This book did a phenomenal job wrapping up The Naturals series. Everything was so well thought out and I can't sing Jennifer Lynn Barnes' praises enough. I'm happy I still have a novella, but I'm going to miss this crew.

I don’t really know how to feel about this one. In some ways it was very relatable to my own teenage years, but sometimes I wasn’t sure that it was understood just how deeply insecure Eleanor was. I think it would have been a good book for me to read when I was younger

  • Setting
  • Ari
  • Josh’s character arc
things I didn’t like:
  • I just felt like the romance or reason why these characters liked each other wasn’t the strongest.

Best of the series so far. Everything about this book is perfect. I loved getting to know Sloane and Judd more and really seeing their family unit come together
the ending had me SCREAMING HER MOM IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!

I feel like I need to go back and listen to how we ended up at this particular ending. Lauren Roberts keeping us all on our toes

So much excitement and adventure from just the first book? I can’t wait to read the rest of this series. I fell in love with these characters so fast and I know it’s going to be the death of me.

I don’t feel comfortable giving this book any stars because I didn’t really pay attention

I didn’t like this book as much as I normally like Ali Hazelwoods books (which isn’t saying much because I do still love love love her writing more than most). I just didn’t feel the romance as much in this one, but otherwise I liked everything else outside of that (especially the twist, really didn’t see
Serena being a werewolf
coming).

It took me awhile to get into this book, but I’m super curious about how things will shake out after this. Rohan’s POV is kind of boring IMO, but I get why we need it
if it’s how we stay up to date on Savannah’s plan
. I also didn’t need a romance plot for each POV. Very excited for the next one!

I might have liked this more if I didn’t listen because I really don’t understand the Gods part of this book. But the romance is like stomp on your heart good. Also LOVED the narrator for Iris she was so funny. I love the way Iris is in love with Roman but also absolutely incredulous about anything he does
