Seduction

Curse of the Gods #3

by Jaymin Eve, Jane Washington

Willa Knight: Dweller? Sol? Accidental evolutionary hiccup?

Willa has never been a particularly useful dweller: she isn’t very good at chores, she isn’t very good at worshipping, she isn’t very good at not having opinions, and she isn’t very good with rules—but none of that matters anymore.
The rules are changing.
The dwellers are trying to make their own way in the world, and Willa can’t seem to help getting tangled up in their plans.
Luckily, she has the Abcurse brothers to help her out—until she doesn’t, and suddenly she’s alone again in a world on the brink of chaos. With the Abcurses gone, she’ll have to rely on her wits, and her sister Emmy, to stay under the radar and survive.
Because someone wants her dead.

But, really, what else is new?

[Helen 2.0 · Rating 3 out of 5]

This series is like a fungus:
-it's a little bit funky.
-it develops in weird ways.
-and if you're not careful, it grows on you like crazy.

Seduction is the third book in the Curse of the Gods series and the best yet. Jaymin Eve's fast-paced crazy/hilarious plot and Jane Washington's obsess-worthy relationships finally come together perfectly. Where in the first two books the romance felt rushed and the story felt chaotic, in Seduction everything somehow clicked into place.

My new favorite is Rome. I'm a sucker for the gruff outside, sweetheart inside trope. I picture him as the model Gui Fedrizzi.

Yes please! :)

5 out of 5 stars⭐️

"What I actually said was that you are ours. I've claimed ownership of you, Willa Knight."

I AM DEAD RIGHT NOW!!! I’ve died and gone to heaven😍!!! This was an emotional ride for me and I loved every second of it. The love between Willa and her boys have stepped up to the next level in this installment, it was just so damn cute, adorable and sexy🔥!

Now for the review😊, this book was definitely more on character development and how Willa has a much bigger role with the Gods then she anticipated. You also get to see the plot moving along quiet well, along with finding out how Staviti became the creator.

While I was reading, so many questions started popping out like “Who the hell is Willa’s father?! How did he get inside Topia so that Willa can drink the water?! And what kind of being is she?!” I have so many questions right now but I know it’ll all be answered once the last two books get released😭!! I hope it won’t be too long (please book gods)🙏🏼

Overall, I REALLY enjoyed this book. I’m still debating on whether I like this book more than Persuasion (that’s saying a lot!). Persuasion dealt with the political aspect, while Seduction was more character driven. For now, I’m gonna have to reread all three books again to determine which one I like the best, but right now I’d say their all pretty even on my scale😊.

I swear, the books just keep getting better and better with each installment in my opinion! And I hope the authors will continue to exceed my expectations even more now😃!!

***********************************************

Update 9/12/2017: WHY IS NOVEMBER 30TH SO FAR AWAY!!!😭😭

Update: I LOVE the dress Willa has on for this cover... but for some reason I imagine her tripping on it and fall straight on her face😂

IM SO EXCITED TO READ THIS NEXT INSTALLMENT!!! I have very high hopes for this series ❤️

GUYS I'M UPDATING 'CUZ GOODREADS ATE MY REVIEW. It was just a gif I don't know why they hid it.

♥♥ORIGINAL♥♥♥
I can't write a coherent review because I'm like this:

[Lucie V. · Rating 5 out of 5]

✅ Mythology and gods
✅ Funny banter
✅ Hilarious main character
✅ Sexy and funny harem
✅ Action
✅ Reverse-harem / Sexual tension
✅ Some smut (but not nearly enough)
✅ Cyrus
🆗 Willa spends time apart from the guys ☹

I apologize in advance for the 732854 quotes, I just couldn’t pick and choose. I am enjoying this re-read so much! 😂

Born of Chaos. It was an odd way to phrase it, but I guess in a way she was right. Unknown father. Absent, mess of a mother. My life had never been calm, it had always been chaos. Emmy had joined that chaos because her perfectly normal life had been pulled apart by death, but she was not born of chaos like me—for her, it was simply a by-product of being close to me.

Poor Willa can’t catch a break. She needs to learn how to deal with her chaotic new powers, while also evading a few attempts on her life, and trying to figure out why the Gods are so interested in her. The Abcurses are trying their best to help her and keep her alive, but they also need to go back to Topia for their trial, since they killed someone at the end of Persuasion, even though they were not allowed to kill Sols anymore.

