so fun to get back into this series! i love the overarching mystery in each book but how each one delves into specific characters and plots. i FELT for gemma in the beginning and i was unsure how barnabus would come back from that but i would say he groveled a good amount. besides the lowkey random nature of uncovering his feelings, it was a solid romance between the two. the cliffhanger was also crazy! only one more to go!
