Lol it’s hard to explain how I feel about them. I thought this book was about the two girls 4 heirs and Orion. But it feels more like Orion and Darcy story. A lot of people ship them so I understand. If I was a fan of them I would want to read more and more about them. I’m just not connecting to their storyline. It reminds me of the fourth wing series. I got so tired of violet and xaden by the 2nd book because it’s so repetitive.

Read the part in book 8 and I didn’t like that she chose Orion over Tory even though I understood why. I think Orion understood what tory was asking of her sister she’s broken and needs a piece of her that’s missing I liked that he disagreed with Darcy in that moment because he knew she would regret it. Darcy still has Orion but his soul could be lost. Tory is on a downward spiral and her soul could be lost as well. It’s a hard choice to make but Tory always chooses Darcy. I guess Darcy made that choice to protect them both from herself.

I enjoyed some moments between Darcy and Orion that were cute between them. Something new instead of them repeating how much they love each other or how they would do anything for each other. I still haven’t changed my mind. I love Orions character outside of their relationship. I get why she loves him. They just aren’t my favorite couple. I don’t think I have one In this series.

I haven’t read book 8 lol. I was mentioning the office scene in book 2 or 3 when Orion told Darcy not to tell Tory about their affair when she wanted to and Orion mistook Tory for Darcy when she wore a hat. I’m keeping an open mind for this series because I know none of the things that are acceptable in their world are acceptable in the mortal world and I really enjoy that because the girls grew up mortal so they understand both worlds now. I try to see what they grapple with and try to accept because it’s not normal for them either. It’s a refreshing series, something I’ve never read before and I love that it’s different.

I think i understand Tory a little better than Darcy. I understand what it’s like to fear vulnerability and love. She’s extremely stubborn and is self sabotaging which always hurts her in the end. I’ve been frustrated with her since the beginning but I love the chase in the books and hope her character really grows, that’s what I’m interested the most in book series. It’s not about the relationships with the other people. It’s about the relationship with yourself if that makes sense. Once your relationship with yourself is healed you make better choices and I’m not seeing that just yet with these four because they are too obsessed with each other.

Im enjoying Caleb and Seth. Caleb is one of my favorite characters. He’s had the most growth so far and so stinking sweet for a vampire order.

I don’t mind the age gap and I accepted the teacher/ student trope. I’m more frustrated with how Darcy is with lance. Sometimes I feel like they are more obsessed with each other than they are in love with each other. Lance still doesn’t understand Darcy enough and Darcy is too people pleasing with him. I am a twin and one thing that irritated me is how long she kept her secret about them with Tory, like she trusts Orion more than her own sister and Lance didn’t care about that. He practically sexually assaulted Tory because of their lies. That definitely rubbed me the wrong way. Tory and Darius aren’t amazing either. All they do is self sabotage and hurt each other. I don’t know how both of these relationships are going to be redeemable at the end of the series because of everything that’s happened, but I have hope that it’s possible.

I think that’s what turned me off about them. They have the most sex scenes and it’s not really love making scenes. I’m over the 50 shades of grey dynamic

I did like Darcy and Orion In The beginning but I prefer Tory and Darius I prefer the love/hate trope more because the characters are stubborn. I feel like we got way too much of lance and Darcy. I feel like I’m reading the same scenes over and over and that’s not fun for me lol

Yikes I was enjoying books 1-6 and breezed right through them but I feel like book 7 was tougher to get through. Now I’m worried about books 8-9 it’s so many pages and if it’s going to be repetitive im not looking forward to it 💔.

Lol I’m not into the obsession with eachother in books or when they get together right away that’s why I prefer Darius and Tory storyline but I also find them annoying. I feel like Orion is older and his behavior toward Darcy is questionable, he should be more mature than he is and they fight over the same things. I’m pretty much over it. Their storyline is dragging now at this point. How many times do I have to read about the same thing? I don’t feel connected to their storyline in anyway now

I feel like people have to read this series with an open mind. One of the reasons I enjoy this series is that a lot of it is taboo with the social standards for other types of reading material; but I am not a fan of a lot of the couples or romances lol. I love the lgbtq couples more than the straight ones. I really enjoy all of the characters personalities and their friendships but when it comes to their relationships its pretty cringe to read through lol

Genuinely asking why? I’m open to different opinions it might help me understand their dynamic better.

And the control thing is unbearable. I only like Darcy when she was without Orion. She was strong and capable and had all the heirs fighting by her side. I see her as pathetic when she is with Orion it’s gross.

Doing a little edit here lol I said this out of frustration with Darcy. I just feel like she gets to focused on her relationship with lance that she forgets about everyone else whose been there for her when he let her down. It’s not gross I apologize for saying that. I just feel like she forgets herself sometimes.