The first half of the book was a little slow, not because nothing happens, but because Willa is separated from her guys for a while, and I don’t like when the MCs get separated. I almost took away half a star for that, but overall, I just enjoy this series SO MUCH. It is definitely a guilty pleasure, so I will stick with my 5 stars.

This book was a little more focused on character development, but don't worry, Willa is still a walking disaster. She realizes though that she is more important than she thought and we also get to learn more about the gods and Staviti, the Creator. Things are starting to fall into place, and we can kind of see the bigger picture now. The stakes are getting higher, and Willa’s place in it all is becoming clearer too, although it’s still not 100% clear what she is.

“Your Chaos is a force to be feared, Soldier. Only you would end up in a bather with a Neutral god completely by accident.”

After the “shocking” revelation at the end of the second book (ok, it was not that shocking at all now that we think about it, I kind of saw it coming, but still…), Willa is trying to figure out how to use and control her unreliable powers. So far, all she seems to be able to do is set things on fire, and make clothing disappear, so not much has changed for her, she’s still a walking disaster involved in way too many half-undressed moments.

Based on my past records, I would have thought it obvious that I was the one behind Operation Bare Ass. It was pretty much what I was known for—but nobody came looking for me.


“You … you two need pants,” I finally choked out. My voice sounded a little high and strained.
“We had pants,” Yael drawled. “They disappeared.”


“Maybe we should just let her get naked,” Rome said quietly. “It seems to make her feel better.”

The nakedness. It’s become a running gag at that point, but it still makes me smile every dam time. I wish I had Willa’s confidence to just stroll around half-naked and own it. On the other hand, it is funny to see how shocked and uneasy she is when it’s the people around her getting naked because of her chaotic powers, but it also added even more sexual tension because of course she managed to vanish the Abcurses’ clothes once or twice and got an eyeful while doing it.

Cyrus was a beat too slow to catch me, since he’d had his head back laughing when I tripped, but he noticed just in time to step into me. Which meant that instead of my head slamming into the hard rocks, it crashed right into his crotch. He let out a bit of a yelping groan, before both of us went down in a heap.


I crossed my arms over my chest, finally realising how little I was wearing. Sure, underwear was actually better than my usual bouts of nudity, but I was still pretty skimpily dressed. Alone. With the Neutral God whose Neutral Dick had been briefly having non-neutral feelings.


“I was scooped up against his chest, my legs dangling from the ground as though I was a child. “Do you ever wear clothes, doll?”
I shrugged. “Siret always makes them so tight that it’s much more comfortable this way.”
“Clever Siret.” I heard him murmur, but before I could say anything else, he did his flashing thing and everything went dark.”

I find it hilarious that Cyrus also ends up tangled in Willa’s half-naked mess completely by accident. He’s trying to remain gruff and stern with her, but we can see that he’s amused by her, and I think that deep down he might even care a little for her. I really liked the little we saw of him in the previous book, so I was happy to see that he was still a part of the plot in this one, and I am pretty sure that he will continue to be there because he can’t help himself, he just needs to be involved in whatever is happening with Willa and the guys.

I think I picked up a few hints as to a possible future love-interest for Cyrus, and I am not sure yet how I feel about it, because the love interest in question is a nice character, but not one I am overly fond of. Things might change though, and the combination of their personalities would be interesting for sure if I’m right and it happens in the next or last book.

“You’re special. You’re the only person we’ve invited into our group. The only person who has been allowed to get this close. You’re like an outsider who belongs inside, so we brought you further in than we even bring each other, to make up for the fact that you weren’t born one of us.”


“What would you call us?” He directed that question to me. “We’re not your friends, so you have to pick a different word. Maybe … boyfr—”
“Princesses,” I inserted.
“Not where he was heading with that,” Yael inserted blandly. “But go ahead and explain.”
“If I have to run after you five, rescuing you all the time—that makes you the princesses in the story.”

After a slow start, because Willa was separated from the brothers for almost half of the book, she is finally getting somewhere with the 5 brothers and the built-up sexual tension! The pack is FINALLY broken, and now we get to have some smut!!!🔥🔥🔥 I am definitely hoping for more in the next books though because we only got a little of it near the end, and it’s not nearly enough for all the sexual tension we had to endure in Trickery and Persuasion, and even in the first 75% of Seduction. I want more smut!

