We’re going to be okay.
We’re broken, but we’ll rebuild.
If we can all get along, long enough to deal with this shit.

Who decides to get involved with so many guys and thinks it’s going to be smooth sailing?
Spoiler alert, it’s not.
The guys are totally going to start killing each other soon.

Lukas and Jensen can’t seem to figure their relationship out.
Skeeter and Marco might kill each other one of these days.
If it gets any worse, I might just kill them myself.

With the Devils and Psychos working alongside each other, things are calmer.
Well, other than the Psychos recruiting some newbies.
Oh, and Satan’s Soldiers are back in town with a new leader, so that’s just wonderful.

My guys keep showing me every day that this is real, and I’m so in love it’s gross.
Family has become everything to me, but I wish they’d let me handle my own shit.
It’s a shame there’s no hope at saving my sister from my revenge.
She dug her own grave.

I know I said red was my colour, but I’m getting pretty good at wearing orange.
Don’t cross me, it’s goddamn simple.


Ignite Me is a 111k word dark romance reverse harem novel. This is the fourth book in the series and it must be read in order. The first four books are Rory's, and the harem grows over those books. The series contains dark content such as abuse and rape. It also has slow burn m/m scenes throughout. There is a very small f/f scene in this book too. If you are triggered by sensitive content or cursing, this series is not for you.

3.75/3.8 ⭐️

Ignite Me is the final book for Rory and her harem’s story in Watch Me Burn series! The story starts off where Beautiful Deceit left off, giving that it ended in a cliffhanger.

I have mixed feelings when it comes to this book, not being really sure what to think. Given that this book ends Rory’s story, it actually wasn’t what I expected at all.

In this book we definitely see a big change in Rory, with her finally trying to pull it together and fix her relationships with her guys again. Seeing as how she treated them (before), only to then break things off with them in Beautiful Deceit.

Since a lot of the guys already had their stories told in the previous books, this story was a little more focused on the newer ones who still had yet to get their time to shine, which was S, Marcos and Diesel to be specific.

With that said, I can officially state after reading this book, I absolutely hated Diesel and Marcos.
In all honesty I felt Diesel (S too) seemed to give more of older brother/best friend vibes when it came to them and Rory’s relationship. And for that I wasn’t a fan of seeing their actual relationship play out. Plus there were somethings I hated that Diesel did. Yes, it sucked what he had been through and for that I felt bad for him. However, I absolutely hated him for what he did to Rory and the guys. I get his heart was in the right place, when he did what he did. However that didn’t mean he had the right to take away their choices or decisions. Since in the end not only did he hurt Rory because of it, but he made Rory think the guys didn’t care for her.
What made it even worse was how easily she forgave him for it! Like hello, if it had been any other guy(s) she would’ve made a bigger deal out of it and given that particular guy(s) so much smack!

Okay, so I absolutely hated Marco with a passion! I wanted him to die and not just because I despised him, but also because I hated what he did to Skeeter.
Honestly speaking I wasn’t keen on the Marco and Skeeter storyline, it felt like it came out of nowhere, doing a complete 180 to Skeeter’s character. It didn’t seem/feel right as he had always been portrayed a certain way, which didn't work with the Skeeter we knew him as. In all honesty the storyline with his new character portrayal seemed to appear out of the blue, so because of that it wasn’t even needed and seemed pointless.
The same for Marco, one minute we see him one way and then the next thing you know he did a complete 180, with having feelings and deciding he needed a relationship. It just seemed weird and didn’t fit well to me.
It almost felt like because most of the guys were portrayed as tough, R.E. just decided to choose some guys to make soft, even though it didn't go at all with how they had always been portrayed as. With Skeeter being one example, if anything had she chosen Hunter instead it would've made more sense given his past history.

There wasn’t really much to say about the other guys, since their stories had already been told. In which they were given their time to shine. Hence them being background characters in this book.

However, when it came to Lukas, I loved that he was finally able to overcome all his demons and finally give and put everything into his relationship with Jensen and take the final step in making it official for everyone to see. Him and Jensen made a cute couple for sure! Though once they established their relationship, it felt like they kind of kicked Rory to the curb, since they were all never really together much. For that I wasn’t sure how to feel.

