I'm starting to really love this series now! The romance is a little weird to me but that's probably because I'm hoping for a different pairing than what we're getting. I do wish certain plot points moved a little faster because I'm tired of seeing the same conversations over and over. I'm really interested in Trent and hope we get to see more of him! (

Rachel just can't keep herself out of trouble (

After the second in this series, I was hesitant to pick up the third, but since I enjoyed the first so much and because of a certain demon contract that Rachel had to get herself out of, I went ahead and read it. I'm glad I did. The ridiculous tension with Ivy has been put aside for the most part, and Rachel gets some actual character development. I was annoyed at some of the peripheral characters, however. Without giving too much away, let me just say that I hope Harrison doesn't introduce random safety button characters in the next couple of books. Overall, a solid read, and one that I enjoyed. (

Oof this one was rough. I accidentally saw some reviews while reading and I have to agree: too much boyfriend nonsense. I didn't care for Kisten, never did, so having him so much in this story irked me.

Still some seeds that will grow into plotlines in later books are in this story so that was cool.

Ivy and her sister being called exotic... Big: Oh No. (

Epigraph

Dedication

To the guy who gave me my first pair of handcuffs. Thanks for being there.

First words

I took a deep breath to settle myself, jerking the cuff of my gloves up to cover the bare patch of skin at my wrist.
