I loved this so much! Seeing Paris through Elle's eyes was wonderful, I absolutely adored it. Loved the addition of Oliver and Laure and what they brought to the story. Was super happy to see our friends from the Spirit-Hunters again.
Elle was a liiiiitle whiny in this one for me and also I hate that she lied so much, but I completely understand what the author was trying to do with it, so I understand it was necessary.
Overall- really enjoying this series!
