3 ⭐

Honestly, I rounded this rating up to a 3 because that cliff hanger got me and I was not prepared for that bomb. Don't get me wrong, I am still interested in this series and will see it through....but it feels more like a trashy tv show that I can't help but binge. (If it was a show, it would probably be on the CW).

This book felt way too long. There was filler in here that probably didn't need to be and, had it been edited down a little, I probably would have enjoyed it more. (A little worried seeing as the next book is JUST as long).

It did get spicier. But I don't know if I loved that or not. A lot of the spicy moments felt very cringe and awkwardly written..... like, at this point, I would NOT recommend this book for the spice.

I DID appreciate how this book really delved into the multi-POV format. I liked getting the perspectives of the guys to break up Oli's POV (and it honestly made Nox a little more bearable.)

The storyline is keeping me interested. So we'll keep it going.