My main issue with this book was the story! The fact that there didn’t seem to really be a solid plot, unlike the previous books. I expected so much more from this story, since it was suppose to be the closing chapter to Rory and her harem. Yet that wasn’t the case at all.
I actually expected a build up to an explosive showdown, yet nothing of the case happened. I felt considering crews played a big part in the storyline of this series, there would have been something big to come out of it. However, because the plot was mainly focused on Rory, her growing harem and their relationships. It meant the story was just filled with drama and conflict because of their issues, along with some of her newer friends. Plus her half sister Claire.
Compared to the first three books, Ignite Me felt like a let down to me.
Not to say it was a bad book, because it wasn’t as there was still drama, mystery and suspense, especially with secrets being revealed and getting answers to unanswered questions. However, there just no big explosion leading to the ultimate HEA, like I would’ve wanted.
Also because the harem was so big, I felt like the author may have struggled with giving all the characters a fair share of spotlight. Yes, the book was focused more on the new characters. But that didn’t mean the other characters weren’t allowed to have their time to shine.

With that said, I loved that Rory finally got the Happily Ever After she deserved, given everything she’d been through in her life. Sure there were some ups, downs, bumps, hurdles and blocks to get there, and sometimes she caused issues and/or created drama. But with all the fighting she did, she never allowed it to bring her down or even stop her from her final goal. She still deserved a happy family and life, that she never had when she was younger. And the fact that she always continued to try to stay strong and tough it out, regardless of how bad it got, proved even more how badly she wanted a HEA with her guys. Given what some of them went through too in their lives.

Overall, R.E. Bond still did a good job with Ignite Me. Finishing it off by giving the perfect HEA ending to Aurora Donovan and her harem, that was definitely worthy of them.
I would still recommend, especially if you read any of the previous books in Rory’s story in the Watch Me Burn series.

This is book 4 of Rory’s story. I fell in love with this series. I ugly cried basically throughout books 2 and 3 and was chomping at the bit for this one after finding out Slash. Is. Alive 😍😍
Unfortunately, for me this book did not do justice to the series as a whole. It lacked the storyline that drove me to devour books 1-3. It’s almost like there was a planned direction to the end of this series and it somehow changed midstream in favor of more boyfriends. There was hints in the second book that Diesel would die protecting his FRIEND Rory. No one likes to see their characters die, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to the story of how that came to be. And we never found out WHY the Soldiers were so obsessed with Rory. I wanna know. It was the driving force of the first 3 books, yet vanished in book 4. We also never found out why Slash thought he needed to fake his death for a few years. And he made it clear that was his intention. WHY THOUGH??? I also didn’t understand the severe flip in Jade’s personality and the subsequent hatred for Rory by both Jade and Lexi at the end of the book. It was out of left field and didn’t make sense to me.

I’m a HUGE RH fan, but it needs to be authentic. There were 2 guys who should have remained in the friend zone and I’m not sure of the purpose of taking them out of it. Skeeter needs to be booted from the relationship. End of story. There was absolutely nothing lovable about him by the end of this book.

The next and final book in this series is about Jade and I will definitely be reading it to find out some of those answers. Hopefully, I’ll find some of the answers left unanswered Rory’s story as well. Although this wasn’t my favorite book in this series. I have loved the series overall and look forward to seeing what happens with Jade.

I liked this book and the "for now" ending for Rory and her guys. It’s not 4 stars just because I felt like it was a lot of the same of the previous books, but overall it was enjoyable.

Another thing I really liked was how supportive Rory was of Luke and Jense she loved them both and accepted them. She even encouraged their relationship and helped them. It was nice seeing her doing that. I really like Rory.

Anyways, this was god and I’ll definitely read the rest in the series. Toodles!

After devouring the first three books , one after the other earlier this year. I couldn't wait for this instalment. Whilst isn't the last of this series, it's the last instalment of Rory's story. A girl who took over the town and made it light up in fire.
She never shied away from the drama and even if meant walking away. And she back better then even in this instalement.
With her guys all caught up in different drama. It seems a girl got to do the hard work around here and Rory shows me why she still one of the crazy fictional characters I have ever read. Bond puts her faith in Rory and let's her show us why we shouldn't given up on Rory at any time .

It's bittersweet but Rory has done herself justice and I can't wait to read more from this world.

***I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review***

I liked this book. It was good from the standpoint that I got to spend more time with these characters and explore their relationship dynamics more.

