Ruby Roe has mastered the enemies-to-lovers trope. OMFG. I legit just can't EVEN with this series. It's volcanic. There's so much I love about this series in general but Remy just kidnapped my heart and locked it away. Ooooohhhhh Remy. Just Yummy. 

As in the first two books, the world-building is phenomenal, the characters are captivating, the chemistry is EXPLOSIVE and the narrators are perfect for the vibe of this book. I was on fire through this final installment of the Girl Games Series. The pull between Remy and Bella was absolutely palpable. Both of these characters have their own agenda but their pull to each other is so strong. . I love how Roe wrote this dynamic, "we'll get it out of system once" turns into "I can't get enough" turns into "FEEEELIIINNNNGSSSS" without permission from the characters... it just can't be helped. GAH! So angsty!! These two had me by the held hostage and didn't let go. 

AND- Once again - I can't not mention - Ruby Roe writes some HELLA sapphic steam. OMFG. There are plenty in this book but the toy scene. I needed a good glass of wine after that one. Just wow.

I also LOOOVED getting to see Red (from House of Crimson Hearts ) introduced in this book. I love that Roe has weaved these two series together. It just adds another layer of attachment to the world that Roe has built. 

This whole series was just phenomenal. If you're looking for stellar sapphic paranormal romance - THIS IS IT!!!! 

This series will be a re-listen for me.. If you're new to audiobooks, 100% I recommend this series as an introduction to the world of Audiobooks. The writing and the narration are UTTER PERFECTION!!!!
