Sooo honored to get a copy of this book! Love being a Beta Reader! This book was amazing! No spoilers! But Declan better be the ONE #teamdeclan! And loved the pace not a slow burn!

[Booze Boobs Books · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely loved this! I’m so addicted to this series and especially our girl Dani. I have absolutely loved watching her grow into herself more and more with every book. She’s such a fantastic character and I absolutely love her in this story. I can’t wait for more (even though I know I’ll have to!)

[Stephanie Manzano · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't want to spoil the book in my review so I'll try my best. This was the third book of the series and it flowed perfectly from the cliffhanger of the second book. The cliffhanger was intense so it felt good to be able to read the next book. Dani is continuing to have such a great character development and continuing to find herself and what she wants at this time of her life. She is dealing with new issues and a new life she didn't expect to have. The dynamic between her and other characters like Declan and Auden are perfectly done. The intensity and longing between her and Declan drive me crazy and I love it. Auden is such an interesting, likable character. He's so different from other men in her life except that he's completely drawn to her. The story progresses nicely with emotions, decisions and further into the mystery of who is the one for her at the end, even though I know who she must be with obviously 🫣 The ending scenes left me feeling warm and the last line left me speechless. Well done Serena, now I'm impatiently waiting for the next book, THE ONE!!

[Cari · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received this as an early read, & Serena surely did it again!!!! I could not put this down but I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed from the first 3 books in this series. Dani is dealing with the grief of her fiancé’s death and just trying to get back to her everyday life and trying to stay sober. And as usual Declan is there to pick up the pieces or at least try and trying to keep her safe even if she is unaware of him doing so. I love seeing Dani going to therapy and getting somewhere with all her past traumas. Auden has no idea what he is getting into with these 2 🤭 I will say if your jaw doesn’t drop when you read the last few chapters

Serena surely knows how to leave you on a cliffhanger when it comes to this series!!!! I can not wait to see who Dani actually ends up with in The One. I know I am #TeamDeclan for sure!!!!

[Skye Catriona · Rating 5 out of 5]

"The Reporter" destroyed me in the best way possible! Dani's grief journey felt so raw and real, and watching her heal while navigating her feelings for both Auden and Declan had me completely hooked.
Auden is perfection - that British charm mixed with genuine care for Dani's wellbeing made me swoon constantly. The workplace romance was beautifully done, and their chemistry is off the charts.
The emotional depth in this book is unmatched. The author doesn't sugarcoat the messy parts of healing, making Dani's growth feel authentic and earned.
That birthday scene? HOLY WOW. Sexy and emotionally devastating in all the right ways.
This series keeps getting better with each book. The writing is gorgeous, the character development is flawless, and I'm completely obsessed with Dani's journey.
Need "The One" immediately! This book owns my soul!

[Cassie B · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you Serena for allowing me be part of your ARC team! This series is so good! This one is my favorite of them all. I’m happy to see Dani getting what she needs. I have not been through anything Dani has experienced but she is so relatable! I also am obsessed with Declan!!! He is my favorite part. I hope he is “the one”. I hope the next book gives us all the answers we need! The last couple chapters had me BLUSHING 🤭🤭

✨ARC review✨


Who’s supposed to wait until next part???
WHO??? 😭😭😭😭

All I want is someone like Declan to whisper his three little words to me.
Declan is my man, my safe place. 🌈

Right from the start you ask yourself:

“How much pain can a person actually take?”

And Dani?
Dani runs the world.
She holds the story in her hands.
But Declan—he shows her what it feels like to be someone’s everything.
To finally know you are someone’s whole world. 🥹

Yes, he has his demons, his daddy issues… 😭😭
But somehow, he’s still the one worth breaking for—and healing with. ✨

“Take it like a good girl. All of it.” he tells her.

And after? He pulls her close, holds her tight—like she’s the most precious thing he’ll ever have. 🫶

Then comes Auden.
BEST FRIEND EVER!!! 💥
The kind of friend who gives Dani what she never had before: unconditional support, true companionship.

Now Dani is finally living her best life.
After all the mess left behind, she’s become the best version of herself. ✨

—
“Ti amo, tesoro.”
“Ti amo, stalker.”
—

👑 Princess treatment
🤍 Dreamed-of love
✨ The strongest story

I love this book. And I’ll love it forever.

