As an adult who took Latin during high school:
Yeah. This made me have some full circle feelings, from a teen who read the myth as a student and feeling so connected to these characters and now reading this book as an adult, understanding why I felt connected to them. 

And finally: 
That’s gore, that’s gore of my comfort character.

This was one of the fastest, slow paced books I’ve read. I don’t feel the connection between June and Ivy and kinda expected a bit more of a developing relationship before they started dating. I’m a wee bit saddened, but the end HELD ME IN A CHOKEHOLD (last 1/4 was my fav part by far, Jennifer Dugan knows how to write absolutely devastating scenes)

There’s so many plot twists in this book, it feels like I’m coming in and out of a coma. How the fuck are there 9 of these books when reading this ONE book took such a long time.

Sincerely, really, truly, I don’t think I’ve read a book that made me feel so fucking gagged that I felt sick. Tasha Suri, let it be known, right now, you have made me SICK, I am DYING OF ANTICIPATION AND HEARTBREAK, HOW DARE YOU. 
I will say, this book did drag on a bit for me, I think it was partly because of how busy I got and wanting the book to just kick up, but, since it’s summer, and I have the time, I was able to pick the book back up and finish it, and THANK GOD I DID BECAUSE OH MY LORD DID IT KICK UP THE ACTION.
