“When Villains Rise” finds Kovit and Nita trying to figure out what to do with the two people they are holding hostage and how to save Kovit from finding himself on the list and being hunted by those who believe they are following the law by killing him as soon as possible and with the final stages of the plan in motion Nita finds that sometimes the true monsters are those closest to home. But I am.Īfter three books I still find this series so odd but at the same time very brave for making a trilogy focused on characters who are essentially monsters and making me root for them to win in the end. Adair said he doesn't feel any romantic feelings for Diana, so there goes the other couple I was rooting for!!!! I'm honestly so annoyed, and I don't even know if I have any right to be. It would be one thing if Nita and Kovit's relationship had never turned physical but now, I just feel sort of betrayed.ģ.

The kiss in book 2 particularly sent strong signals that a romance was developing. There are times I would swear Nita does feel lust towards Kovit, when she focuses on aspects of his face and body.Ģ. Now, asexuality is obviously fine and all, but:ġ. They'd rather just be friends with a side dose of hugging. before deciding that actually, neither of them are interested in sex and romance and lust and all the rest of it. So, Nita and Kovit kiss in Book 2, right? And then they kiss again here. My only issue is with the romance, which - to frame it bluntly - took a long walk off a short pier.

The finale, plot-wise, was everything I could have wished for.