And honestly—sorry to the author 🙈, because I know I’m not focused enough on Dani’s boys… but Declan was my number one from the very beginning.
And now, with this whole princess treatment moment, he has officially claimed his spot. 😂😂👑

👉 And since this is The Reporter, and Auden dreams of writing a book… I can’t help but guess that Book 4 might just be his story. If it continues from the way this one ended, I think we can already imagine the direction it might take—
and I’m not ready. 🥹✨

👉 If you know, you know.
And if you don’t… just wait until 2026 with me 😭✨

🌸 Out on 04 Sept 25 ❗❗❗❗❗❗

[Manuela · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a rollercoaster of a book! I loved the journey for Dani of finding herself and finally putting herself first for once. After "The Client" you can't help but feel Dani's heartbreak and want the best for her as she is processing her grief and trying to become the best version of herself.
I loved the dynamic between Dani and Declan (team Declan ALLLLL day!) and Auden.
Serena just has a way of making you want to know more of each character and how it's all connected.

The ending left me with my jaw DROPPED. I truly cannot wait for "The One."

[Alyssa Hoff · Rating 5 out of 5]

Addicting, Spicy, & Satisfying😍🌶️😌

This is book 4 in the SAGA series & wow did it not disappoint! Each book in this series gets better & better with this one being the best yet.🌟

We got major quality time with my beloved Daddy D in this book which by itself would have made this book a 5 star read for me but it also had a lot of plot going on as well which kept me guessing what was going to happen next. I also loved watching Dani continue her trauma-filled journey. Serena always makes me fall in love (or hate) with her characters which only draws me in more. I always feel like I am watching a TV show rife with drama when I read these books which keeps me frantically flipping the pages.📖

There are definitely still some unanswered questions, including who will be the one, which have me anxiously awaiting the 5th & final book in this series: The One.⁉️♥️

[Crystal Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Whew…what an emotional journey this one was! Book 2 ended with a bang and now Dani is drowning, literally with alcohol, in grief at the loss of her fiancé. The emotions are so raw and real, you can feel them as you read along.

I love Declan! He is there for Dani to help put her back together when she needs him. And when she pushes him away so she can properly heal and get sober, he steps back, even though he still keeps security on her. He hates not having contact with her, but he gives her the space she asks for. This man loves and worships the ground she walks on. Can he be anymore perfect? I think not!

Andddd….Auden! Where in the world does Dani keep finding these men? In walks this sexy British man that’s already in a situation relationship with others already, but becomes very close to Dani.

Dani’s growth in this book is amazing! I am so proud of her. I love that she declares herself a “self-imposed nun” because she knows that she uses sex as a crutch just like she did alcohol. But she is finding herself and setting boundaries!!

Nooooow…the buildup…Declan has waited 7 years for this woman and when he finally has her…whew!!!! The spice…it was hot! It was electric! These two have chemistry and it was spicy. And then when “daddy” decided he was gonna let share…I did not see that coming, that was hot too! I can’t wait for the next book!!

Coming soon book 4 SAGA series THE ONE!!

In book 3 we get to know Auden and his “alternative lifestyle “. We also get to know Daddy Declan on a much deeper level, while his relationship with Dani progresses.
Dani overcomes many obstacles in this book and grows so much as a person. Getting over her past, moving on from her past relationships and the trauma they left behind. Coming to terms with her dad’s addiction, and learning about his recovery while focusing on her own sobriety.
One of my favorite micro tropes is included in this book, he gives her a nickname. Declan gives Dani the nickname “tesoro” means Treasure in Italian. He calls her this because she is his treasure❤️

[Lauren Sabolcik · Rating 5 out of 5]

