I really enjoyed this book. I was glad to find that reading it as a physical copy was just as enjoyable as listening to the others as audiobooks. I had been worried because the audiobooks were so fun to listen to, and I thought the dynamic might be different reading it written. 

I think I wanted a little something different from Xander, maybe more gumption (can't quite put my finger on it), but I was overall quite happy with this side quest addition to the main storyline. I felt like some things related to the FMC were left a bit unexplored, but it was a pretty short book, so that's probably why.

Xander turns into a softie in this one and it’s so wonderful to see his sad, abused heart be loved.

Perfect ending to one of the most unique series. It has it all - humor, fantastic plot, amazing characters, and tons of breaking the fourth wall.

As much as I hated Xander in the earlier books, it was nice to see him get his own book. It was nice Xander’s self obsession stems from lack of attention and love from his mother. And that’s all he wants- love. It’s an interesting journey to watch him slowly morph from a self-absorption brat to someone who not only desires to be wanted, but deserves to be wanted. Even though he’s a jerk. I really appreciate how Caggiano throws in some really thoughtful, deep themes into each of her books. This was no exception.

The new characters were a delight. The plot was fast and fun. Imps are my favorite. I’m upset this is the last book, but it went out with a bang. Thank you A. K. Caggiano for the gifted eARC. All thoughts are my own.
