AR and Thomas are both still very you g and this is their first “courting” so its natural there might be jealously, mistakes, and curiosity about other suitors. It was just very frustrating that AR did not confide in Thomas after she made the bargain with Mephistopheles. After everything they went through together in book 1 and 2 I felt like she should have been about to trust him and be able to play a part in her scheme.
While I am not typically into love triangles and I find them very annoying, I do think the one between AR, Thomas and Mephistopheles was played out well in this book. It gave a bit if excitement to the relationship, although it would have been better in book 2 before they “committed” to each other. Some of the time it felt like AR just wanted to see if she could trick Thomas to practice her skills, knowing full well that it would hurt him. I really didn’t like that dynamic at all. Had AR told Thomas her plan, I felt like the story could have still fallen in the same, but AR would have stayed true to her character. She always confided in Thomas in the first 2 books, and now after they made their intentions clear she decides not to? That felt wrong for her character development. Okay I feel at this point Im just ranting about the same things now.
This book was magical, and hurtful. The murders were original and beautifully done, and I can’t wait to see what AR and Thomas get themselves into in the final book!

The plot of this book was obviously amazing. There were just some aspects that annoyed me SO MUCH.
Also, can we talk about how dirty Maniscalco did Thomas in this book.
The ending of this book. Oh. My. Fucking. God. Maniscalco had no reason to put me and the characters of this book through that. I WAS LITERALLY CRYING BECAUSE I THOUGHT AUDREY ROSE OR THOMAS WAS GOING TO DIE. Literally had me so scared.
Screaming into my fucking pillow.
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE WAS SO UNEXPECTED, I STILL CANNOT GET OVER IT.
