I think this is the best romance I've ever read. The character development is so good. They all feel like real, traumatized, broken, flawed, wonderful, beautiful people. Penelope Douglas could teach a master class on character work in romance. You understand fully everyone's background and their motivations and behavior align and make perfect sense with what we know about their history, thoughts, and feelings. Damon is arguably the most problematic character in this series but I rooted for him so hard. The continuity of what happens on Devil's Night and the previous two books is good too. It is also setting up Will's upcoming story so wonderfully by illustrating his friendship with Damon. I just can't say enough good things about this book.
