Almost gave this one 4 stars but I can't take all the horrible things happening. 

Why Darius, why??? I'm glad but mad at the same time.

This one made me so mad that I am debating if I even want to continue the series or not.

This one started out great, but the end was too frustrating for me. I'm not really looking forward to the next book since I've heard it gets annoying, but I'm holding out hope that things will improve for the 5th book.

I was recommended this book, and I'm glad I was. I like the overall story,
the dark academia, and the building of enemies to lovers trope. These are pretty toxic guys and I know shouldn't ship the girls with Darius and Orion but I absolutely do. I also believe Diego is evil and working with the nymphs or is a nymph.
This is a series I know I'm going to enjoy getting lost in. I just hope the rest of the series keeps the twins as the main characters and doesn't try to follow new people from different signs.

I expected more romance from the cover. This was less about the romance and more about the main character's personal development, which was fine, but not what I expected. I needed more from this story. It started out strong, and then the end was just meh.
