This book makes me so happy and every single time I read it I just want to savour it slowly like fine wine. The dynamic between Hawke and Sienna is one of courage, bravery, connection, possessiveness and love. The way their relationship progressed over the course of the book (thanks Kit lol) was not a slow burn but made gradual steps. At times it was a background to two main plots: (1) Henry Scott’s war with the packs + Nikita and Anthony, and (2) Finding Alice Eldridge . Behind all of that again was the romance between Lara and Walker which added a sweet energy to the text. OH and that Sascha and Lucas had Naya .
I had to speed read this book a bit due to reading it in a 24 hour challenge, but if given the chance I would take about a hundred years to finish it. It filled me with utmost happiness, swooning, excitement at the battle scenes, laughter and tears. It’s such a high stakes book though that the “low” scenes kind of throw you out of it. Also that one comment about Hawke being a cradle robber took me out of it LOL. Note for all the haters that he’s not though and the relationship between them doesn’t start until she’s 19, and no odd thoughts occurred before she was 18.
In summary, this book always heals me and fills me with such absolute joy I LOVE IT!

This was an interesting and informative book about how to design a case study, and provided the reader with a bunch of important and useful information. Will definitely be referring back to notes taken from this book in the future as I continue my case study writing.
