[image]Merit who became a vampire without her consent is a character people would enjoy the one thing I hated though was her constant horn-i-ness for Mr. Supernatural Leader over [image]there and I rolled my eyes whenever that was brought up. ew. gag. The whole sexual tension is so thick you can practically see it in the air between her and Mr. Man over there. I was sitting here thinking, "okay. I get it. enough..I said enough already!" I don't like being constantly reminded about how you have the hots for the guy and sit there and whine about it the whole time either. Merit is likable but there is nothing new about her. Nothing that sets her apart from the twenty other urban fantasy leading ladies out there. I was just bored for the most part.

[image]Alright Mr. Supernatural Man named Ethan. He is the leader. Thinks he can get what he wants. Well, why not, that's how it's been of hundreds of years why wouldn't it think things would change. I liked him but didn't love him. Another character that was new and moped when he didn't get what he wanted...AKA...Merit. He just wanted her to be the "cushion for his pushin'" if you know what I mean. ew. No real depth there. BORING!

I even put the book down for a while because I got bored with it. Again nothing really new. I did enjoy the world building, the extra supernaturals like, wizards/warlock, shapeshifter, witches etc. The houses which just seemed to me like different frat houses was kinda cool and I enjoyed the mystery behind the camper that was going around killing innocents. The book does leave you kinda wanting to know more but if the rest of the series is as sexually driven as this one I probably won't pick them up. I want a story.

Overall: it didn't completely suck but it for sure didn't wow me either.

Sexual Content: HEAVY
Language: heavy
Violence: moderate
Drugs/Alcohol: mild

If you haven't read book one or two well now you can just plow right through all three and trust me, you'll love every book! AH!

This series is one of the FEW contemporary books I REALLY enjoyed, usually I'll stick to fantasy or paranormal or dystopian but this somehow caught my attention and I've wanted it since I heard about it. BOOM! I know I'm rambling but this is me telling you how good it is.

[image]I love the world building and the families and the history behind it all, I loved the twists and turns of the story even though the ending was and was not surprising. However I'm still very pleased with the ending and how it's all played out.

The character development was fantastic! You've got innocent Sophie who's life has been turned upside down and she's lost, angry, confused, hurt, sad and so it's been so fun to watch her change and grow slowly which I so appreciate. Same with Luca....well he mostly stayed the same which I appreciate because guys just don't change overnight...trust me, I'm married haha Nic you see him as one way in book one and watch him change and your opinion change through out the trilogy same with Valentino and other side characters.

There is still plenty of humor and romance to go around that lightens this dark tale of revenge and mafia history between families...is it really like that? yikes!

Overall: This was a GREAT ending to the trilogy, I don't think I really have any complaints! I can't wait to see what more this author has up her sleeve!
