Around this point we meet our second love interest for the next book. We got a very detailed, but thow away description

It took this long to get the clue

First clue that the focus will shift to Harts narrative, because Hart is never physically described until this part, 'sculpted butt and thighs' so there's that

So far I agree with some reviews. Since when is 9-months "long enough" as long as it's not 9yrs, the love interest is crass for being in his feels, for the MC not being ready when he was ready. Also...I hope there is more about how the preternatural works in this book, b/c how is someone who's been using their ability all their life get weaker?

Um people made a big deal about two events that aren't as devastating as they made them to be and I feel like a lot of projecting happens

Introduced to a new queer character in Lucca and no book dedicated to him....feels like an oversight....I sincerely hope something happens between now and later

It's around this point, in my mind, that the Rachel is like f*ck Shane. So I'm not expecting much at this point and it's nice to finally be close to current timeline. This feels like it shouldve been the third book and then the others to follow; because having Ilya show up in almost all of them felt off until you read this one....not something I'm sure I like

The closer we get to time lines the better the books feel. I get this is supposed to be a stand alone, but it felt like hours/pages could've been trimmed down and stream lined without the reiterating what happened in the past books. Especially because Ilya is practically in all of them. But I also don't read with rose tinted glasses

Ok Reid made a great villain in Crowley, but waited for the last two books to introduce him. I already feel like there will be no cathartic comeuppance for him

Some things that bug me...the times each narrative takes place, yes the books could be stand alone if she hadn't inserted Ilya into every one of them, because he's her Lestat. So Ilya bad mouths his new team in this book, but in the previous he's optimistic and encouraging. But clearly where I'm at now that hasn't happened and that's jarring. And neither character are consistent. She doesn't like Shane
