This book was very funny and constantly surprised me! I feel for Margo and appreciate how much work effort she puts in to raise her baby boy. I think as a society we don’t realize how sex workers might be doing this work in order to make a living and raise their kid. We know they exist but I think we like to ignore it. I really liked Margo’s story though!

Once again, I cry just like I did with the first book. I still need more closure and would’ve loved to see what Autumn named the baby.
I think this portrayed mental health and what depression and trauma can do to you greatly. I just kept thinking to myself how I wouldn’t know how to deal with what Autumn went through how she did. She one of the strongest book girls I know.

Asher Donavan is now my favorite book boyfriend. He had me melting and giggling, plus I love soccer players. They are my weakness. Scarlett Dubois had my heart as I used to be a dancer growing up and her chapters made me nostalgic. This book was funny, romantic, and I thought it was quite deep when past experiences and traumas were talked about. I love the cameos from twisted series and KOS couples and thought the interactions were funny as well!
I have all good things about this book as it made my heart flutter! The reason it lost one star, hence not being five stars total was because it had a third act breakup and I was not having it 😂 I thought what happened should’ve been a deep stern conversation instead of a break up. I get why Scarlett felt the way she did but girl you lowkey doing too much.
Anyways, I can’t wait for The Defender! Vincent and Brooklyn, I am ready for y’all hehe 🫶🏽
FAVORITE QUOTES:
‘"Good." Asher's smile was as slow and languid as the want. seeping under my skin. "That's my girl."’
-Asher
‘Forget porn. This was what women wanted.’
-Scarlett
‘"Darling, if you want to call me pet, I won't stop you."’
-Asher
‘"We all have ugly feelings sometimes. It’s a part of human nature. But its what we do with with them
that counts."
-Scarlett
‘Because I didn't just love him; I was in love with him. I was so in love with him that the thought of him dying made me want to die.’
-Scarlett
‘The human brain hated ambiguity. It was designed to fill in the blanks’
-Scarlett
‘I was in love with someone who didn't love himself, and I didn't know where that left me’
-Scarlett
‘Even if there were seven hundred thousand instead of seventy thousand people here, I would've found her just as easily because a part of me would always be connected to a part of her.’
-Asher
‘The past was the past, and the future was unpredictable.
But the present? It belonged to us, and I wouldn't have it any
other way.’

It was okay. Confusing with the amount of different character chapter. I don’t like third person and it was hard to get into and follow. Also none of them were actually villains in my opinion like be more ruthless please.

This was the cutest book I have read in awhile. I was giggling, blushing, and kicking my feet constantly. Henry Turner, the man that you are hehe and Halle Jacobs, I relate to you in so many ways as the eldest daughter. You both have my heart and this has been my favorite out of all three books🥹❤️
Also i need to put it out there, Will Ellington you’re a piece of caca and gave me migraines. I can’t stand you and you are in fact, in the words of aurora, the antichrist:)

The book was soooo good! The suspense throughout the book had me on the edge of me seat and the twists and turns were insane! The ending was a little bit predictable but the story itself was amazing.
Nina scared the shit out of me in the beginning and made me wonder if I had trauma issues of my own to deal with lol
Andy is horrribleeeeeeee. Literal definition of asshole
Millie is a bad bitch honestly. Like I support women’s rights but I also support women’s wrongs lmaoooo

The plot of this book was soooooo good! Loved the concept of the greek gods turning mortal every 7 years for 7 days while they get hunted down. The plot twists, the betrayals, and the fighting was to die for as well.
I just wish there was more romance mixed in between the characters a bit more because yes I grew to love them but because of the lack of ramble I saw them more as just friends rather than friends to lovers.