“I’ll get one of the others,” he said, stepping back.
I opened my mouth to protest, but he cut me off. “I can’t control my Pain around you tonight, but you shouldn’t be alone. Tonight, you need one of my brothers.”

🖤 Coen definitely has a sweet and caring side that he hides under his gruffiness. It melt my heart to see how he was willing to back away and get another brother to stay with Willa because she needed someone else at that time. He can be such a quiet sweetheart, he definitely deserves more hugs.
💜 Siret – the poor baby needs more love and kisses from Willa. I feel that he’s been a steady presence at her side since the beginning, always taking her side too and supporting her, but somehow it never got physical between them as it did with the others, even though we could feel the tension between them. He better get more love and sexy time in the next book.
💙 Rome surprised me in this book. He was quieter and in the background in the first books, but he is more present in this one and gets more time with Willa, and I am still in love with his big protector side.
💛 Aros is still the ray of sunshine, and I wish he would hold me against his chest like he seems to always be doing with Willa. Sadly though, I feel that we still didn’t see much of him, he’s probably the brother with the fewer layers so far, and I really hope that we will see more depth to his character in the next book. I have nothing against him, but I feel that he’s just smiles and sunshine, that’s all Willa says about him; he’s happy, reassuring, and smells good.
💚 Yael – I still struggle a little bit with him. I LOVE him, but his competitive and possessive side is not always very attractive, although that is just a personal preference of mine. I don’t mind a love interest being protective and slightly possessive, but the competitive side mixing with it is not my favorite combination. As I said in my review of the previous book though, he is intense, like… very intense, and that makes up for the competitiveness. 😏

Rome shrugged, before he pointed across to a sol hurrying toward the Sacred Sands arena. “I’m sure enough that I would bet that guy’s life on it.”
I followed the sol for a beat, before turning back to Rome. “So you have no idea, and you aren’t sure at all.”


“What got into her just now?” Rome asked Yael, turning his head to the side to talk to his brother, while his eyes stayed fixed on me. His posture was wary.
“No idea.” Yael’s voice was low, as though I might not hear him if he tricked me into thinking that the conversation was a private one. “It was very sudden. But mortal women are supposed to have mood swings. Did she not eat enough? Should I put some bread in her mouth before it gets worse?”

This book is still as hilarious, over-the-top, and ridiculous as the previous ones. The banter and overall craziness made me smile so much, and it made it hard to take breaks while reading this book. I just wanted to keep on reading to see what disaster would strike next. Willa’s internal monologues are already funny, but the fact that the guys can hear them and either react to them or just decide to ignore them altogether because they’re used to it makes it even funnier.

“I love you, too, Willa-toy. I don’t know what I’d do without you. Life—immortality—none of it meant anything until you tripped in and started setting things on fire.”

We are also left with many questions concerning Willa’s father, and how she came to have powers, and I really hope to get some answers in the next book, because I have some hypotheses, but honestly, I don’t know at all how things will unravel and it’s driving me crazy not to know who or what she is.

I love this series. Can we please fast-forward time to the release date?

This series is one of those that you wish you had started after all of the books were released because waiting for the next in the series is torture! I just finished Persuasion and I already crave the next installment. Release date?

[Vicky · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not gonna lie, this series has thousands of problematic issues, but I'm addicted My main pet peeve with this book is the sex scene needed to be longer and more detailed. It was almost like it was just Willa and Rome and Yael was just there being ignored, did he... um find his release? I'm a kinky reader and I demand next time there's a threesome we get a clearer picture.

I can't help it, but I really like the reverse harem going on in this series. I have to move on to the next installment to know how it evolves.

[Karen · Rating 3 out of 5]

1 likeable heroine
3 books
5 lovable guys
Dozens of moments of mounting sexual tension
Thousand of eager readers waiting for the moment when finally, the sexual tension turns into a mature relationship.
All for almost nothing
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SEX SCENE? She was upset because her mother is now dead, and then she gets all horny. I thought she was depressed, and then everything the mother supposedly means to her becomes nothing. Nothing because hormones rule Willa. First she gets all flirty with Coen, then has sex with Rome. Just Rome. Yael was there and yes, he got some piece of the action, but for him, it must have been a very frustrating sex act, did he even come?
For all Willa's promises of trying to give herself equally to all the brothers, I don't think it worked. I had waited for Willa and her boys sexy moments for so long and I hated how that scene was marred by the death of Willa's mother and more plotholes than Swiss cheese
I enjoyed Willa negotiating with her boys the no-sex pact . I didn't enjoy how things played out later.


