I remember how much I was fangirling over this series back in the day, I loved it so much. Gushing over the characters, going all in for the ships. Best story ever! Omg the twists!

Now it's just. Meh? It's ok. There are still some scenes that I found well built, the setting of the book shop is an easy way to win a reader's heart, pure catering. The monsties were cool as well, some if the main ones are terrifying.

The characters. Hm. Mac is a walking stereotype, she's meant to be that, I understand, but some stuff that comes out of her mouth did not age well at all. Reading the story from her point of view is at most times cringe.

Barrons, oh how much I used to love Barrons. To quote myself, 'one of the best male characters ever written!' Do I still feel like that? Hell no. Maybe it's the fact that after all these years of reading I got beyond fed up the typical alpha male stereotype, it just doesn't do it for me anymore. Barrons is just that, big dick alpha, so tough and rough, full of muscles swole boi that will punch his way through everything. Did I mention that he's mega rich and drives the fanciest cars? I mean with how alpha he is he has to. It's the rules.

Talking about secondary characters, I'm trying really hard to even remember who is in this book. Forgettable to say the least.

Was V'lane in this? I think so. There's your great secondary character, the potential love triangle insert.

I will push on to finish up my re-read for the series, at least untill book 5. I'm curious to see how they hold up, hopefully better than this one.
