Wow, this series was everything I wanted and more! I loved seeing the Breakers and Pen’s love blossom after all the things put in front of them to keep them apart. I didn’t want the story to end but I was excited for all the spinoffs because we got some amazing side characters and cameos in this series, some we already fell for so hard (like Grim and Beast!). I am so excited for Encore, but I know crying will ensue, just because of how much I love these characters and this world and I never want to leave!
We get the resolutions we had been hoping for. After the shocker at the end of Breakers, we see how Pen and the crew have to come together to take down the big baddies and keep everyone safe in the process. Pen and the guys have a huge emotional rollercoaster. We get more sexy time with Pen and them (YES TO GROUP SCENES, HOT TUB SCENES AND MORE!) but I appreciate they are focused on Pen’s pleasure above themselves (I hope the author explores that more maybe in Encore…one can hope haha). I think the steam was perfect and it was well-balanced with the plot. We get more from Arden and the DD guys (who will play a big part in this one and then get a couple books with them in it in the future), the adorable moments between Grim and Beast, more drama at the school, more amazing dances and love shown between the main characters.
This book was high-octane, the reveals were done so well, the twists kept me on the edge of my seat, the love between Pen and her Breakers was magical, and to see them create this found family was beautiful. The ending is heartpounding and I won’t give it away, just know they get their HEA and we get a sneak peak into the next book in the shared world (which was The Masks duet btw). And again like I said the side characters stole the show at some points (which is not a complaint whatsoever, I loved them to pieces and the villains were done well/evil so I appreciated their place in this story haha) and I cannot wait to see if Lena and her bodyguard maaaaaaybe become a thing. The sparks of something maybe starting in this one. Only time will tell if more things happen haha.
The narration was good again, nothing different than what we got in the other 3 books of the series. I would definitely re-listen to them in the future, especially when I want to revisit this sensational and comforting world (despite all the tribulations, the families and relationships really seal the deal for me and I can’t not love them all). Narration was 4-4.5 stars with all the emotion, especially the devastation in the beginning of the book and then the tense and scary scenes at the end for everyone.
5/5 will recommend every time! Love this series and this author is a 1-click author for me <3