Unfortunately, I felt like this book lacked plot. It kind of just floated around and the issues between characters was supposed to be enough to keep us interested. Given that this is the largest book in the series, there just wasn’t enough to keep me interested for the whole book. A lot of the drama between characters felt forced and like what we’ve seen them argue about a million times before. They didn’t really grow at all and the emotional investment I had disappeared by the end.

I honestly feel like this whole book could have been cut and just maybe 10% could have been added to the third book and it would have been fine. Instead, we got this whole book with no plot, characters that just got into arguments for the sake of having a conflict, and sometimes had whole plot lines that seemed completely out of character (*cough* Skeeter *cough*).

Overall, this probably was my least favorite in the series. Finales do tend to be a miss for me though and I do still really love this series! I’m excited to see where this author will go next!

I have to know. Did ANYONE else loathe Rory? She was allowed to add anyone to her harem but none of “her guys” were allowed to go near another girl. Considering she was part of a gang…sorry “crew”… I just don’t see that they would constantly be ok w her constantly adding one more men. She was so hypocritical not to mention couldn’t take accountability for any of her actions and they let her get away with it constantly. I wanted to like this I really did. But I simply can’t stand her and don’t understand why not even ONE of the guys got to the point where they were like ya know what. This isn’t fair. I’m walking.

This has got to be by far the most outrageous reverse harem series I’ve read to date, and trust me I have read over a dozen. The plot of these books and the relationship developments just ahhh madness. Not one character actually evolves well in this story they are all insane. 10 people in the harem, 1 girl with 9 dudes and multiple M/M in gang world, it’s just too much some of them should’ve been dropped sorry not sorry and Skeeters character arc just ugh. He was my fav in book one but yeah not so much by the end, pure trash read, won’t be picking up any more from this author. Just cringe can’t even finish the rest of the series even tho Lexi seemed interesting.

Is it okay to cry? Because I might be. I’m so sad to finish Rory’s story, but it was the perfect ending.

Seriously, I loved this harem. I loved the characters. Rory was so badass and bag-shit crazy, but who wouldn’t be with her past???

And the guys, fuck I loved all of them. They treated Rory like the damn queen she was. There were a lot of guys to keep track of, but i felt like they all had their own unique personality and I loved them all equally.

Ignite Me picks up right where Beautiful Deceit ended and I was SO DAMN HAPPY. Like, jumping for joy, dancing around my living room, happy. IYKYK. Anyway, this harem was made complete here and my heart can freaking burst.

This book really focuses on all the loose ends and giving an amazing ending to Rory and her men’s story. It wasn’t rushed. The whole book kept you wanting more while leaving you so satisfied after each chapter. It was amazing that R. E. Bond was able to wrap this story up here while still adding in new characters for future books and giving them enough book time that you now know them and can’t wait to get to know them more.

I’m gonna miss this group so damn much, but i know this won’t be the last we see them. So excited for Perfectly Jaded!

Love, love, love! 🖤

“I’m down to start war over you.” - Skeeter 🖤

Love this series! It’s raw, dark and full of angst. One constant roller coaster of emotions right up until the end.

Skeeter’s words are golden, the guys would go to war for Rory in an instant. The chemistry was amazing once again. Their devotion to her, their interconnected relationships within the harem were a must to make one this size work.

Love Jensen and Lukas and feel there’s so much more behind their stories with hints dropped.

Definitely sad to read the end of the series. I would have been happy to keep reading for so much longer.

“I knew I‘d signed up for chaos and mayhem the moment I decided to get into a relationship with nine guys.” - Rory. This sums up one wild ride. 🖤

So I guess I've just finished the end of Rory's story. But I'm so sad to see it end. There's so much more that could have happened. I really wanted her to get knocked up lol. Come on nine guys? Of course she should have gotten knocked up. And the funny thing is is I really really wanted it to be Diesel's baby. Cuz that would have been just poetic.

So far this series is amazing. I love it. The girl that I absolutely hate is coming up next and I don't see myself actually giving a shit about her but I'm going to read the book anyway because this author is kick-ass and I want to finish the series.

As I've already said if you want to read a book that has an emotional roller coaster than this is the book series for you.

I am off to read book 5.

So this book starts literally where book 3 ended. Aurora aka Rory is officially trying to be better which is great cuz she was getting pretttttty crazy in book 3. She wants to make her relationships “official” again and essentially right her wrongs with her guys.

She makes her intentions known and sets all of her relationships up with the guys she wants. 9. There are 9 guys!

