The ONLY reason this is 3 stars instead of 4 is because of how the book dragged at the end. I'm not sure but this may have been the longest book in the series so far. If it wasn't, it sure felt like it.

First let me say that I adore Rhaven. I have been rooting for her since she was introduced. She deserves all of the GOOD. The introduction of a trans character was a happy surprise and I was thrilled to read her story. I was all up in my feels. From the bullshit she had to deal with, to her coming out to her family, to the backlash and treatment of her by society.

She is a Gamer Girl who rolled with all the adversity and came out on top.

When Braden was introduced in book one he was a dick. I'm sure we all hated him immediately after the first few interactions. However he totally redeemed himself with Dez and showed that he was so excepting, caring, and loyal. I am not the least bit surprised that he and Rhaven were on the path of an HEA. However the addition of Psyhc and his bond with Rhaven fucked with my emotions. I love that Psych is straight, that he has a connection and pull to Rhaven. I want them to have an HEA. Spoiler there is some poly love in this story but it was a bit misleading.

The KoG is starting to get hella annoying. I feel like I figured out who the leader was in the first book. I swear to glob if it is who I think it is, I'm going to be pissed af.

So for the dragging. I feel like there was a chapter or two of just filler. I understand that everything in this series serves a purpose. But at the same time I got bored. It's like so much was happening then all of a sudden we were just going through the motions. With that said, I was happy to catch up with the Flawed crew and to see how the business has grown. I believe if I'm following the time line correctly it's been 4-5 years since the release of Silk.
