I really loved all of the characters in this one. I love Palmer, she was just so strong and cool and overall a lovely character. And I love Palmer, Felix, Talon, Ashland and even Rhodes. I liked how they were all super different from each other and each had their own personalities. They were just so well developed that it made me like them as characters even when they weren’t doing the nicest things. As a trained agent of Montague Industries, it’s my job to keep innocents safe. The Exiled are a threat that needs to be neutralized, and I’m ready for battle. Palmer is an agent and her mission is to take on a group of demons called The Exiled. But instead of wanting to do her mission, she finds herself falling for those demons.

With an invitation to their depraved nightclub in hand, a leather corset wrapped around my torso and a mask complete with tall bunny ears, these demons aren’t going to be able to resist me. The only problem? I wasn’t expecting their brand of insanity to be so… exasperatingly delicious. We briefly met Palmer & The Exiled during Emerald Lakes book 4-5 I think? See, this is how you know I need to reread EL again 😂 because I binged the series in 4 days during Christmas Break. It does have a cliffhanger that will oof! OOF! It made me a cry inside. I lied. Emotional Damage, but this book is worth it! This is a fun, fast, twisted story of I shouldn't want you, but I can't stay away. She is literally tasked to take down these men, but they seem to keep a strong hold on her, even if she doesn't want it.fmc - #gaslightgatekeepgirlboss. i loved how feisty she was. i loved seeing her take control and be so hot while doing it. I have a suspicion there's something about Palmer we have to learn - mainly due to fact that two of the demons almost knotted with her which doesn't happen unless they're with mate material. Being a demon, they can only mate with demons.......hmmmmmmm! It ends on a cliffhanger and this one I feel is just shy of a “throw my kindle" cliffhanger. Especially because I feel like so much happens in the last 15-20% I didn’t know where the story was going and when it ended I had to sit and think for a moment. Ashland is similar to Talon in he doesn’t have a filter but he’s more dominant. The mouth on this man (honestly on all of them, again save for Rhodes) I was ready to volunteer as tribute. Despite his dominance, he absolutely loves when Palmer talks shit about him. He knows what he likes and is not afraid to go after it or express it.

We have Palmer who works for that same agency Cam & Co were working for. She is besties with Cam’s brother Hunter (whom I loved so much) and her mission is to seek The Exiled and get them terminated. Learning about Palmers history aswell is not a nice read, especially as the book goes on and can only hope that the trouble stirrers don't get their way!! Britt, clever play on the next title of the book because these demons live rent-free in my head now :> While on the one hand I abso-freakin-lutely LOVED this book.....I'm not sure My patience can last until book two will be released!!!! Guyyyyysssss 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻…. this is one of those books that is super good throughout, yes, and then BOOM 💥 !!!! THE ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💥💥💥 MIND BLOWN FOLKS 🤯🤯🤯! I actually was soooo MIND BLOWN that I had to STOP reading at 92% and make a BookTok RAVING 🤩 about it!!! I FREAKING LOVE ❤️ books that do this!!! 🙌🏻 Sooo 👏🏻 sooo 👏🏻 sooo 👏🏻 good!

This book is basically world building (If you read Emerald Lakes, same world but totally different vibe), and establishes the relationships among the Exiled and with Palmer. We meet quite a few side characters. Two of whom I knew would be impactful, but I didn’t realize how important they were until the last chapter.
