I've already talked about how much Nora's writing improved between Neil's trilogy and this one but it's so important to me that I say it again because it shows a lot more in this book. Even with all the heavy stuff going on around them, Nora still managed to make this book focus mostly on Jean as a character and how he was adjusting and healing rather than on the plot. It makes the story feel like it's Jean's and also Jeremy's and I loved that. 

It's safe to say that I laughed twice as much as I teared up. Jean was so witty and unserious, I fell in love with him every single page. I adored Jeremy and loved getting to see more of his story and character. Reading Cat and Laila together, seeing Cat and Jean become so close made me the happiest. I have also become enamored with Cody and Xavier, can't wait to read more of them. 

I appreciated (read: screamed my fucking lungs out) the tension and electrically charged moments between Jeremy and Jean that were sprinkled within the pages of them being genuine friends and choosing each other. Ugh I'm sooooooo obsessed with them. I can NOT wait until the last book is out

I'd be less mad at this if the book was a fluff piece ONLY, but the author seemed to remember halfway through the book that there needed to be a plot and decided on something lackluster to close up the book. 

I didn't care for the metaphorical writing style, the pacing was off, and I absolutely resented Wesley. Wesley as a character was clearly supposed to be the morally superior, chosen one archetype and it was executed so poorly. I couldn't stand to be in his head at all. Vincent should have dumped him on multiple occasions. 

For a book with needy vampire x horny human with a biting kink characters, I was expecting to like this a lot more but the execution didn't live up to the blurb.
