much in there that could be shortened or taken out completely. These are chunky books and I think the length works against it here. There are just so many things that are repeated over and over. We know, we get it! At the same time, I was confused a lot of times too. Mostly, it had to do with Poppy’s lineage and I just have no idea. It’s a mess and I still can’t figure it out. haha.

One of my favorite tropes is enemies to lovers. I loved that this is how the story started in book 1. I have to say, sometimes when couples finally get together and the guy becomes insanely alpha-male, it’s such downer for me. I just catch myself rolling my eyes. Although, I do think that their relationship has evolved and they are well matched for what needs to be done. Cas is okay with Poppy taking the lead and making decisions, which I appreciate.

Overall, the last 30% of the book made this entire book. There’s so much going on and a lot of things are revealed that have me impatiently waiting for the next book! I do hope that it’s more of a concise and unrepetitive book but I don’t have high hopes. I do hope that the Poppy we get at the end doesn’t go away in the next book. I have really enjoyed my time with these books and I’m loving it even more since I’ve been buddy reading them with Maya & Dini! I can’t wait for the next one girls!
