First things first, I did not receive an ARC. Amazon delivered my paperback preorder several days early.

Spoiler Free

Now, WOW.

Slade is definitely in his Villian era and I’m here for it.

There were a few theories I had. A couple came to be. Yay me! While others I didn’t see coming. But ugh this one had me in my feels. The whole way through. The fact that this is the fifth book in this series and RK is still able to pull these kinds feelings out of me is wild. I’ve never been so invested in a couple before and Slade and Auren have had my entire attention when I first met them 2 years ago.

I can see why there will be a 6th book. Definitely too much story left to tell.

Excited for Goldfinch is an understatement.

“I promised her I’d be the villain on her behalf. So that’s what I’ll fucking be.”

I love his rotten side, but he has a heart of gold just for me.”
