I started this to try and squeeze one more book into July and failed. How we now I think I’m on my to another weirdly obsessive streak of these books. 

This one was not one of my favorites. I skipped a few between book 3 and this one but oh well. I still like Kira’s story the best. 

I liked a grumpy male lead. However Josie realllly irked me in the beginning. She was so mean and so cruel, literally wishing him dead. And for what? Because he’s broody and protective she thought he “hated” her? I get they got some trauma but I didn’t like her at first. Almost stopped reading it bc of that. 

Anywho, once they caved to their feelings it worked out and I liked it better. 

I liked finding the crashed ship and new girls!
