Giggling and kicking my damn feet this whole book. I was so hesitant to start this series because of all the bad reviews and man am I glad I didn't listen. While this was not the best book that I've ever read, it was such a fun read (way better than Lightlark in my opinion). I've been having a hard time sitting down and reading recently, and this book is the first one in a while that I've had to force myself to put down. 

I absolutely loved the flashbacks and how they were incorporated into the story because it just made me love Grim even more. With that being said, I do wish that their relationship developed a bit slower. It felt as if there was a long period of hating each other, a small period of them being friendly ish, and then they were in love. Overall, I did really enjoy Nightbane and the way that the story is developing.

I NEED the third book to come out in paperback ASAP because after that ending I am DYING!!!
