So, when I started this series it was just a random audiobook pull from the library. And now it is taking up a HUGE portion of my mental space because my god this book is good. 

The characters give me the warm fuzzies, and I want Jacqueline as a BFF. 

The relationship between Thea and Julian has me swooning (and equally frustrated) because I'm invested in them. 

I swear if this series doesn't end in an HEA I will riot. I also need books on all the brothers and Jacqueline. 

Geneva Lee Albin is easily become a favorite author of mine.

That ending had my jaw physically dropping. OMG. Another one by Geneva that was SO FUN. I am eating this series up like none other. The only negative thing I have to say is his ‘I will protect you and stay by your side always! Jk leaving is clearly the best way to save you bye beetch’ that back and forth I found a little annoying but also a little funny tbh. But truly I had so much fun with this book, there were more twists and turns, more action, and now I’m gonna go dive into book three!

Read this in a day, it was so enjoyable! 

I really like the style of writing, and the chemistry and humor that runs through the narration. There are some tropes here that make the story somewhat predictable in places

tropes include: fated mates, chosen family

, though overall I'm really enjoying the world-building and the twists in the plot. 

Spice is a bit more than book one, but not overwhelming... 2/5, I would say. But the flirty banter is adding some icing here.