This book also marks the end of Rorys story so it closes most things out. With that, not all of the guys got the show time they deserved. Understandable with 9 guys, but still, I need more S (not gonna give away what S, lol) and Hunter in my life. Lol. Jensen and Luke finally get their happy ending together with that part of the relationship but I really felt like they closed themselves off from Rory. I wasn’t feeling their relationship anymore. It felt more like a MM, not a MMF with those three.

I was so disappointed with how the author went about Skeet and Marco. I looooooove Skeet and Marco and they were some of my favorites but I felt like the way the author went just changed the entire character look.

Rorys change to make things right and try to be better for her guys in no way affected her bada**ness. She was still the take no crap, trigger happy, woman we all loved. This book was still full of twists and turns I was not expecting. Some I loved, some not so much. Also can I just say I was realllllly hoping for some group lovin with this new custom made bed. Lol.

Overall, this book is a must read to close out Rorys story! She tones herself down and finally understands what she truly wants in her life. I need a bonus epilogue like yesterday, maybe 10 yrs later....omg can u picture them with children? Woah! I need that RE Bond! lol, what do you think?

I received an ARC copy of this book for my honest opinion.

*Overall 3/5
*Heat 5/5 never disappointed
*First person POV all main characters
*Both MM and MFM, MF
*No triggers compared to the other books in series
*HEA? Def HFN.....I need more! Lol

The title says it all when it comes to this book. Once that proverbial fuse is lit, there is sex all over the place. Seems like everyone is getting laid and hot damn it made my kindle smoke at times!

I was so happy to see how Rory’s arc wrapped up. Everything was pretty much resolved and the next arc was given a sufficient lead in which is nice. Overall I give this story a 4.25 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dark Scale rating: 5 - violence, scene where FMC is triggered, references to rape. Nothing overtly graphic or disturbing, but it may bother some.

Holy fucking shit Batman! That was a wild ride. I have been completely obsessed with this series and with RE since August of 2020! I have begged her and tried to bribe her, it didn’t work, for this book for freaking months! I’m so mind-blown that I am at a loss for words! Ignite Me is book 4 in the Watch Me Burn Series. We have been following Rory and her guys since March. The character development is just astonishing. Rory has changed so much since book 1 and her men have changed even better. Let’s just say that this book is extra steamy and I loved all of it. There was an epic plot twist at the end of book 2 which ended on a cliffhanger and another huge plot twist at the end of book 3, which also ended on a cliffhanger. If you’ve read the series you know how epic book 3 ended. RE is a genius with her words. I loved everything about this series and I was sad to see the end of Rory’s story. I’m excited to read Jade’s story next. Bravo RE brafuckingvo. Also, thank you for that delicious scene, I don’t even have to write what I’m talking about because if you’ve read the series, you would know exactly what I’m talking about!

And that’s a wrap folks. Rory’s story has come to an end. (insert sobs here)

Throughout the series Rory has faced her demons and conquered them. She found friendship and love in a not so conventional way. Yes she did go overboard at times, ok most of the time, but I couldn’t see her character any other way.

Rory’s story is the definition of #whychoose. She gets to be cozied up with all her guys. What makes RE Bond’s story stand out is that this was not just about Rory and her relationship with her harem, it’s also about members within the harem and their relationship. I loved watching relationships coming to light and new ones between the guys forming, although I have to admit one of those couplings I was totally not expecting.

But as always, Ms. Bond loves to throw those “didn’t see it coming” twists and turns our way. And *ahem* I think this was also the biggest harem I’ve read yet….9...9 yooooo they are going to need a PA to help keep them on schedule so everyone gets their time. Sorta makes me think of sister wives LMAO!!

Overall, an exceptional ending to a whirlwind of emotions series (well not the full series but you get what I mean). Wasn’t sure how Rory would get her HEA, one that she so deserves, but she got it times nine!! BAM!!!

AMAZING!

Every single book had me feeling like how can it get better? but It always does. This entire book was such a rollercoaster of emotions and drama. Rory being Rory still makes me want to punch her but also just hug her.i had my doubts after book 3 of how the heck a harem of 9 could even work, but it absolutely works. I can't wait until Jade's book,I'm going to miss Skeet and all the boys though. This will forever be one of my favorite series.

So, I will admit I did not want this one to end, so I took my time with it. I laughed, cried and yellled at my kindle whilst reading this. RE Bond has done these characters justice and I wont lie there were parts throughout this book that made me cheer.

