If you think my delulu ass is believing that ending you are wrong 😃 for me the last 5 chapters never happened.

While this book had so many beautiful and funny moments it also had the worst cliffhanger ending I've ever read. I was literally sobbing while reading the last chapters and the way I relived that fucked up ending over and over again last night. Because what was that?? The ending and the last chapters 😭 how can they do this to my fragile heart and what did I do so wrong to deserve this heart crushing pain 😭💔 I really don't think I'll ever recover from it and the way I know its going to get worse in the next books.

ZA might be the best kind of crack in this world but it also gives you the best kind of pain in this world.

Enough about sad things let's talk about the so many spicy scenes in this 🤌🏻❤️‍🔥 they all were iconic, the classroom scene, the cave scene, the spring water scene and the most iconic of all THRONE SCENE 🧎🏽‍♀️ This book served the most delicious spice and I ate it up ❤️‍🔥

Blue shut her eyes with a cry of delight and I clutched her jaw with a growl. “Look at me,” I demanded and her eyes flew open, her pupils dilating.


“You’re going to be the ruin of me,” Darius growled in my ear.

✦ Vega twins
I love them both but I can't ignore some shitty decisions both Darcy and Tory made in this book. And it hurts so bad to see them not talking to each other because of some asshole (seth 😒) I don't know what and how but they need to make some smart decisions and stop this all heirs vs vegas fight. Its so tiring now.


✦ Lance Orion
The love of my life 💘 and the man I'd do anything for. He's the only normal character in ZA so far...okay maybe he's a bit psycho teacher but hey?! his methods of teaching are very inspiring and that one time he threw a whole pineapple at Seth's face in a class 💀 I died laughing at this scene.

“Shut up!” Orion bellowed, throwing out a hand and a blast of air knocked Kylie off of her chair onto her ass.

A pineapple hit Seth square in the face and knocked him flying off of his seat with a curse. Darius got up and offered him a hand as laughter rang out around the room. “Detention, Capella!” Orion barked. “You were warned.”

He is my definitely my favourite character and the way he cares for Darcy and protects her and does everything for her and mostly THE WAY LANCE LOVES HER 💖💕💘💓 ITS EVERYTHING. He's a selfless and a thoughtful asshole and so so precious 🥺 and do you know he fucking blushed in this book 🫠💘

I could have freaking sworn his cheeks touched with colour. “Are you blushing?” I gasped excitedly and he chewed the inside of his cheek. “No,” he grunted.


“Blue.” I smiled dreamily, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. She is so… everything. Does she know how everything she is?

✦ The Celestial heirs

➛ Darius: I never thought it was possible to love him more than I already did but I do and always will 🥺💘 He is my favourite character along with Lance and tbh I can't really choose between him and Lance 😭 He deserves so much better and the best. His povs were the saddest and the way he is fighting everything he felt for Tory 😭 when all he needs to do is just pull her into his arms and never let go. I hate Lionel so much for what he did to him 😭 He made Darius his own worst enemy when he is the most amazing person who is always trying to do his best for everyone.

"What could I say to her about it anyway? Don’t be with him because we were together once. For one, too brief, earth shattering moment, you were mine. And I never should have let you go."


"Roxy laughed and my heart leapt at the sound of me making her happy."

➛ Caleb: He keep on growing on me with his little gestures or atleast not being the biggest asshole in the heir group.

➛ Seth: Remember how I said he's growing on me in last book. I take that back because how dare he threaten my bluelance. He better do his best in next book or we are done. FUCK. HIM.

➛ Max: I liked him so much in this one and the way he was obsessed with Grus and will do anything to make her "Mine" when she doesn't even give a shit about him. Its cute to see them together 🤭

Didn’t you feel what I felt? That sex was fucking mind blowing.”
“Yes, yes, you were perfectly adequate,” she said as she moved to look in the mirror, standing by my closet and fixing her goddamn hair.
“Adequate??”

✦ Geraldine: My hilarious badass bitch. She's just so funny and her puns are to die for. I wish we get her povs too in the next books.

“I’m afraid to admit I did,” she groaned. “My Lady Petunia set her gaze on a rather virile Siren and he fell prey to her amorous adventures.”


