Good 3rd book
This is my second read through of this book, I remember certain things that actually happened but weirdly enough, Kindle Unlimited showed that this was a “new” book to me. I remember Joseline made a deal with Arias “Angel” that turned out to be one of the original Sin Demons, Greed. Maverick seems to be entranced by Aria while also following orders from Lucifer, his father. He convinced Aria to wear a ring to help control Sayah. It bugs me that she is so driven to control her, that she doesn’t try to get to know her. It was explained in the first book why she had to let her loose once in a while or else she could experience another blackout, but that didn’t seem to be an issue in this book. Sayah saved them multiple times in this book but Aria couldn’t see that until after and never really took it into account that every time she appeared, she was saving their butts. She’s a bit dense about this, refusing to hear the guys side of the story when they found out about the ring. Aria never even mentioned he did something to her in the previous books which didn’t seem to take. Her secrets are driving me bonkers. The guys holding back on telling her about their past, and the relationship they have with Maverick. The “Angel”, younger brother to Cain, the original Sin demon of Greed. He was in on the coup to usurp Lucifer but Lucifer didn’t know this and when they were beat, they left his name out of the individuals that were in on the coup. Mavericks been trying to get Dorian and Elias to off Cain with the promise of coming home, but when that didn’t work, he started stalking Aria. She would see someone in white in the distance, blink and he would be gone. At some point he made contact with her, knowing details about her she never offered. She never took notice of this. He promised to help her control Sayah. Once she heard that, it was like a weight was lifted off her chest. She was so worried about controlling Sayah that she never considered the consequences of her decision to trust a complete stranger in a world she knows so little of. This is what I mean about being Dense. Otherwise, the book moved at a pace that was easy to keep up with. It broke me to see how devastated they all were about Cain. I’m so glad, they were able to save him. Jumping into the tasks that were asked of them, they didn’t hesitate. Dorian and Elias still jump to conclusions when they realize she’s missing. They still don’t trust her completely, which kinda peeves me a bit. She’s shown them time after time in this book that she’s there to help. She’s not the type to lie. I’m glad Cain being sick didn’t stretch into multiple books. I don’t think I would have been able to continue if that’s the case. For some reason I just want them all to be together and happy. They have already gone through so much, Aria is starting to consider them family and realized how close she was to losing one of them really cinched it in her mind.
Beautiful writing. Loved reading all the multiple point of views. Everything had the proper amount of story telling versus character build up/interactions. It was great book.
