Oh my god. 

Xander is a little shit: he’s definitely a brat. But watching his third act in this amazing sickeningly fantastic novel is more than i could have ever asked for.

THIS is how you bring a series to a close. THIS BOOK is everything that i didn’t know I needed when I picked up Throne in the Dark for the first time.

I won’t post spoilers, but my GOD

what to expect 👇🏻

🧡 she’s everything and he’s just pathetic (and he knows it)
🩸 good boy
🧡 found family
🩸 villain redemption 
🧡 she makes him say “please”
🩸 he actually does it
🧡 himbo MC
🩸 badass, brat tamer FMC
🧡 callbacks to other books in the series 
🩸 she asks “who did this to you?”
🧡 poor xander and his mommy issues

i’ll say - the spice in this book was TOP NOTCH. someone needed to put xander in his place and who better to do it than a smoking hot apothecary. 

this book is part of the Villains and Virtues series, and I truly believe that it COULD be read as a standalone, but I also think it means SO MUCH MORE if you read it following the V&V series (you wont regret that series either)

i loved loved loved the chance to get a copy of this closing chapter of V&V, and I am so happy to leave this review and tell everyone to READ THIS BOOK