I hated the ending, how rushed was that? Immediatly after the sex, Cyrus kills Willa, after Aros allows Willa to take the night watch. That's such a plothole. Then Willa wakes up as Chaos beta and the book ends. No reaction of the Abcurses to Willa's sex with Yael and Rome, surely they heard her thoughts during sex? and then she gets killed and we don't get a little bit fo their pespective. It's so frustrating, because so many pages read like filler and to not get a couple of pages of post-sex and post-death drama is really dissapointing. Instead of all the filler, some detailed scenes of the brothers mourning Willa's death would have been welcome.

The writing and editing of Trickery weren't extraordinary to begin with, but now they're turning into confusing scenes and plotholes. The arena situation was confusing. I had to re-read to understand what was going on.

I'll read the rest of the series, but I really hope the authors work harder to strenght their plot and get better editing support. 3 stars because I'm in love with Siret and Rome.

[Tink Magoo is bad at reviews · Rating 3 out of 5]

Update -
So it's been nearly two months since I read this and that sex scene is still pissing me off. It's nearly the equivalent of meeting a great guy whos funny and attractive and then getting him naked and him having the smallest ugliest penis ever. I'm no over exaggerating here - can you imagine that. Meh

3.5 stars

These books always seem to end too quickly. While I enjoyed Willa's adventures in this book and the direction she's going I have to say that I'm bloody glad the stupid pact is over and they can all really be together but I must admit I was a pissed off and hugely let down by that sex scene. Ater waiting this long what we got was below par.
Come on! There were no details and it was over so quickly. That needs sorting out!

Oh my damn! Willa is freaking hilarious and I think she was in a nudist colony in a previous life.

I am just loving this whole re-read of the Curse the Gods Series. Sometimes you just need to fall back in love with a book or two. There's also just something about Willa that just makes you constantly aware of whatever the hell she is going to bring you next. It's kind of like a game to see what she will do and who will be naked next.

A drinking game maybe? A game none-the-less.

I'm pretty sure my stomach is in so much pain from laughing so hard while reading this. It's just Willa being Willa. I mean the guys have their moments but let's face it - she's the funny one in the entire group.

The ending still gets me every damn time and now I'm excited to dive back into the next book!
______________________________
Second time read & review.

I still love Willa and all of her stubbornness. She's adorable and never fails to make me laugh. The one thing I've been hoping, and praying, sort of finally happened. I got some smut guys! It was beautiful waterfall kind of naked smut. My heart feels a little bit better and now I can't wait to get more of Willa and my guys!!

People are still trying to kidnap and kill this poor girl. I feel bad for her and all of the other dwellers at this point. The sols are a bunch of dicks and I can only assume the gods are much worse. We sort of get to hear more about the OG of the gods but I don't like how the guys in this book are still going through these stupid trials. I get that Willa is their weakness.. but they are hers as well. Heck, even Emmy is too!

I obviously liked it when they were all together.. but I had a feeling that people were keeping so many secrets from one another. I also just really want to know more about Willa's power and what she actually is.

Overall, the ending kind of left me in shock. I can't wait to dive into the next book because I haven't read it yet! So the rest of the series will be all new books - so excited!
___________________________________________________________
I'm kind of mad at myself for waiting so long to read this book. I didn't even know when it came out - which I feel ashamed to admit. But, yeah, it happened and I hope I redeemed myself by reading this book from this really freaking amazing series.

THE BOYS ARE BACK! I have missed all of these crazy fools and Willa so freaking much that it's probably super sad. Please don't judge me - but if you must, can you do it quietly in a dark corner? PLEASE?

I loved everything about this book that I can't accept that it's over. I really want to reread all three books within this series before the next book comes out. I really wish authors just wrote all the books within the series and then released them all on the same day. Just so I can be happy.

Now I'm not going to spoil anything that happens or didn't happen in this book because I just really want people to read this god damn series. Fall in love with it people! Just know that I probably had lots of mini heart attacks from my heart racing throughout this book. I was so freaking happy that I probably had a really creepy grin on my face. I'm sad that this book is over - but hey, I'll probably reread it. Like now.

⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱*Didn't Do Much For Me*⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱

Two moon-cycles aka two months has gone since the first book where Willa's soul got split into five pieces and into the Abcurse, connecting them. Meaning they can hear her thoughts and she gets pain if she's too far away from them. This book didn't do much for me, even though we finally got a sexual encounter. While I didn't skim completely, I did read quickly because the book couldn't draw me in enough. That might have to do with the fact that I'm sick, or it just wasn't for me. Book one was good, book two was good enough and this one was just ok. While I liked the sex scene and I love seeing Willa and her boys getting closer, I want more development in the characters. And for some reason I'm scared Emmy will become another Mischa from Jaymin Eve 's Supernatural Prison series and that Cyrus will became her love-interest. I don't like that thought and I don't know why. That being said, it wasn't a bad read per se, it just wasn't as good as the first two and I just didn't feel it.

He turned, and I watched him walk off as the rest of the fallen people managed to find their feet and recover their dropped items. Rome didn’t release my hip until Dru was out of sight, and even then, it was only to spin me around to face him.
“You should—”
“Stop talking to boys,” I interrupted. “Yeah. We’ve had this talk before. It’s irrational. I can’t avoid all males.”
“Just the sols.” He frowned. “And the dwellers. And the gods.”
“So just … all males, then?” I arched a brow at him.
He nodded, once, short and sharp—as though we had just figured out our differences and come to a mutual agreement.

Characters:
→ Willa ‘Will’ ‘Rocks’ ‘Solider’ ‘Dweller-baby’ ‘Willa-Toy’ Knight (18), a dweller. Because of the curse that was meant for one of the Abcurse brothers hit Willa instead, she's now the Beta to Rau (a theory), a dweller-sol-hybrid.
The Abcurse brothers (made up name) - believed to be the most powerful sols at Blesswood - are gods (they got exiled to Minatsol because Trickery tricked Staviti into trying to mate with one of Bestiary’s creations for the rest of this life-cycle (year), and that Minatsol weakens them):

→ Aedan, a sol.
→ Brina, a goddess - the Beta god of Sorcery.
→ Jade, was recently appointed as head of the Dweller Relations Committee in light of Elowin’s request for a sabbatical - though in truth Elowin’s dead, killed by the brothers in book one.
→ Razi, a god and the Envy Beta.
→ Cyrus, a Neutral god who deal in the disputes of the gods. Has power that is beyond even Staviti, was created as a balance, which means Cyrus have gods trying to take him down on a regular basis. Gods that don’t want balance. Steve, his server. Cyrus broke the soul-link between Willa and the Abcurses and soul-linked himself to her for a short period of time in book two. Whoever Willa’ve been soul-linked to will always have a connection with her. An eternal bond.
→ Jeffrey, a slave/dweller in topia?
→ Frederique ‘Fred’, a sol who's father had a chance at becoming the next Vice-Chancellor.
→ Bradford and Morgan, sols who's fathers - along side Fred's father - will be competing against a panel of high-ranking Minateur guards in a few sun-cycles, in Dvadel.
→ Evie, a dweller, one of the instigators of the dweller uprising. Evie and Emmy were both instigators, along with Atti.
→ Zachary ‘Zac’, a body pickup. Family business. Who works for the guardians (who then works for the The Sacred Ones) who turn dwellers into pleasing little puppets for the gods: servers.
→ Leden, a pantera.

The God tree:
→ Staviti (Original God)
Ten companions - The Original Gods who Staviti created:
→ Adeline (Goddess of Beauty) - the Abcurses mother. In order to get children Abil used his magic to disguise Adeline as Pica. She ran to Staviti and asked him to gift her with children. It’s the only way to have children, in Topia, since Staviti controls everything. So she told him that she would finally love him, if he allowed her children. He agreed, and gifted her two pregnancies, on the condition that she not seek out Rau to be the father of her children. The Abcurses brothers are the only beings born of a union between the gods.
→ Abil (God of Trickery) - Aka D.O.D. (dear old dad), the Abcurses father.
→ Rau (God of Chaos) - has one big problem: he’s one of the only Original Gods without a Beta and no one really knows why there has never been a sol to step into the role.
→ Terence (God of Bestiary)
→ Lorda (Goddess of Obsession)
→ Pica (Goddess of Love) - Staviti has been in love with her since the beginning of time; she was the first companion that he created. Though she loved Rau so Staviti banned all of the gods from pairing up, or having children together.
→ Ciune (Goddess of Wisdom)
→ Gable (God of Vice)
→ Crowe (God of Death)
→ Haven (God of Nature)

5 friggin' stars! It was everything I was hoping for. Worth the wait... although I'd really like to not wait for the next book.

