I find myself falling harder and harder for each of Ariel guys.\u00a0 We get to see her relationships grow with the guys and her father.<\/p>\n<p>Ariel is finally in a good spot she found her true family. These guys will do anything for her, anything to make her happy and protect her which is something she has never had in her lifetime. She is building relationships with all her guys and even her dad. She has a job she loves at Fortune&#8217;s for the Unfortunate.<\/p>\n<p>Ariel loves each of these guys and finds that she is just as overprotective of her guys as they are of her. She will do anything to keep them from hurting even if it means she hurts herself. There are some new characters introduced in this book some are going to be a good thing for Ariel and her family and others could be deadly for them.<\/p>\n<p>Just like with Ariel I am falling more and more in love with each of these guys. Even though Ariel is closer to some of her guys than the others I am enjoying her learning more things about each one.\u00a0 I have to say I love when I get to see a different side of one of them I never saw before.<\/p>\n<p>I am so ready for the next book. There are so many new developments and I want to know were things are going to go. I also want to see these relationships grow and evolve.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png?resize=230%2C50\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I received this book from the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>Friends\u2026..This book\u2026.Jesus\u2026.so much happens.\u00a0 We finally see Ariel and the guys taking things \u201cto the next level\u201d. \u00a0We learn more about the council and just how effing awful they are\u2026.why I was shocked I have no clue.\u00a0 We get at few more twists and turns thrown at us but most of all, we see the coven tightening up and getting ready for a war of sorts!!!\u00a0 Dude this book I told you was insane!!!<\/p>\n<p>Dude this book!!\u00a0 First up, yes things progress for Ariel and some members of the coven but what I loved was her flat out admitting her fears about intimacy with some of the guys.\u00a0 I loved seeing the guys reassure her she is it and they are good with how thing progress.\u00a0 But I Floved hearing words being declared between Ariel and the guys!!\u00a0 Seriously this was a step in the right direction for everyone!!<\/p>\n<p>The council\u2026.man oh man\u2026we get a new council member who will be a good person for our coven to confide in but we also see the council being shady AF which is pretty much what they do right???\u00a0 The stuff they stir up during a dinner party\u2026.grrrrrr\u2026\u2026.things are not going to be smooth for Ariel and the guys but Damn Uncle Q didn\u2019t punch anyone??\u00a0 Could he be settling down now that the has his girl?\u00a0 LOL\u00a0 RIGHT!!!
