1.0

The concept for this book was so much better than the execution. I’m so disappointed to be giving this book 1 star because I really wanted to like it. It actually started off really good but after the first chapter it went downhill very fast. This book was LASER FOCUSED on the angry hate smut between the two main characters. I’m not exaggerating when I say the mention of sex is constant. The word Pussy was used 78 time, Cock 100, times and word Fuck 980 times. The actual sex scene had numerous consensual issues that could definitely be classified as rape. There is an Infant death scene in the book and during the funeral the two MC’s actually start grinding on each other. Needless to say this book should have had trigger warnings. Pornstars think of sex less than these two characters. Honestly this book kinda reads like a pornhub script. This might be one of the worst books I’d ever read if it weren’t for the last 10 pages which were actually pretty good. To be very clear I don’t recommend this book.

 “Women are like exotic cars.”  🤮Watt pad toxic like romance. Then it gets worse. Poorly written plot and dialogue. Also incorrect take on virginity and so many things. I wanted to like it because witches…but alas women are not cats. Or at least I’m not a car

Where do I begin… this was a roller coaster. 😅

It certainly kept my interest the whole time and the smut was decent.

But I did have some issues with this book… the word “fuck” was overused to say the least, the sexual violence was very graphic, and the dialogue was repetitive and a lot of it was unnecessary. Like the whole book could’ve easily been cut down by over a hundred pages.

The plot is super thin and I didn’t know what was happening for a lot of the book, and the major conflict mostly centered around virginity and rape. Toward the end I was more invested in the characters than I was at the beginning, but they were still super unlikeable and it was hard to root for anyone.

I hear the series does get better in the second book!

I’m going to be honest with you - this is not a good book. In fact at best the treatment of women in this is fucking disgusting. But am I going to read the next one? Hell yeah.

Flames of Chaos is definitely chaotic. The story seems very chunky, there could have been smoother transitions and I wish it had taken a little more for the characters to love/hate one another.

The writing is truly terrible. At least half of the paragraphs are simply restatements of the previous paragraph, as though the author wrote out the concept in different ways and for some reason never deleted the drafts. Every other word is “f*ck” as though the author thinks that makes up for a lack of creative dialogue. There are several times where the ridiculousness of what is written fully rips you out of the book. The is almost no plot for the first 90% of the book, and each scene is just another setting up for more sex. Definitely read the content warnings. None of the periphery or side characters develop a personality until the end of the book, when you kind of think you may eventually like one or two of them. I almost dnf’d several times, but other reviews insisted it was worth slogging through to the end. 

Despite all of this, the last 10% of the book finally remembers that plot is a thing and sweeps you up into an actual story. I will read the second one, but with the lowest possible expectations.