5⭐ | 4.5🌶️
The Reporter (Book 3 in the SAGA Series) is another captivating chapter in Dani Sommer’s story. Fair warning: if you haven’t read the prequel or Books 1 and 2, you’ll want to catch up first. This series is very much a journey, and Dani’s arc won’t hit the same without the foundation laid earlier.
At the end of Book 2, Serena Pier tossed us a grenade and then made us wait for the fallout… absolutely diabolical 😉. The Reporter picks up with Dani at a crossroads, with the devotion and support of the one and only Declan, she works to reclaim herself and figure out who she truly is. After years of moving from one relationship to the next—each one leaving scars—this book is all about Dani’s healing, growth, and rediscovery. It’s raw, emotional, and so inspiring to watch her refuse to let her past dictate her future.
Dani jokingly calls herself a “self-imposed nun,” focusing all her energy into relearning who she is and rebuilding who she wants to be… until she isn’t. The build-up to spice is pure delicious angst and yearning. And when the spice finally hits - exquisite. The tension makes every moment worth it.
And then there’s Declan. Oh. This. Man. Tattooed, brilliant, with a complicated past (swoon), he radiates patience and quiet strength. His complete dedication to Dani is the stuff of fairy tales—but not the perfect, sanitized kind. He’s flawed, scarred, and real, but his attention to detail and unwavering devotion? Absolutely swoon-worthy. For seven years—seven f*cking years—he stood by her side, supporting her in whatever way she needed. His willpower, restraint, and determination are on another level entirely. Declan is the kind of book boyfriend who ruins you for all others.
The Reporter is emotional, tender, sexy, and deeply satisfying. Dani’s healing journey broke my heart and put it right back together, while Declan had me swooning, sighing, and reaching for the air conditioning.
Massive thanks to Serena Pier for the ARC! 💜 If you haven’t picked up the rest of the SAGA Series—or her High Five Novellas for that matter—you need to get on it ASAP. And be sure to check out my other reviews for more in the Pier-verse. You’re welcome 😉😜

“You and Kate … It’s a hot mental image,” he says with a little smirk.
“Well, add Sorin into that mental image.”
“Now it’s ruined,” he says, his face tensing. Declan shifts to sitting on the bed next to me, then bites his thumbnail.

📢📢If you've not read any of the previous books, do not go any farther!📢📢

This book begins 8 weeks after Gideon's murder, and Dani is spiraling with alcohol so badly that Declan finally follows her to Bali to bring her home. The first 30% of this book will have you reeling from Dani's healing journey...especially when you find out she relapsed with Adam. 🤮 But, we're all young & dumb once, right? Overall, her growth was so monumental in this installation of her story. The last 1/2 was so positive and 🥵 that I'm totally scared as to what Serena is going to do to us in the next one. You know she's going to bring the trauma!

As he has done for the past 7 years, Declan is ever present and gives Dani what she needs even when she doesn't know it herself. I love that he respected her when she asked to go no contact during her therapy journey as she needed to focus on herself. She's able to acknowledge that she loves him, and probably always has, but she needs to grow still. I've said this since The Renter, and I'll keep saying it...I AM 100% #teamdeclan ALL THE WAY! If he is not The One, I may lose it!

Auden is definitely an interesting character. He has been in her orbit, professionally, for a few years and part of a polycule in his personal life. Dani is definitely curious about that life but is happy to have such a good friend in him. I absolutely adored that he respected the relationship she has with Declan while acknowledging their burgeoning attraction. He's also completely honest in that he doesn't want marriage, kids, etc.

Thank you SO SO SO much for giving me this ARC, Serena! How much is your bribery fee to get The One right meow?!

[Patty · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Dani has really grown in this book. She starts getting her life together in this book and it is a wonderful thing. But make no mistake it starts off with her in a downward spiral. This book focuses on her struggles and path to healing.

I really liked this book. It has a bit of mystery to as things with G's death are not what they seem. What really happened? Who is behind it and why? We get clues in this book as to what is really going on so I suspect it will come to head in the next book "The One".

I really love reading how Declan and Dani's relationship starts to develop. I also like Auden and his chemistry with her. We learn a lot about him and his chosen lifestyle. I believe that he grows and changes in this book as well. But I fear he is in for some heartbreak.

Overall this book is a healing story. Full of dark pasts coming to light. It is sad, yet inspiring. There are many triggers in this story. Triggers like drug use, addiction, abuse and such. There are some highly detailed sexual scenes that are not made for vanilla readers. So just be prepared. This book must be read in the order in which the series is written, as it is not a standalone read. This is not a cutesy romance series, but a dark and rough one. It focuses on addictions of many types and the struggles that come with them.

I can't wait to see how everything comes to an end.

