Felt a bit rushed I would have liked more details I just think the FMC in general like even in the main books doesn’t have much going on good or bad so a book soley about her was a risk but maybe if they showed us more things it would have been better

Cardan and Jude from a 3rd party is so crazy. Why did I forget that Jude almost choked him out?! Anyways, Taryn is almost sympathetic in this book. Almost. She still sucks though because their little secret relationship was worse than I thought. Locke needs to be set on fire.

Still hate her Taryn...

but this was very cool written and I didn't realize how much of Blacks writing I have missed since reading the first trilogy!
