I am so happy

That's I held on. There are so many twists and turns and this book is so well written. I love it. It's great.

A whole new series in the Immortal Vices and Virtues world but this time... RH-style. OMG, yes, please!

Worldbuilding:
As I've just said, we return to a world we know and love. This time we move between No Man's Land (Shifter Syndicate territory) and the Earth and Emerald faction.
Scenes and environments were clear and well described, and there was no information dump. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the story :)

Character development:
Nikki, our main female character, is the daughter of the Shifter Syndicate boss. While she is a syndicate princess, she hates how things are run. When she finds out she will be a pawn in her father's bid to take over the Earth and Emerald faction, she decides to take matters into her own hands. She is a Disney lover, and almost all her plans are derived from one of the animated movies. Which, I can tell you, sometimes leads to hilarious situations (and a lot of headaches for Sam, her best friend and guard). Her past has been terrible, leaving her emotionally wounded, even years later.

When they were younger, Malachi was Nikki's best friend until he ran and left her alone.
Niall is working towards meeting his mate again with the help of his best friend, Adrian.
When all four meet again, sparks fly... but then, so do fists :D
As this is the first book with a reverse harem in a world where that isn't 'normal', it's interesting to see how they're handling the situation (not only in this book but throughout the series).
Throughout the book, we learn a lot about the characters, changing everything we thought we knew and creating those twists and turns we love in books! All of the characters were well-written, and they felt believable and alive. Oh, and they're fun... so much fun.

Pacing and flow:
From start to finish, I was having fun and stayed interested and engaged with the book. Great balance between all the conversations and action. Be warned, it has a lot of pages, and you will be hooked... so plan some time to get through this :D

The book:
The book was well written with no (noticeable) errors. There are sexual scenes described (if that is important to you). I would rate it
… (mer)

I think this is the best book by these authors that I have read to date!

Worldbuilding:
When several gates appeared on earth, the supernatural got outed, there was war, humans lost, and the world now belongs to the Houses. Very refreshing that a House wasn't 'only' vamps or shifters or withes or whatever, but it could well be a mix of everything. The Houses seem to have an uneasy truce, and as always, things can't stay that way forever.
This instalment was about House "Fire and Fluorite" and "Blood and Beryl". While we know a bit about the world, there is still much I am dying to discover in the following books! But for this instalment, we gradually had all the information fed to us, so no information dump at the worst possible time! All scenes and environments were clear and well detailed.

Character development:
Dannika (or Danni to her friends) has not had an easy life. A shifter that cannot shift. Luckily, she has Nova, her wolf that is always by her side (which, in my opinion, is way better!). Unfortunately, this meant that in the predominantly shifter House, she was bullied a lot. So when her fated mate ended up being the Alpha's son and the worst bully of them all, she rejects him, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand shit hits the fan.
Elias, the King of House Blood and Beryl, a vampire, was at the event when Danni refused her mate. He's intrigued by her and seems to end up everywhere she does. How strange...
All kidding aside, these two had a lot to overcome, communication issues being one of them, but you couldn't help but root for them from the get-go! They grew throughout the story, Danni finding herself and her place in the world and Elias finding the one thing he thought he never wanted.

Pacing and flow:
The authors took their time, lettings the story unfold as it wanted without getting lost in itself. Pacing and flow were excellent; the story grabbed you from the start, and while it did let you breathe once in a while, it didn't let go till the end. I read it in one sitting, and I regret nothing!! :D Great balance between all the action and conversation moving the story forward.

The book:
The book was well written with no (noticeable) errors. There is a lot of sex described (if that is important to you). I would rate it

Worldbuilding:
This final instalment starts where the previous book ended, and it really sets the tone for the rest of the story! Oh, but wait, there is something I actually nearly forgot! Nat gives us a quick recap at the start, you know, in case you forgot something important. I love it when authors do this!! I read so many series, and sometimes it just gets a little jumbled. So yeah, big thanks, Kel!
Storylines and conversations all made perfect sense and scenes and environments were clear and well detailed.

Character development:
Piper has taken up the mantle of Queen of New Chicago, and now she has to deal with what that means, some good things, but mostly just really, really nasty stuff and politics. With the introduction of Lorcan, she's facing the worst threat yet, and some surprises along the way will not make this any easier for her.
Ronan, our beloved Atman, has changed so much over the series. While he is showing a softer side lately, dare to threaten what he considers his, and you'll see why he is the Harvester. When Lorcan shows up, he needs to deal with his past mistake and protect those he loves, or he might just end the world(s).
And then we have Bree, Nathalie, Sasha, Sienna, and so many, many more. I just love these characters; they're all so alive and well fleshed out! I'm hoping we're getting more series set in this world, as I want to know how it goes for all of them!

Pacing and flow:
From start till finish, this is a rock-solid instalment, never too much and never too slow. Such amazing writing!

The book:
The book was well written with no (noticeable) errors. There are sexual scenes described (if that is important to you).
The book has 343 pages, spread over 39 chapters, and is told from multiple points of view, though Piper's first and foremost.

Final thoughts:
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book, and all in all, I took my sweet time reading it, enjoying every moment. It was such a great series. I highly recommend it! This last book really brought everything together and made it bump up from really good to one of my favourite series.