[Fallon Owens · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the 3rd book in The Saga Series and it picks up perfectly where we were left with a cliffhanger! I have to leave a limited review because I don’t want to give spoilers!! But; oh my; did Dani grow so much in this book! So much that it made you so proud (you know we are all rooting for her and it feels like we “know her know her” by now lol 😂)!! After life threw a complete curveball at her and curveballs keep coming!!
Dani is finally putting herself first and she is finally getting what she needs and taking care of those “wants”!! 😘
The spice in this book is amped up at times and when I say amped up….I mean amped up! I caught myself blushing at times! And I felt dirty at times; and not that bad kind of dirty…the good kind!! 😈🌶️🖤 Every time my kids came around; I was literally hiding my book and shutting my kindle off lol!! 😂
Dani….The Reporter….Declan…. 🔥🔥🔥
There’s also mentions of Sleep Token; which makes me love Serena Pier that much more!! 🖤🙌🏻
Of course, like always; you will be left on another cliffhanger and you’ll be saying, “Uh-Oh”!! 😳
This book is addicting just like the whole series!! Serena outdid herself, again; which I should’ve known!! 🙌🏻♥️
If Declan is not “The One” in the next book; I may scream!! I am #TeamDeclan all the way after this book!!

"Ti amo, tesoro." ♥️
"Ti amo, stalker."🖤

Dani Sommer has had a rough time lately, with her recent engagement coming to an abrupt end, she now is the owner of her late fiance’s company, fortune, and the home they were planning to share. She is trying to get back to her normal everyday life, as well as stay sober.

Declan is of course there to help pick up the pieces of Dani after her fiance's death, but Declan is still keeping secrets from Dani. These secrets include him having security follow her everywhere she goes, but also information about both businessmen she’s dated recently.

Dani becomes close with Auden, a British commercial real estate reporter, who is very into her, but also wants her to be safe after watching her with so many rich and powerful businessmen. He wants to show her his lifestyle, which is completely new to her. He really cares for Dani and her wellbeing.

I am so invested in this series. I have been since I picked up The Renter a little under a year ago, and Serena has yet to not surprise me with how this series continues. Serena has a way of making you feel exactly how the characters are feeling. I felt like I was either cheering Dani on with every decision or wanting to yell at her for making (what I believed) would be the wrong one.

I truly have yet to find another series that pulls me in as much as this series has. I cannot wait to see what happens with The One.

[KC · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short chapters 🙌🏻 Fantastic pacing 🙌🏻 And did I mention it’s available on Kindle Unlimited? Oh, and it releases Sept 4th, mark your calendars!!

We love a queen, and Dani is that queen 👑. Watching her growth throughout this series is honestly inspiring, you see her transformation and it’s so rewarding.

This one follows Dani, Declan, and Auden:
✨ Declan = the protective MMC of your dreams (!!!)
✨ Auden = the gentle, grounding support Dani truly needed

There’s so much I want to say, but no spoilers here… just trust me: READ THIS SERIES. You won’t regret it.

⚠️ Important: this series does need to be read in order. The SAGA series follows Dani through her early to late 20s.. navigating love, heartbreak, messy choices, growth, and eventually, her HEA in The One (coming fall 2026… HOW are we supposed to wait that long!?! 😭).

Think:
💫 Billionaire romance
💫 Slow burn
💫 Age gap romance (The Townie, Books 1 & 2)
💫 Small town girl to big city
💫 Badass FMC
💫 Coming of age

Series order (for your TBR, thank me later 😉):
The Townie (prequel)
The Renter (Book 1)
The Client (Book 2)
The Reporter (Book 3)
The One (Book 4; fall 2026 😭)

[Serena Buss · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is definitely my favorite book so far in this series!! I love this book so much! The Reporter is the fourth book in the SAGA series. Dani's story gets better in each book, and this one is the best version of herself! She finally chose to better herself for herself instead for a man.
The Reporter has three POVs: Dani, Auden(The Reporter), and Declan. I really loved reading Declan's POV! I loved him in the first three books, and now I really love Declan! I love that Dani and Declan are friends with Auden. They encouraged Auden to better himself and do things that make him happy.
I love the relationships between Dani, Declan, and Auden! There's still so many questions I have unanswered from the events in this book, but I'm sure it'll be answered in the last book, The One!
I also love that a few characters from High Five Novella series were mentioned in this book. I like how these characters are interconnected in some way.
I love Dani's story and can't wait to read The One next year!! 5⭐ 4 🌶️
Thank you Serena for including me as an ARC reader!!

[Ashley Dudley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great book in the saga series!! So grateful I had the chance to read this ARC.


