Holy Harbinger! This book packed such an emotional wallop that I am honestly still recovering. My emotions are so spent right now that I feel like a blubbering mess.

This paragraph is basically going to be me fangirling about Jennifer L. Armentrout's craft because she is just unrivaled in her writing. Her writing style grabs you from the beginning and her storytelling is just so impressive. I love the way that she orchestrates the plots in her stories and the plot in this series is just so cleve Holy Harbinger!

This paragraph is basically going to be me fangirling about Jennifer L. Armentrout's craft because she is just unrivaled in her writing. Her writing style grabs you from the beginning and her storytelling is just so impressive. I love the way that she orchestrates the plots in her stories and the plot in this series is just so clever and compelling. I love the original premise of this series and how Armentrout lends a new take on this popular trope. The world-building has the perfect amount of fantasy in a real-world setting.

The characters in this series are ones that will imprint on your heart. Since this series is a spin-off of The Dark Elements series, many of the characters are familiar faces. It is awesome seeing them again and seeing how they have changed since the ending of The Dark Elements series. The new characters are also incredible. I really took to Trinity right off the bat. She is so relatable and has such great characterization. I loved Zayne in The Dark Elements series and I so craved a series starring him so I was so happy to get this series. Zayne was such a complex character and I loved his character growth in the story. The secondary characters really make this series shine as well. The ensemble cast brings so much to the story.

I was head over heels for the romance in this story. Zayne and Trinity feel so much for each other and they have such intense chemistry with one another. They really have to figure out if they are willing to fight for a relationship even if it is forbidden. There was a lot of miscommunication between them in this book but it didn't come from a malicious place. They were each trying to deal with everything the world was throwing at them, pick up the pieces of their hearts from things that happened in the past, and still come to terms with the way they felt about one another and the ramifications that could occur if they gave in to those feelings. In the end, though, Zayne was so romantic and it really got me in the feels.

Overall, this is a book that packs on all the feels and leaves you absolutely mesmerized. No joke, I am on cloud nine right now. And that ending? I should be rioting right now. If this wasn't a series that was already completed then I might not have survived it. This is a series with a brilliant and twisty plot, unforgettable and relatable characters, a unique world, and a romance that will light your heart on fire. You need this book and the rest of this series in your life. Enough said.
