You can skip this one. 

You want to purchase this book because you need to definitely see Willem & Allyson get their happy ending, right?

Well how about if I give you these lines - 

"They Don't even take the Key out of the lock.

They Don't even make it off the floor.

A year is a long time to wait."

 

or this..

"Her hand is drifting down under the covers. Willem is glad she steered him away from the three pack."

 

Honestly those last few pages (last 3 pages) are all you really need. The rest of the story jumped POV too quickly and didn't feel right.

I liked the first book, Addicted To you . The reason why I liked it was because Lo makes me think of "Chuck Bass". So I'm guessing the reason why I didn't like this book is because it's missing Lo.  The one scene that he was really in, was Good!

But still, I hate when one character that made me like the first book is MIA in the second. I knew this before reading, but didn't think it would be such a big deal.

The writing seemed very immature. I didn't like the interactions between characters. and I really don't like the idea that Daisy & Ryke will be together down the road. 

All I can say is

I think I wanted more out of this book. The writing felt like it was for younger YA, but the story line could have been great as NA. I saw a lot of hot scenes playing in my head that just didn't happen in the book.

This would be a pretty good TV series. One girl hiding with four guys, all different personalities. 

Because it was a nice fast easy read, and I liked the characters, I'll be reading the next book.

p.s.

If your looking for an adult series about people who have been "altered" and have certain talents, then try Ann Aguirre's (writing under the name Ava Gray) Skin Series.

Skin Game

Skin Tight

Skin Heat

Skin Dive

It took me 10 days to read this. Ten days. 

Does this trilogy wrap up, was it worth reading? Yes.

Now ask me why it took me so long to read this book. Answer: I have no clue. It seemed like every page had lots of info on it and so every page took me twice as long to read.

 There's a new character in this book. I know she was needed to wrap things up, but I think that's why I just wasn't in a rush to finish this one. I wasn't devouring it like I did the other two. Every time Akiva or Karou were on the page it quickly switched to Eliza's pov.

It seemed like there was all this new stuff going on , but nothing was going on. (I hope that makes sense)

I did happen to mark several pages:

"Hello, they'd said then, like a whisper incantation. Hello, like a promise.

Hello, breath to breath.

The last breath before the first kiss."

 

"Having hope was like dangling himself over a chasm and putting the rope in her hands. She could annihilate him if she wanted to." - pg 201

 

"Skin and forever made a potent combination..." - pg 228

 

"My wife likes to say that the mind is a palace with room for many guests. Perhaps the butler takes care to install the delegates of Science in a different wing from the emissaries of Faith, lest they take up arguing in the passages." - pg 274

 

 

"They wish pointless wishes, and let their what-ifs fall to the ground with the corpses."

 

"In the legends, chimaera were sprung from tears and seraphim from blood, but in this moment they are, all of them, children of regret." pg 309

 

"Ice and ending. The instant froze, impossible. Unthinkable. True.

Your entire being can become a scream." pg 457

For those people that feel this book is just too long and you must know what the heck is Razgut. Skip to page 464. That's his chapter.

**Edit* Just read an interview with Laini Taylor over at The Guardian. I don't know If I knew this or not, but Universal Studios has bought the film rights to Daughter of Smoke & Bone!