In this book, we follow Dani as she navigates the crushing grief of losing her fiancé. Overwhelmed by pain, she turns to alcohol to cope, shutting herself off from the world and neglecting her own well-being. Her desperate need for answers about Gideon’s death only deepens her struggle.


Amid her darkness, two people stick by her side to support her. Auden, a reporter she’s worked with for years, who challenges her perspective and helps her see things differently, and Declan, the steadfast presence who always seems to arrive like a knight in shining armor.

Dani’s journey is raw and heartbreaking, but also powerful. We see her wrestle with old battles, including her sobriety, while finding the courage to care for herself and open her heart again. With Declan’s unwavering support, she pushes toward becoming a stronger, truer version of herself.

Serena does a cliff hanger so well, and this one was certainly spicy 🥵Can’t wait for The One to come out and see how Dani’s story continues!

[Chelsey Ulrich · Rating 4 out of 5]

ARC REVIEW! This one is the 4th in the SAGA series (technically the 3rd, but there's definitely a prequel to the series that needs to be read first). LOVE THIS SERIES. I always say - this is not for everyone though. You don't get your HEA ending (yet). These books are toxic, heavy and SO MUCH going on, but oh so good.
Dani is the FMC we have been following throughout these books and so much has happened to her in the last 2 years and she's really struggling with grief and not handling it in the best way. She ends up meeting Auden - he's a reporter and she has been working with him for awhile, but they finally meet. They end up becoming close friends and start spending a lot of time together. Auden makes her think about things she's never really thought about before. But there's also Declan - who is one of her really good friends, but she's also been in love with him. He's refused to be with her because it's the wrong time and he also won't be with her until she's sober.

[Mary Lohorn · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m completely obsessed and invested in this entire series! It’s definitely an entertaining read that’ll keep you wanting more. Dani is trying to get her life back on track after losing her fiancé and relapsing. She makes new friends and connections in this book and of course Declan is here for her to try and pick the pieces back up. Auden is a very interesting and intelligent guy but he just isn’t “the one” for Dani! This book is definitely filled with some spicy scenes and I’m here for it! Dani has endured so much pain and trauma throughout this entire series and it’s made her into the strong and independent woman she is. Shes had so much character growth and I’ve definitely enjoyed seeing all the business side to her character. I wanna be Dani when I grow up. Oops I’m already grown. 🤭 I CANNOT WAIT to see who THE ONE! Will be. I’ve been #TEAMDECLAN from the beginning and I’m hoping he’s “The One” fingers crossed 🤞 💕

ARC Review:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Reporter by Serena Pier is nothing short of a masterpiece—an electrifying blend of razor-sharp suspense, raw emotion, and unforgettable storytelling that left me completely breathless. From the very first page, Pier drags you into a whirlwind of secrets, ambition, and danger, refusing to let go until the final, heart-stopping twist that redefines everything you thought you knew. The characters pulse with authenticity, the pacing is flawlessly relentless, and the prose is so cinematic you feel as if you’re living inside the story rather than reading it. This isn’t just a book—it’s an experience, a consuming ride of adrenaline and vulnerability that sets a new gold standard for the genre. If I could give it more than six stars, I would, because The Reporter doesn’t just raise the bar—it shatters it.

[Reading In the Red Room · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! I said it before and I will say it again…this series is a journey. A wonderful journey about Dani. Dani has seen happiness, she has seen great pain and she has the emotional scars to prove it. This series is her journey through adulthood and tells a story of the people she meets on the way. Especially the men. The men who help mold her into who she is and who she will eventually become. This book picks up with her being devastated by the loss of her fiancee. She starts down an ugly spiral. Of course Declan is there to help pick up the pieces. Their relationship is an extremely complicated one. One of secrets from the past and hope of a future…can they figure that all out together?! Is she emotionally ready? Then there is Auden he is intriguing and another great piece to this amazing puzzle. This is a fast paced page turner and a perfect addition to this amazingly detailed series. Each book opens up another level to Dani and the complex life, she is living. Each character has more depth and is more intense than the last. Each book ends in a cliffhanger that has you begging for more. If you have not started this series yet…do yourself a favor and do so NOW!! The next book in the series is the last and I seriously Can’t wait to get my hands on it!! I need to know where the next step in Dani’s journey takes her.

♾️ ⭐️

This series has taken me on a roller coaster of emotions, but this book? This book right here?! Let me tell you, it is my FAVORITE so far!

