I knew I would absolutely love malone and aurora’s story and I was so friggin right!!! my sapphic queens!!!

the tension between the two was so high throughout this series, and this was the perfect story to end on! seeing their want and desire play out through both heart to hearts and spicy scenes was *chef kiss* 🫡

aurora is a sweet baby with a burning fire inside of her - and she has become my favorite character in this entire series! her passion to protect her friends and family is so strong I would risk it all for her

finding out the story behind malone and aurora, and the origins of their hatred towards each other, was so well done! it didn’t feel rushed at all 💜 and having hades act as a protective dad towards aurora was just what she needed to get her life in order

this series was definitely hit or miss for me (I tend to enjoy more plot heavy than smutty editions like this one) - but the sapphic romance really hit the spot for me I love them your honor!!!
