[Eve1972]

What da f-ck did I just read?? (lol) I don't even know what to say. I legit think this one was my favorite of the series, but I still didn't like it. #SorryNotSorry It was basically a rehashing of a bunch of prior events. The Elite and task aspect was a blip. Again we had a bunch of pointless OW sex scenes. However, at least this one didn't force us into an underdeveloped romance because there is NO romance in this book at all. Kudos to the author for that because I personally think all the books thus far would have been a lot better without the romances. That aspect alone earned this one an extra star. Sebastian could have been a very intriguing character if the book was longer allowing for more development. As it stands, I was just left feeling "meh" about him. Last, we again end on a cliffhanger. If I wasn't holding out for K's book I would probably call it a day at this point because so far this series has been super disappointing to me. Oh well, onwards...

SIDE NOTE: I think this is the ONLY book so far that TRULY matched the sin it was named after.

2.5 - 3 STARS

If you've been following along with this series, prepare yourself for a book that is not like the others. Sebastian matches his sin 100%, he's completely indulgent in every aspect of his life and not going to lie, he terrified me. I can't say that I've been looking forward to his story, but now that I've finished this, I'm a bit at a loss for words.

Now I didn't hate this book, but it definitely sums up to something that I don't tend to read at all. It seems like Forgy has a knack for these kind of reads and she does it so well ... if you're into those.

Envy felt so different than the rest of the books in this series like it almost didn't match up with them at all. I kind of felt disconnected from the series in general and it left me a bit confused on what's going AND what will happen with the rest of the guys whose stories we still have to read. There was a cliffhanger in Wrath and now, Envy. And I'm just wondering what the heck happens now? I have so many more questions that don't exactly pertain to the Elite Seven (as a whole) at all.

Also, I couldn't tell you the last time I read a book that had zero romance. This book definitely brings you inside the dark and psychotic mind of Sebastian and how he became a part of the Elite. It's pretty demented and just absolutely crazy. He's all of that.

The one thing that I wish wasn't happening in every book so far is all the rehashing of everything from getting into the school, the Elite and the series of events that goes on with the other guys. It's becoming a bit redundant and I feel like that's what the first half of the books cover.

Even though this wasn't for me, I'm still 100% invested in this series because I have to know what happens to everyone. I have no idea what will come of Sebastian especially after the way everything ends, but we definitely haven't seen the last of him.
