Finally at last some answers! Although we had to wait for the very last moment to learn their order. I’m happy with it. I can’t wait to learn more about it. 

General Commentary: 
  • 26% I think that someone is drugging them. I think Sofia got drugged when they went off campus and it was meant for one of the twins. And I think Tory was drugged when drinking with Sofia and Diego. And I think it has to be him. I already commented on how his lack of order seems sketchy. And he’s the only common factor. 
  • 38% “Here, we were nothing but two Fae who craved each other with a force that rivalled mother nature. And I could no longer resist the call of its power.” YAYYYY! But when will they realize that they are magically mated?!?
  • And whooo is Tory going to pick? Darius or Caleb?
  • 44% “I have a perfectly good bed downstairs,” I replied, shaking my head just a little. “Why would you want me to stay?” Darius frowned like he wasn’t sure what to say to that, but he inched a little closer all the same. “Because it feels right,” he breathed.
  • Can she just have both of them? Please? They are both perfection. Minus being assholes who tortured her.
  • 51% they are losing their appeal once again by being assholes ONCE AGAIN
  • 52% the three of you should take advantage of this situation…
  • 56% I KNEW DIEGO WAS FUCKING SKETCH! “Why was Lionel with Diego’s uncle?”
  • 66% ugh no please stop fighting. I hate when their heirs are assholes and fight with them. Why can’t we all be friends and crush on one another 
  • 71% so did they not burn because they are so strong with their fire magic that they don’t even need to think about it? Or are they freaking dragons?!
  • 80% Diego is TRASHHHH. 
  • “I thought you were different,” he said slowly. “But you’re just like your whore of a sister, pining after bastardos who treat you like dirt and who only give you a second look because you’d drop onto your knees for them any time they liked. Es patético.”
  • 82% that electrocuting numb man thing was stupid. 
  • 84% ohhh Caleb lovessss her! 
  • “Are you sure you know what you’re getting into with her?” Max asked, shifting closer to me. “That’s not just lust you’re feeling anymore.”
  • 85% DAMNNN Diego. Seriously. Fuck you. “Eres una puta como tu hermana.” Aka you are a whore like your sister.
  • 88% is Darcy a Phoenix? They are both of ash and fire. “Fae born of ash and fire...”
  • “My heart pounded harder and harder as I finally understood why we hadn’t died this night. We were impervious to fire. Impossible as it seemed, it was clear as day now.”
  • 89% I want to fucking kill these heirs. And I need to remember that fact. No longer falling for their handsome faces and occasional acts of kindness. They are snakes who can’t be trusted. 
  • 96% stop it Darius. I’m mad at you. 
  • “Because that’s what I do,” he said slowly. “I watch you and hunger for you and ache for you. It torments me like I torment you.”
  • “There are countless people who would say I’m not allowed to want you,” Darius breathed. “But you make me want to burn the whole world down so that I can claim you for my own.” “Then we should burn it down,” I agreed.
  • 99% whoop whoop I was right they are phoenixes! I bet it is fire that gives them strength. That’s why their power was always regenerating. They were always around fire.