I love seeing a strong FMC overcome all that crap life has dealt her and Dani does it in this book! The growth this woman has is phenomenal! She’s such a badass, but so relatable.

And then there’s Declan - ahh, this man is it for me. If ever there was a man that is perfect for Dani, it’s Declan. The way he ‘treasures’ her and would do anything for her - even something he’s never done before? 🥰

The ending of this book left me needing more - I need that next book like I need air to fill my lungs. I need to know how things progress for Dani - and I need to know if who I think (and hope) is the one, actually is.

Thank you, Serena Pier, for allowing me to read this ARC. You have quickly become one of my favorite authors!

[Katieandgroot · Rating 4 out of 5]

I recieved this book as an ARC this is my free and honest review. I really love how this series depicts adiction, ptsd, mentel health and therapy. It really shows that it is a journey and not a one and done fix. And that even actions that have positive outcomes (hyper focus and iver working) can be symptoms of something bigger. I also like how this highlights the importance of a good support system. Now into the juicy parts. Dani is going through a tough time and is recognizing patterns she has used to avoid feeling her feelings. I like that she takes a break from using sex as a crutch. This book is more of a slow burn then the others, as she is coping with loss and guilt over the ending of the previous book. We definitely still get the steam of the previous books but we just have to wait for them, and good things come to those that wait.

I received this book as an ARC

Another amazing read following Dani’s life! The Reporter takes you into the next phase of Dani Sommer’s journey, and it’s one full of personal growth, resilience, and determination. I loved seeing her tackle her sobriety journey while still holding strong to her girl boss energy.

Told through three POVs, this story gives such a well-rounded view of where Dani is headed and the challenges she’s overcoming. Serena Pier does a beautiful job of showing not just Dani’s struggles, but also her strength and evolution.

If you haven’t yet, you must read The Renter and The Client first to really experience the full impact of this series. The Dani Sommer Saga just keeps getting better, and I absolutely cannot wait to see who Dani’s HEA will be in The One!

Highly recommend starting this series today—you won’t regret it!

[Kristyn Machado · Rating 5 out of 5]

Auden so open minded and free spirited, Declan ever devoted and so reliable.

Our Fourth book in the Saga series very well may be my favorite!

I absolutely loved loved loved this book. I don't want to give too much away but it features POVs from both Declan and Auden, and of course our main girl Dani. I loved getting a deeper look into Auden's life and inside his head. The growth from Dani in this book was major. It's definitely a tear jerker in so many different ways!
I can't recommend this series enough. Watching and going through life, this whole journey with Dani has been spectacular. I can't believe there is only one more book in this series! The spice in this one hit! It was absolutely perfection for these characters
I absolutely recommend this book, this whole series!

I had the pleasure of receiving this as an e-ARC and will voluntarily be giving my honest review. First off OMG!! This is book 3 in the series and i loved loved this book!! I felt i was in the story right there with them felt all the ups and downs of this book!! The chemistry that Dani and Declan have is unbelievable!! I am team Declan all the way!! I hope in the next book we find out who is the true One and who outed Gideon! The spice in this book was amazing!! Chef’s kiss to Author Serena Pier she did it again!!

Wow. Just wow. The Reporter by Serena Pier almost had me throwing my Kindle across the room (in the best way possible). The twists, the tension, the emotions — I was completely hooked and couldn’t stop reading.

I love how this series keeps raising the stakes while still making me care so much about the characters. Serena Pier really knows how to keep readers on edge, and I felt every single reveal in my bones.

I seriously cannot wait for The One, the final book in the SAGA series, coming next year. I just know it’s going to be explosive, and I’m crossing all my fingers and toes for an ARC.

If you haven’t started this series yet, what are you even doing? Go read it so we can scream about it together!

Holy. Shit.
This book absolutely destroyed me in the best way possible. Easily another 5-star read and I am officially way too deep into this saga to ever recover.

So much happened in this book — twists I never saw coming, emotions I was NOT prepared for, and moments that had me swooning like an unhinged romantic. Serena Pier really said “no peace, only chaos” and I loved every second of it.

I genuinely did not imagine the story going where it went, and now I’m sitting here obsessed and desperate for the next book. This series owns me at this point.

And respectfully… Lilia can F all the way off. 😌

If you’re not reading this saga yet, what are you even doing?
