this felt like a huge waste of time. 7 was supposed to be the end...then this... and now there is a book 9? while I enjoyed the beginning of the series as fun trash TV at this point I just was hoping to get cloosure. it's so over fluffed and feels really strung along. so much spice thrown in when it was unnecessary or unnatural just to make a scene R-rated. so much plot was skipped over, eluded to, or rushed. way too many POVs.
