Meta truly doesn't understand the Barbara Streisand effect when it comes to public relations because they got me to read this book - and my record shows I don't read that much nonfiction. I found this memoir a page-turner and appreciated Sarah showing both how Meta affected her as a person and how she saw them affecting the world. While others may not appreciate the pieces of her personal life woven into this story of corruption, I think they play an important part in framing the habitual misdeeds of this corporation.

After finishing this book, I removed Instagram and Facebook from my phone in an effort to reduce my time spent, data given, and attention wasted for the capital gains of a man I don't believe in.

I couldn't remember why I stopped reading Freehan and now I remember why. Red Flag Central! While I totally understand that the dynamics of shifter romances might be different there are still lines of respect and boundaries and what's healthy. I'm not a fan of “fated mates” in shifter romances but this is not why I disliked this book. The male lead is borderline sociopathic and has sever control, anger and violence issues. I kept waiting for a redeeming moment and it never happened. I hate skimmed the last 2/3 of the book. I will be unlikely to pick up any more books by this author in the future.

Not my favorite of the series. Somewhat slow paced. The last 50 pages were probably the best.

I have been thinking about how this book ended as I continued the series and its been nagging at me so much that I had to put my thoughts out there...I think that this book (and series) would be more compelling if Katya had actually died. The facts are that you can't save everyone. While I understand that some series (and it appears this one as well) stick to the moral guidelines that only bad people die - I personally think that the series is slowly escalating towards a breaking point and Katya's death would not only continue that escalation but also provide a compelling reason towards working against the Silence protocol, the Council, and Ming especially.

All I have to say right now (because I just finished this book and it's almost midnight) is Team Sam.
