This book damn near gave me a heart attack! Tory is a little annoying in the book but at this point I’m starting to accept that Fae way so it’s a little easier to like the other characters now. I love the snowball fight scene and Xavier has quickly become a favorite of mine! The whole time there were talking about getting Clara I was like ???? this seems like a huge ass trap like why is everyone okay with risking their lives for something that’s clearly not Orion’s sister? Also, I love Gabriel. He’s my everything and I would die for him. I was not mad at Tory’s decision to reject the mating bond at all, heartbroken? Yes. But not mad at her. She had all the reasons and it was her choice and I don’t feel sorry for Darius for her rejecting him. I do feel bad that they’re now cursed to never find love but it seems ridiculous that the stars give them their Divine Moment so soon when it’s clear Orion and Darcy are Elysian Mates too and they haven’t had their moment. I’m so glad to have these books out now and have Kindle Unlimited because if I had to wait to find out if Orion lived, I might have actually died.