“Yes. I’m afraid the scallywag will just have to accept I hit it and quit it. No need to go riding the same horse again, there are plenty more fillies to break in.”
“Fuck yes, Geraldine!”

All I have to say is there are no better words that'll describe how much I love them. They are everything to me and so much more 💘

“I don’t know how long we have, Blue, but my heart will be yours whether we’re together or not.”


“I’ll fight for you too, Lance Orion. Whatever it takes.”
“Whatever it takes,” he echoed and a clap of power sparked between our hands.


We stepped under the arch and I looked up at Orion with my heart in my throat and my pulse absolutely everywhere. He leaned down, pressing his lips to my cheek close to my ear.
“You look indescribable,” he murmured so quietly I barely caught it.

Their relationship development was incredible in this. The way they both are so ready to fight the world to protect each other and their love. Its everything and the most beautiful thing. Their love just gets stronger and stronger with each book. And this book served some of the best sweet, spicy and flirtatious bluelance moments.

“Look, I don’t know what this thing is between us or where it’s going, Blue, but after everything that’s happened, the one thing that’s clear to me is that I don’t want anyone else. So this crystal is a promise from me that I’m yours. For now. Forever. Or till it all goes to shit, I don’t know which yet.” He smiled hopefully and my heart could have burst with how much this meant to me.


“Do you like my tiny library?” he asked in a playful voice and I smiled.
“You’re a total geek,” I said, loving that about him as he laughed against the crook of my neck. He placed a soft kiss there which sent a deep shudder through to my core.

They tear my heart open again and again and then put it back together again and again like nothing ever happened. I have a feeling that they are going to do this till the very last book 😭💔

"she was like a breath of fresh air. When she looked at me, it was like she really saw me."


"But there it was. Darius was staring at me like he was breaking open and I was the only one who could put him back together."

They really need to talk it out and not just give in to this lust and heat between them. Its too painful to watch them working against each other every time when its so clear they are made for each other. I understand Tory's choice but that was just the worse thing she ever did to Darius and what about the fact that he was giving his heart to her and everything and I know it was too late but still they didn't deserve that cruel fate.

“I’ll have your attention even if I have to take it without your permission.” “Why?” I demanded. “Why not just go after someone else?”
“Because we don’t get to choose our obsessions. And you’re mine.”


"I lay down and she curled against me, laying her head on my chest and fitting so perfectly into the curve of my body that it was like she’d been made to fit there."


“I don’t want you on your knees. I want you fighting me and hating me and fucking me like you mean it. You’re Roxanya Vega and you weren’t built to bow to anyone,” he growled passionately.
“You want me to hate you?” I asked in surprise.
“I want you to feel for me. And I’ll take hate if that’s all you’re offering.”

➙ Lance and Darius
I'll never stop talking about how much they mean to me. They are everything. Its the way they thought of each other more than just family. Their love and bromance is just top tier in ZA.

"What the hell? This is supposed to be our night! Great, now I was sounding like a fucking jealous girlfriend even inside my own head."

Lol I love jealous Darius 😗🤭

“I love you like a brother. You mean more to me than most real members of my family.”

➙ Lance and Tory's friendship?!
The most unexpected friendships in this book but it was amazing to see them together as friends even if Tory is a threat to his mankind 🤣

If you can’t convince me that he’s not some kind of sex pestering, brain washing, secret keeping, dirty old pervert then I’m gonna fucking burn his balls off right here and now.”
“What the fuck?” Orion snarled.

I knew what I was getting myself into with this series but still that ending was downright criminal and nothing else. The way I was laughing and giggling upto 85% in this book and then Tory rip out my heart from my body with that earth-shattering-ground-breaking-illegal decision. I was literally screaming internally while sobbing my heart out 😭

And Lionel and Clara better watch their backs because they are on my killing list and I won't stop until I rip out their heart from their fucked up bodies and then crushed it in million pieces for doing all the worst things to Lance and Darius. They're going to pay for their crimes 🔪

I can't believe I'm going to start book 5 now and the way I'm praying to heavens for less sad endings and some peaceful moments of Torydarius 😭 but I know I'm just being delulu here 😃
