I had tons of thoughts starting this book, but I was still completely blown away by some of the things we learn. This book picks up just about where we left off with Of Glass and Lavender and it is pretty much nonstop. I love how much they are all growing, individually and as a family, and and how their relationships are strengthening as a result. Aaliyah hasn’t had an easy life and for so long didn’t have any support so to have the guys is a major change for her. However, she’s all in and just...

So I saw this book on TikTok and when I went to check before reading the first it only showed the 2 completed books. Not that there is another with a complete date out there.

This story is so engaging and riveting. So many handsome vampires, all with their own traima-the men are incredibly interesting, and Aaliyah is their perfect mate. I waited to finish this for the next book to come out ....Mind the cliffie! I cannot wait to see what will come next in this story. )

Where do I even start with this book? Everything I loved about the first book was turned up to eleven. The stakes were higher, the spice was delicious... There was just so much to absolutely love! It was so easy to get sucked back in and immerse myself in the world and the characters. Oh, and I am a complete and utter simp for all the men in Ali's harem, but especially for Prince. I love him so much, the sassy man! And it's such a testament to KR's writing that I could fall in love with all of...
