What readers think
Readers consistently praise Covet's sharp banter, fast-paced plotting, and the organic transition from the Jaxon-to-Hudson love triangle — many find Hudson's morally grey warmth more compelling than Jaxon's brooding overprotectiveness. The expanded world-building (dragon festivals, sprawling paranormal cities) earns particular admiration. Critics point to an abundance of unresolved plot threads that accumulate across the series, and some feel the book doesn't stand alone well without the prior installments. The prose is widely acknowledged as functional rather than literary, but fans embrace the series as a high-energy guilty pleasure.

- · Readers who loved the first two books and want more of the Katmere Academy world with a spicier love-triangle pivot
- · Fans of fast-paced YA paranormal romance with witty banter and morally grey heroes
- · Those who enjoy supernatural academy settings with political intrigue and high-stakes consequences
Skip it if
- · You need a satisfying standalone arc — this book ends on cliffhangers and demands series commitment
- · You dislike love-triangle pivots or feel protective of the book-one ship
