" I am SCREAMING?!!! I have surprised even myself by giving this book 5 stars because when I tell you it pissed me off so bad!! Let me be clear. If Theon has 10,000 fans, I am one of them. If he has 10 fans, I am one of them. If he has one fan, it’s me I am SCREAMING?!!! I have surprised even myself by giving this book 5 stars because when I tell you it pissed me off so bad!! Let me be clear. If Theon has 10,000 fans, I am one of them. If he has 10 fans, I am one of them. If he has one fan, it’s me. If he has no fans, I am dead. SO LET ME TELL YOU HOW MAD I WAS WHEN LUKA WAS ENCROACHING ON HIS BUSINESS??? I don’t dislike Luka and I am not blind to his connection with Tessa, I just don’t want them to be together romantically.

Let me lay out the arguments. Luka has been good about seeing her needs and trying to do what is best for her from the beginning. I think Theon was starting to get there, but was far more selfish with his intentions, I get that. With Luka, she would always feel safe and cherished yes but there’s not quite the same fire that comes with Theon. When she asked Luka if it would have been like this if they’d been matched, he said yes and meant a loving connection, whereas she said with Theon they will always be at each other’s throats. Luka has said and done all the right things for her and understands her very well, but I will just never be behind it. WE HAVE TWO MORE BOOKS TO GO WE NEED DRAMA NOT TWO PEOPLE WHO FIT TOGETHER??!

I knew things were going to go horribly when Theon had him help with her second mark and I was hoping he wouldn’t be a part of the third, but here we are. THEON AND TESSA ARE THE PERFECT OPPOSITES!! He is dark, she is light. He is perfectly controlled, she is wild and untamed. They argue so much but that is from the passion!! And that is necessary!! And somehow they understand each other beyond that. It’s also so fucking clear that Theon was trying to be more understanding to her needs in this book, and she almost trusted him. There was a subtle change throughout where he stopped trying to change her and started doing things to protect her, just for her. You could tell that before she went to Achaz kingdom and they had sex, they were both feeling it was more. I think he should have told her about her lineage but he did it with the intention of protecting her. This all being said, with perfect opposites, WHERE DOES A DRAGON FIT IN IN THE MIDDLE?? HE DOES NOT! And sorry but sexually, Theon always knows what she needs and it’s because he’s rough with her, I don’t know if Mr lovey dovey Luka could get her off.

Beyond this, Luka has been Theon’s best friend for years and KEPT ALL THESE SECRETS FROM HIM?? The traveling?? That was bad. But the fact he’s been attached and attracted to Tessa from the beginning??? Oh that had me mad. When Tessa kissed Luka in front of Theon? And how Luka continuously called her “my girl” in front of him?? I would’ve thrown hands. And let’s not forget how Luka has thrown back all the bad decisions Theon has made in his face, as if he wasn’t beside Theon for most of them. Guess what Luka, it was probably easy to not have to make those decisions when you are not in the direct fire of Valters wrath. Like bruh.

I get why Tessa fantasized about them both though, and would totally be behind a threesome if I thought little Theon could handle it, but my man is possessive af. I am PISSED he sent Luka to her at the end, but I think if anything Luka and her will wind up soulmates. THEON AND TESSA MUST END UP TOGETHER BECAUSE DID YOU SEE THAT LAST SCENE BETWEEN THEM??! That was so fucking epic, she took back all of the power and made him her source (thanks scarlett!)!!! I love that they now have a leg up on the bond from her and Luka, and I think it was necessary for her to take back the control for once and even the playing field between them. If they can both work past their issues with each other they will be unstoppable with both of their power. AND THE I LOVE YOU, YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO LOVE?!!! PLEASE!!!! Lest we forget the guardian bond. All she wants is someone who will put her first and love her for her. Theon has already demonstrated he is capable of this by sending Luka to her. Luka will never be able to do this completely because he will always put Theon first.

ANYWAY!! Axel and Katya!! Twin flames if I ever saw them! Axel’s chaps were such a reprieve from the turmoil I was going through with this love triangle from hell, because they were so wholesome! Axel has also earned beloved status. Congrats Axel! I loved their banter and cute teasing with things being logical! And he was the first person she ever chose to have sex with! And she was so supportive about his addiction! But now I am worried! Katya is safe with Cienna but I know Axel is not okay. He suffered so much just for her. What if Valter dies and no one knows where he is! Or what if he becomes a night child!! AGH!!

I CALLED FROM THE BEGINNING OF BOOK 1 TESSA WOULD HE FORBIDDEN LOVE CHILD OF TEMURAL AND AN ACHAZ LEGACY AND I WAS RIGHT!!! But it seems like everyone knows Tessa is on the wrong side but Tessa. Valter AND RORDAN created Augery, and just because he left doesn’t necessarily mean he’s abandoned their practices. I don’t trust him. He’s too nice. Lest we forget Dex is there and I’m still maintaining he’s a Maraan. PLUS FATHER DRAGON LOCKED IN THE BASEMENT!! He said her salvation is death (THEON IS DEATH COME ONNNN).

I think her and Theon have power to save or destroy devram. Together they create the perfect balance that is needed. In the next book I’m hoping since Theon has been humbled a bit, he will step into his role as an Arius Lord and also become a better person. I’m hoping Tessa will discover she’s on the wrong side of history here. I’m hoping Luka will fuck off from Tessa and focus on the fact that he has a brother and their father is alive?? I’m hoping Razik and Eliza find cure in Devram for her mark. I’m also very intrigued by Trystan and Cienna being siblings?? I think Lilura is maybe name of Tessa’s mom?? Theon obviously knows but I hope to learn more. Anyway #THEONESSA ...more "
