It’s such a fitting sub genre but I promise I just want to call it a Crowley Romance. Azalea really is in a league and lane all her own and she blows me away every time. I always think I know what to expect and I’m almost never even close. On top of being a phenomenal read, this pulled me out of a major slump. I think I would have enjoyed it a little more if either Ella would have expressed her feelings sooner thus allowing Eugene to realize his, I wanted just a little more time with them both aware and in their little bubble before the applesauce hit the fan. But bugger me that ending. Ahhhh, I sort of kind had a small thought but Im sure I actually have no idea. Pace wise it was attention getting and steady from start to finish. When the smex hits it so good and I loved the imagery of it as much as the heat. We got quite a bit of information about the lore at the end so I’m really excited to dive more into that in the next book, hopefully we understand Eugene’s origins and the compulsion better and find out more about the Bardots. This is an exciting series.