Rory and her boys will always hold a special part in my heart. And I will say I still love Slash. I hate that this is the last of their story but you know you should never say never.

I loved how Rory developed and stared to open herself up to letting the boys be there for her. Her growth throughout this series has had me in awe and I would highly recommend you all read this series.

I am so sad to see Rory's story ending! i fell in love with all of her guys, but i must say Caden, Hunter and Slash had me feeling some type of way! The way Rory and her whole harem (9 men, whew!) interact and love was everything. I was so stoked to have Slash come back from the dead and their love story blossom. This book was truly a rollercoaster ride for me. Rory is crazy, yet cool as hell and a real badass. I would have liked to have her spend more time with Jensen, Lukas, Tyler and Caden instead of her priority being the crew mainly, but I can imagine its hard giving 9 guys your attention. I absolutely LOVED the m/m action and wouldn't have minded one bit reading more about that!!!! The prison scenes seemed a little out of reach and unlikely the amount of time she served for murdering her sister. But hey, it worked for this book! All in all, I loved this series and will definitely miss being a part of the Psychos and Devils. This is a reverse harem that contains dark content such as rape and knife play. If you have triggers or are content sensitive, this series may not be for you.

Ignite Me is book four in the Watch Me Burn series and wraps up Rory's story.

This book brought moments of closure but sets up the stories of the books to follow.

I enjoyed this series but think Rory's character could have used little more growth. Sex always being the go to resolution kind of got a little old for me. I became very much more interested in the other POV's and in the other relationships within the harem.
But the overall development throughout the series really did come together within the book. With the crews and the boys all blending into each others lives rather than being dived like how they began.

This reread has reminded me of events that happened and set up for the next books in the series that I'm yet to read. I'm interested to see where Jade and Lexi's stories take us.

I drank a lot of wine during this book, I’m not ashamed to admit it.

The emotional-roller-coaster, was perfect, yet..the same time it was too much; in book one, you saw she had many mountains to be climb, demons to be demolished, revenge to serve, and throughout the books, you saw her develop, into a strong, blood-thirsty kickass, with a marshmallow center.

These are darker than dark books, and when I say heed the warnings, I mean it...stuff happens and you will be a little blown away, same time shocked, thus the wine.

Ignite they did

Aurora is in for the shock of her life when she discovers that Slash is alive, having layed low to recover, but being their for her discreetly without her knowing, it also sends the other guys into a tailspin, when they also learn the truth, and they give him hell for putting them, especially Aurora through all that pain.

With the leader of the Satan Soldiers dead, there’s a change in leadership, members disbanding to make their own way, and when a new leader emerges, Axel, memories begin to stir for Aurora, only to be shocked to find out that he’s her uncle.

With Alex and Harley in the picture, Jade begins to go off the deep end, becoming dangerous and reckless, she’s been told time and again to tone it down, but with Lexi putting ideas into her head, leading her to make rash decisions, effectively leading to choices being made and friendships being severed.

Claire continues to be a nuisance to Aurora and her guys, still throwing her weight around like she’s queen bee, and when Caden enacts their plan, everyone is in shock as they watch it play out, but nothing is more shocking when Aurora takes matters into her own hands, after telling her guys time and again, that she’ll clean her own mess, leading to drastic consequences for Aurora.

Those consequences have a detrimental effect on Caden, Tyler, Jensen, Lukas, Slash, Skeeter, Hunter and Marko when it is discovered that they have all acted out towards each other, the only person keeping Aurora sane was Diesel. When Aurora is released there is a lot of penance and making up to do with her guys.

Nothing comes at more of a shock to Aurora when her aunt Miranda delivers documents to her, proving in fact that her father was well off, and chose to use her, so selfishly and horrendously, for his own gain, effectively destroying whatever life Aurora would have lived, sending her into a tailspin about what she’s going to do with her new found wealth.