I always worry that during a longer series, one of the books will sort of drag so I was super happy to find that this wasn't the case. The story is just as entertaining as the 1st and 2nd.

Since it's a 3rd book there's not a lot I can say that won't give things away but what I wanted to happen?...Effing YES! Finally!

Willa is still hilarious and I adore her. The guys?
*swoon* and I still don't have a favorite! How these authors managed that, I have no clue.

Love this series! Must read.

Dwellers are starting an uprising, no longer happy with their lot in life as basically slaves. Someone wants Willa dead and just as she really finds her rather with the Abcurse brothers, she suddenly finds herself alone. It's survival of the fittest, and the the fun continues. My TBR at this point is gone. I waved goodbye as I made sure the next books were ready.

Finally! The pact is broken. I’m just as happy about this as I was the first time. (And I’m sorry to say I find the fate of Willa’s mother hilarious. I know I shouldn’t but I do.) Now let’s see if I can actually finish this series….

Holy Hot Abcurse boys...
Seduction is without question my fave from the series so far, it begins with Willa being the special kind of, well special she is..not so covertly following best friend/almost sister Emmy around trying to find out what she is hiding.
This is something that never goes well for her and in true Willa style shit goes wrong.

I almost spat my drink and had a case of snorting, seriously this book had me laughing out loud and looking like a total maniac to those around me...and I loved every second of it.

This time around our boys get called back to Topia..trouble is brewing and Staviti wants a "chat"
Nothing could possibly go wrong leaving Willa behind and temporarily switching her bond to something or someone else ...could it?
HA wouldn't be Curse of the Gods without Chaos, mayhem and Willa drama. This book has that in spades.

Blackouts, literal chaos, burning buildings and Dru....yeah Dru you are so disappointing, such a snake in the grass Did. Not. See. That. Coming. But damn I'm glad it did 5 hot guys per book is enough hahahahaha, his character always confused me, like why are you always there dude??

Back to the hot Gods..... Willa finds her way into Topia on the back of a Pantera and learns some useful information from the original Topian inhabitants.

And Holy Fucking Shit...we get steam people, actually we get flat out fan yourself flames... Willa you lucky girl, I don't think I've ever been more jealous of a fictional character before.

Jane and Jaymin have created such a brilliantly detailed world, I hate leaving it at the end of each book, and now with Seduction they have kicked it up a notch. Sooo if you haven't read book 1 Trickery or book 2 Persuasion go...go now because you need the Abcurse boys in your life.
Meanwhile I'll just sit here patiently waiting for book 4
FIVE , 5, 5 , 5 Godly Stars

(2.5) dnf @ 50%

the Abcurses really felt like more of a side characters instead of main characters since book 2, and in here too. (I’ve read few reviews that said the same thing w/ the rest of the book in this series so gonna stop here)

it’s kinda tricky with RH imo, cuz the author’ll have to write more than one H that’ll appeal to the readers. That means more than one H’s character development, each one of them gotta have different interesting dynamic w/ the heroine. And that’s what makes RH so fascinating to me. the reason I was interested in continuing this series in the first place was because of the RH, i like pnr / fantasy but my main focus & interest in the book would always will be the romance. couldn’t care less for the plot tbh. but if the author was able to make me care bout it, that’s a major plus. overall the boys were absent most of the time in this book so it was boring

I think I'm done with this series. Willa's antics are old and the weak plot is buried under Willa's pining over all the Abcurses. I'm good.

~~~~MacHalo Buddy Read~~~~

So, yeah, I'm so, so invested in this story that went from super light funny fun to like, a mini saga. Don't get me wrong, it's still fun and very funny, but they've added some depth here. You guys know I don't watch tv. I binge watch shows on the weekend. I can't stomach regular trash, but THIS kind of stuff? I'm a HUGE sucker for. SO much happens in this book. It was a massive leap. I'm still getting through it all.

And and and now? Now what? I wait?! NOOOOO! Cause I need to know answers to questions and more Willa and the Abcurses. And flying Panteras! Damn I want one.

[Steph · Rating 5 out of 5]

well. I read that entirely too fast and now it's OVER! I've waited so long for this book. now I have to wait foreverrrrrr for the next one.

[Nicla · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think I am addicted to this series. It is just so much fun and I love the amazing bunch of characters.
