3.25

Hear me out - I know I’m rating this a 3.25 and sometimes people can think that means bad bad, but that’s not the case for this one. I enjoyed this book and will absolutely continue this series because the tension and plot have me intrigued. While I’m excited to continue on in this world, there are some things that pulled it down for me. I would say the first half of the book is definitely trying to find its footing and repeats A LOT of the same things (words, interactions, internal monologue threads). For a book about relationships that involve having multiple partners this read YA (I know the characters are 19, so I did give them some passes) which was probably due to the amount of petty comments, cursing (and I curse a lot and even this felt like too much), and just sheer childishness by all of the characters. All that being said, I was able to look past it because the main plot of this story has so much potential and I NEED to know what happens.

There was two things that set me off. The fact that there was *trigger warning* grape innuendos. Even from one of the bonded guys themselves?!?! And home girl keeps saying she can't use her powers multiple times even though I've only listened to 8% of this book. Even though these powers can help her get out of the situation she is in.

For some reason I enjoyed this book. 

The writing is not challaneging and is pretty basic but there is just something addictive about the characters and plot that I’m here for. 

Ranking the Bonds for now: 
1. Atlas 
2. Gryphon 
3. Gabe 
4. North (just a dick rn) 
5. Nox (he has a lot to make up for)