The guys are concerned with Aurora, having to deal with more bullies in college, showing them that she is queen bee, giving them an insight as to who she is, but the confronting part is when they make her feel, opening her up to accept her feelings towards everything that has happened, accepting what was to what is, brining her a semblance of peace.
This book has triggers so may not be for you.
This book has it all dark romance, bro-mancing, murder, madness, mayhem, revenge, vengeance, violence, adrenaline seeking suspense, twists, turns, truths and betrayal.
This story is told from multiple POV, it will take you on a wild ride, having you turn page after page. This book had me from beginning to end. This author definitely knows how to write and I’ll be coming back for more.
And those s*x scenes were steamy, it had all the angry angst, hate and passion one would except when you have nine guys to please every single day.
Aurora’s relationship with Caden, Tyler, Jensen, Lukas, Slash, Skeeter, Diesel, Hunter and Marko is a piece of work, but they all work together in there own way, because nothing and no one will get between Aurora and all of her alpha dominating, controlling, yet overly possessive guys.
She loves them and they love he, regardless of all their differences, because they are all in this together, for life!
Am sad to see Aurora’s story end with her nine guys, but it was definitely a bittersweet ending and happily ever after well deserved for all of them.
Onto book five Perfectly Jaded.

ugh. I'm partially disgusted with that ending....this book is just more of the same old from book 2 and 3... what happened to the storytelling in book 1? I want that author back. :-( It was so fast paced and exciting, and then these last 3 books were all just Rory being a troublemaker, making bad decisions, being too headstrong to listen to others, and constantly getting into trouble (or finding herself in troublesome situations.

Even once we find out some really good news, I can't even like it because Rory is instantly thrown back into to something stupid...usually on her own accord. And to top it off, we get constantly teased into thinking the relationships are going to evolve into something bigger ... like the author was trying to build up to some big orgy or something, and most of the book just ends up being the characters talking about how they did stuff together, or relaying what others were doing very briefly. Am I the only one feeling jaded (no pun intended there) that the first book was so epic that the latter 3 didn't live up to it? I felt like the characters were so natural together in that book, and then it was just a bunch of nonsense in book 2-4. Like, it didn't feel the same...I didn't feel for the characters anymore. It's like the author forgot to continue building chemistry between them and opted to just give us a bunch of Rory-problems and a bunch of half-spoken intimate conversations.

On top of all that, the ending was so abrupt! Like literally, we finally get into the last relationship and then BOOM, epilogue. And it's not even a good epilogue, ... lame. With how much they're supposed to love her I expected fireworks, a wedding, a baby, a death, an orgy ...SOMETHING! But nope.

--Rating - 2 stars - frustrated with the continuation of Rory-problems and lack of continued character development and chemistry.
--Steam - 2 stars - lacking in comparison to book 1. While there are still intimate scenes, most of it is simply someone saying 'oh they're banging' or 'yeah, they can't get enough of each other'.
--Storyline - 2 stars - what happened to how well the author built things up in book 1. I was so enthralled in that book, and it was like book 4 was just a bunch of statements of things happening.

This is book 4 and the ending to Watch Me Burn series..
I knew it would take me a couple days to put my thoughts together. I knew this last book in this unforgettable series would affect me greatly. I knew it would be EPIC. It was one of my most anticipated reads so far this year and it was undeniably fantastic. I knew I would cry, because the cliffhanger told me I would ;) We see Rory finally realize that she can have a HEA. Of course it wont be a straight road. No it will be hot, bloody, steamy but everything she needs.

The way this last book started told me that I was in for the ride of my life. It was epic.I was not ready but was so happy for her to know she wasnt crazy for what she was seeing...We see her realize that she needs all of her guys and it made me so happy because it was who I wanted for her. They all give her something that she needs. Rory is a very complex girl, but with very simple needs. She needs trust, love, and loyalty..OK and S*X. We know she needs that too..She is finally healing and I loved that she seemed so much happier in this last book. I loved how alpha all her NINE yes you heard me NINE men are but it works. I love that she helps them just as much as they help her. Their brokenness makes her whole. I was not prepared for her to be in an orange jump-suit again but I loved how unpredictable that was..

This last book was about growing as a group, figuring out how to move forward from the crews coming together. Its action-packed, with alot of surprises and twists and I was there for it. I loved that it was a longer book, I kept looking at the percent thinking YES im only at 45%. I started it and finished it in one sitting and I am so glad I did. Rory is damaged, but she is one of the strongest people. Shes a survivor and I am so happy that I got to meet her and her guys. I was also so excited about what she received from her Aunt Miranda and the way that her aunt finally accepted her. That was a epic surprise. And i have to say Marco is still my favorite..:)

Thank you Rachel for this fantastic ending to a unforgettable, emotional, epic journey. I cant wait to see where they go from here and to get to know the other characters better. I want to kick Jades and Lexis A** but will save that for the next series...A MUST READ. However i will mention this series does have many triggers, Read the warnings!!!!
