Riveting to Read
This was so exciting to read and full of great battles in this book. The story is amazing and so well written by the author. The book covers the challenges of the intricacies of how the gargoyle world and their politics work and their distain for humans are. And the gargoyle leaders show Jesse first hand their willingness to make a point of mockery of her and Austin shows his true nature as an Alpha and shuts them down in humility. It’s not as funny as the other books but it does have some humor in it. The book is very well written and has lots of great elements that are sure to keep you engaged in reading and entertained until the very end. I can’t wait to read the next book. I hope you read this book because it is so good and explains why the gargoyle world is so important for the next chapter of the story.

Very good read
Interesting plot lines and a rather unique set of fantasy Individuals and species . Characters are well developed and believable . After finishing one book, I simply cannot wait to get to the next one!

enjoyed it, but it dragged a little.
This is a fun series. This book gained a number of new and interesting characters, but keeping them all straight got in the way of the story.

Fantastic story and characters!!
Another wonderful addition to this series. There is a lot happening in this book so it’s hard to talk about it all. It was very entertaining though. The ending had me rocking back and forth in my chair with anticipation. I loved it. Jessie, of course, proves her worth. Naomi is a new addition and her interaction with the crew is hilarious. Tristin is also new and very mysterious, with secrets. I really liked both characters. About a third of the book is in other characters’ POVs. A lot of them being Nessa’s. Not sure how I felt about the frequency of her POV. It was a little like we were missing out on Jessie and what she was doing. This doesn’t happen often in Breene’s books but there were, what felt like important, occasions that I would have liked to thoroughly read through but the story either skipped ahead or went to Nessa’s POV and what she was up to. i.e. the first dinner meeting with the cairn leaders. Anyway, overall, I loved this story. The book was fantastic and I didn’t even care that there was very little romance to it. That kind of fits with the storyline. Normally, that’d bother me but this book will keep you engaged with so many other things. Once again, these characters are my favorites and are one of a kind. The story is so entertaining. I cannot wait till the next book.

Nessa and FILF for the win!
Yes, yes, yes, yaaaaassssssssssssss!!!!!!All hail Breene. This book was gold, no scratch that; PLATINUM!!!!I’m over doing it with the punctuation marks, but emphasis must be made about how this book more than made up for the snooze fest that was book six and has restored the epic goodness of this series.Where do I even begin?Tristan and Nessa better be end game, I wasn’t too keen on her and Broken Sue because he clearly needed to come to terms with all the trauma that plagued him and Nessa shouldn’t have to take on that baggage considering what we knew of her and Sebastian’s origins. It wouldn’t be a great relationship and I don’t want to entertain idealist thoughts about how Jessie healed Austin (it’s no where near the same as Austin healed himself and rose to the occasion to help Jessie be better, not the other way around). Enigmatic Tristan with a mean streak suits Nessa way better and they recognize that they can be their true selves with one another. Pairings like that forge a much better bond.This book had so much going for it, I can’t even begin to recount it all. Although I missed the Mr. Tom and Niamh banter, getting to spend more time with the lesser members of the Ivy crew was worth it.Although this book followed the formula that I’ve come to recognize; Jesse worries, Jessie meets with people who may help, people sneer or aren’t quite ready to help, big battle ensues, original people she appealed to still don’t want to help, followed by getting much better help from unlikely place; and I was hanging off every single word!All in all, as much as I thought book 6 was a waste of words, in hindsight I think it made it possible to enjoy this book way more than I would’ve. I wouldn’t have appreciated how we didn’t check in with Jessie and her thoughts, we got little reminders and throwbacks to all the goodness that made this series so precious fo begin with from Niamh and her rocks, Sebastian and Ivy House being in cohoots, that 3rd floor window ledge and falling out of it, even all the talk about Edgar being retired (notice how we weren’t treated to a scene of him begging for it?), even Sasquatch and the bar.This is by far my favorite series of Breene’s and it really says something that a spin-off doesn’t seem necessary to fulfill all our hopes that the story keeps going. This world is vast and it doesn’t bother me one bit that it’s clearly been more than a year since Jesse came to Ivy House and we still haven’t met this Momar big bad yet.

So entertaining. It's a page turner . This book is an adventure that will also have you laughing out loud. I love the characters! I actually hate to see the series end!

awesome
This series is my favorite from KF Breene, though I’ve loved others too. The combo of odd characters that quickly become dear friends, fast intricate pacing, impeccable writing and intricate plots is unbeatable. Add in the over-arching trajectory of the series and WOW

As always, so much fun!
Jessie and Austin were, of course, absolutely adorable. The addition of more POVs was sometimes difficult to juggle, but didn’t affect the flow of the plot. Tristan’s mystery especially kept me reading well past my bedtime. All of KFB’s novels are page turners with hilarity thrown in, but I really and truly connect with this series above all others. On to the Battle!

Too much fun!
I am so glad to get back into this series. The characters are fun and varied, and the flow of the story is great. It slows down in the few moments of calm and speeds up to a heart-racing, cannot-put-down, breakneck speed during the battles. I can't wait to see where the Ivy House crew goes next.
