    Your reaction to Hunt and Bryce being interrupted constantly is literally me! It was killing me!!! I was so emotional when Lehabah died! Like literally devastated!! Omg if she changes the love interest I'm gonna be so sad!! But then again las time she changed love interest I got Rhys so who knows!!

    The Lehabah part nearly killed me. I kinda wish Syrinx use his teleporting power to save her since he wasn't that physically hurt. Also Bryce was savage af when she vacuumed Micah's ashes and dumped them in the garbage 😂

      I PRAY THEY ARE ENDGAME BECAUSE GIRL I WILL BRING OUT THE TORCHES WITH YOU! she gave them so many notable moments that shows that they deserve to be together (specifically the scene at the end where Bryce was making the drop and he was literally acting as her lifeline) also HE GOT HIS WINGS CUT OFF FOR HER. if this isn’t love then what is???

    I binged the absolute hell out of this and loved every minute of it. I’m so excited to see where this goes since it’s definitely giving me hunger game vibes. With the amount of power Bryce has to the point of being stronger than the autumn king and having the horn with the ability to literally close doors to hell, she is a huge threat to the Asteri. We really see that when the Mica situation gets aired to the entire Summit and she refuses to leave behind her Lower creature friends and confessed her freeing of Lehebah in those moments. The fact that a half human had the ability to kill an archangel even before her drop shows exactly how much of a threat she is. We clearly see the Asteri acknowledging that through the phone she receives at the end. I’m so excited to watch her and Hunt take on this “democratic” Hierarchy! We already see that Hunt is still able to slide into his commanding leadership as a general and the hope Bryce can bring to people when she went to defend the weakest in the city rather than save herself. The war that is to come is going to be absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to see the dynamics that will play out in a world with so many different species. We had a tiny glimpse of that in ACOWAR but the species in this series actually play vital roles in this rather than just background.

    Yes, I definitely did not read the synopsis & got my poor little heart broken! 💔💔💔 But I’m glad I didn’t read it because the emotional impact was worth it. I was happy to see Danika at the end. I kind of thought she would come back somehow, so I liked how that played out! I’ve always wanted to shoot at a range like that. I liked how it was like: “okay, I see you.” Yeah, the scene where they went to Sabine’s house was INTENSE! It was hurtful to read! 🥺💔💔 Omygosh, whatever! Your bun is cute! :) Omygosh! Yes, the shower scene was sooo good! ☺️✨✨ Yeah, this is definitely my favorite book of 2020! I’m gonna say that this & The Nevernight Chronicles are my fave adult books that I’ve read since coming back to reading! Girl! I lost my mind when the cut off Hunt’s wings! 😭😭😭 I wanted Sabine & Amelie deeeaaaddd! Okay, SJM was playing with my emotions with that love scene before Hunt was buying the synth! Like, come on! Really???!!! I told myself there had to be a logical explanation for Hunt buying the synth...but I still felt so bad for Bryce having her meltdown about everything! Omygosh! When she went to try & save him! 😭💕💕 *Gasps* Becca! How dare you not give Danika the benefit of the doubt! How dare you! 😒😂😂 That reveal/confession was one of the best reveals I’ve ever read! I couldn’t believe (I mean, I could because he was the devil) he threw him in the tank either! Yes! Books as weapons! Omygosh! When she sacrificed herself & said her first act of freedom was to save them! 😭😭😭 Then she kept saying that phrase over & over! 😭😭😭 Yeah, when she drank the antidote, I was so happy! I’m not gonna lie, I did underestimate Bryce throughout the book at first just because she didn’t have the Danika type of swagger, but she really won me over! I was thinking “here comes the calvary” as they were all getting together to go get her! ☺️✨✨ I was so happy that she had powers because it was like the underdog bastard daughter that everyone treated like trash is waaay more than you could have ever imagined! Omygosh! I freaking loved that!💕💕💕 Yeah, girl, I was like...so they’re just not gonna do it at all? I’m not gonna lie tho...I wasn’t into them doing it right after the battle. It didn’t feel like the timing was right on that. Yeah, I’ll be really sad & disappointed if Bryce & Hunt don’t work out because of a new love interest (that would drive me insane) or the death of Hunt. I’m am interested to see where this series will go. I also wonder if the new book will focus on new people but still have the whole gang in the background...especially since there are different houses. This book exceeded my expectations! I literally LOVE it so much!💕💕💕 Thanks for introducing me to this! 🤗🤗🤗 Well, you’re probably asleep (but you never know because you be up all night sometimes 😂😂😂). Love yooouuu!💕💕💕 Happy Reading! 🤓📚✨

    I can’t believe there was no proper sex scenes in this one. Annoyed me a bit. If she turns Hunt into a bad guy, I’ll be so pissed. I love him. Lehebah was awesome and so many giggly moments with her. But the Micah reveal blew me away. Omg. I have to say, ACOMAF is still my preference personally. I’ve rated HOEAB 4 stars for the time being, it may change, but that’s it for the time being. I think I would have liked more from the romance, tbh.

    I was freaking out throughout the whole book! I didn't know I love Lehabah so much and that ending had me freaking out. I'm grateful there wasn't and insane cliff hanger but also 100% think the reference to two ancient gods who were a power couple towards the beginning of the book Cthona and ? are hunt and Bryce...also think book 2 we'll find out there is going to be war or major discourse with the Asteri... Aida's the prince of hell and Bryce will have some weird history or connection because he told her to contact him when she dropped so and has literally been watching her since she was a child so....

I could hardly put the book down during those pages. I wonder what part Ithan (is that how you spell his name?) Connor's brother I am talking about. And boy I am so in love with Hunt and Rhun. But so far Bryce I am freaking in love with. And I am very straight. I definitely have a crush on Bryce, and think she's a freaking badass. I also want to know what is going on between Bryce's boss and Aidas. And I really love the world and the characters. And I even loved a lot of the bad guys in this book. Because they didn't feel flat or one dimensional.

    For GOOD urban fantasy instead of the teen crap hole that is Shadow hunter check out books by Ilona Andrews (Hidden Legacy and Kate Daniels series) Kalayna Price (Grave witch series), Rachel Aaron (Heartstriker series, Jim Butcher (Dresden Files series), Thea Harrison (Elder Races series) K.F. Breene (just all of her series) there are also books by Faith Hunter and Patricia briggs that are good but a little too same note from book to book for me.

    This was my first SJM and I DNFed (sorry!) I found that there was so much swearing it was uncomfortable. I’m definitely not a prude about that, but no one swears that much. Same with the partying, like all the main characters do is party and I know some people do buttttt I’ve never met someone THAT obsessed with partying.
    It seemed like bc it was her first adult book she was like ´OMG they can swear and drink and fuck around finally Im going to write ALL the debauchery!!!’ I wish she would have toned it down. It made it unrealistic and I could just not relate at all

    I really didn’t like Hunt. As a character he was okay but as a love interest he just didn’t seem to match up to Bryce. It seemed like he was between alpha male and wimp. Bryce is loyal to a fault and Hunt is almost the opposites I just didn’t vibe with him as someone with enough will power to do what is right for Bryce.
