I really enjoyed reading this book, once I started I had a hard time putting it down. I liked the magic system and the dark academia vibe, kind of wish that was focused on more for what the other legacies could do and the classes. I also wanted more of Willow's past and the history of what happened with the witches. Some of the gaps in Willows knowledge was a little odd since her mother should have told her in order to prepare her. I am hoping the next book covers some of this stuff. The tension between Willow and Gray and the spicy scenes were good.

Cute and quick pallet cleanser read, if I had read this over the weekend I would have finished it in one sitting. I enjoyed it; the location headers were interesting and I ended up liking having that info really quick since the its a shorter book. Abby and Ben's relationship issue felt realistic to me, its something I can see happening and I know can be hard to deal with. This is a closed-door romance.

I wanted to like this book, it was giving me some of the vibes of Lights Out and Butcher and Blackbird both of which I loved, unfortunately Yours to Take fell flat for me. Overall the story felt rushed and forced, one of the big conflicts in the book didn't have an actual explanation for how it happened. The best part were the spicy scenes, but they weren't good enough and there weren't to make up for the rest of the book.

Overall I enjoyed reading this book, I did have a really hard time especially with the first few chapters with wondering what happened between the book (then) and the prologue (now)
still don’t have an answer
it really overshadowed being able to just take in the story for me. The MMC’s were both really intriguing with wanting to understand them and infuriating with their non answers to things. The FMC really felt true to her age (this was annoying at times but understandable) and her upbringing. I really enjoyed that the FMC was able to let go of the “parental” role she had taken on and be more carefree; also that she was finally able to start to learn about herself. I enjoyed the spicy scenes once they started up, the lake was an interesting one. The ending left me wanting to jump into book 2.

I really enjoyed being able to just jump right into this book after the first one. I absolutely loved Orion and Lilah's relationship! I liked seeing a little more of Finn and Jett's unhinged personalities and how they fit with Lilah. I wanted more of Hunter and I was still very meh about Atlas. Part 2 has so much growth for Lilah, Orion, Jett, and Atlas. Hunter does have some but not as much as those 4 and Finn I felt like didn't really change much other than no longer wanting to sleep around. I enjoyed all the spice in this book, I think my favorite was the sauna scene. Overall enjoyable omegaverse read.

"You’re a kickass team leader, and there’s no one I trust more to have my back on a mission. But when it comes to the pack, you have the emotional intelligence of a fucking gummy bear. "

So happy I was able to jump right into the 2nd part of the duology after that ending :(. I enjoyed seeing the relationship dynamic evolve between Orion and Lilah.
I was a little confused that Orion didn't know she was a scent match before she went into heat tho since he is also an Omega.
I loved that Finn also started noticeably changing around Lilah before he knew what she was to the pack.

This was almost a DNF for me, I was very bored through out the book. I didn't feel like there was a proper back story for the characters, sure there was a little more with the FMC but it felt very scattered making it hard to put together. Disappointing since I really enjoyed The Last One by Will Dean, I suppose at least I read that first so I know its possible to enjoy his books.

I really enjoyed reading this book much more than Hooked! I liked how Tristan and Sara's relationship developed; the spicy scenes they had were great. I did find it interesting that for both Tristan and Sara being very smart and seem to pick up on things easily, they both somehow missed being played by other characters. Overall I had high expectations for this book due to consistently hearing that it is peoples favorite of the series, I am happy that it seems to have lived up to that praise.

Some of the concepts in this book reminded me of a short story I read last year (The Ghost Writer by Loreth Anne White); I enjoyed this one a lot more since it was able to go into more detail and have more depth. I was able to guess some of the twists but not all of them which was nice. All the secrets in this book made it interesting, though I do wish Kit thought things through more when trying to address things. I will definitely continue to look forward to reading Riley Sager's work.

Lots of almost crying parts in this book. I loved Melody and Parker’s relationship development and both of their healing journeys in this book. The story had me hooked and flying through it.
