About this deal

i’m gonna be honest, at first i was very confused about all of the terminology and world building, but about a quarter of the way in i understood.

She's also completely unhinged, but in a really " her heart is in the right place" kind of way) I love her loyalty to her friends and the way she goes toe to toe with Caius is thrilling! The romance in this book was immaculate, the spice was a nice bonus because it wasn't too much, but it wasn't too little.And while I found myself bored while reading this, it obviously is a well loved series, as Bookish Box has continued the limited edition prints, and just released the second book for those who want a complete collection. High DPS towers, such as the Accelerator, Ranger, Pursuit and Turret, are recommended to defeat this boss.

However, the closer she gets to saving her kingdom, the more she realizes a singular problem stands in her way. Their hatred for each other runs deep due to their preconceived notions of each other but there is also something else drawing them together that neither one of them are strong enough to ignore. Caius is the notorious Umbra King, ruler of Vincula, King of the Monsters, and the thing nightmares are made of. I'm also rooting for Sombra to kick Twilight out of the library and have a night of passion with Rarity. Even though the writing style isn’t fantastic, the character development and plot were well written and balanced throughout.

Gideon Frost is the pseudonym for an Audie-nominated and award-winning romance narrator of over 50 audiobooks.

I loving how your getting Rarity and Sombra connecting; Personally i don't mind if it's a fast hook up because you are having them get to know one another on such an emotional level as opposed to the cliche of 'slap-slap-kiss' if you ever heard that expression. It is highly recommended to use the Star Cannon to stun The Umbra, and may be necessary to survive the Shot of the Century ability. I didn’t rate 5 stars because there were a few times where the plot was a little too predictable or just something I’ve seen a million times before. Not much of anything happens in this book, it's just the MC complaining that she hates the love interest, being conflicted about it, and then pursuing him anyways.

Seriously, whenever anything would anger or hurt her, I was ready to protect and attack because I adored her. Maybe sometimes scenes were awkwardly written and sounded cringe, but that could also be a 'me problem' so I'm still giving it 5 shiny stars! I was a little bit scared going into this after reading the guide but throughout the story, Jamie Applegate Hunter did such a good job of explaining the world-building. Rory a vigilante serial killer who hunts down the wicked and exacts her own form of justice finds her luck has run out and has been caught and convicted of her crimes and is now facing 500 years in the prison realm of Vincula ruled by Caius, The Umbra King and a powerful monster in his own right.

This book was weird because at some points you felt IN IT and at others you felt weirdly detached from it all. Overall, this was very Wattpad, and --at the expense of this book’s rating-- I am very much past that stage of my life. Things obviously go sideways and she ends up thrown into the prison realm of Vincula and at the feet of the Umbra King, Caius. Some of the descriptions might be triggering for some people though, so do check out the trigger warnings beforehand! However, if The Umbra is near the exit, you should use the Star Cannon to prevent it from reaching the exit to give your towers more time to attack it.The Umbra's theme, Totality, is the term used to say the moment where there is total obscuration of the sun during an eclipse. Quick premise: Aurora/Rory’s sister was brutally murdered ten years ago, and she has been looking for the killer ever since. The MC is supposed to be this morally grey badass, which is the main reason reason I picked up this book in the first place, but instead we're stuck with a pretty average woman swooning over a complete asshole that is essentially her prison guard. It is not recommended to use the Star Cannon when The Umbra is not using its Shot of the Century, as you may not have enough Charges when it actually does use it, causing you to lose health.
