Jesus what a good book. It makes me want to recommend it to anyone who enjoyed ACOTAR. It has supernaturals, a couple of courts, bad boys, wings, a bit of spice.. ugh
Sure, the characters are problematic but did that stop me? ofc not, i really ate this up

As the first book in a trilogy I feel like It sets up the next book really well while still having a plot to enjoy. 
I wish we could've had a bit more worlbuilding on Desmonds side of the world, but I also guess we'll get it in the second book..? 

Over-all I really enjoyed it so so much. Will be reading the next one ASAP

This book has some sizzling chemistry between our protagonist, Callie, and The Bargainer. There is good banter, some fluffy scenes and slow some dark snd possessive moments as to be expected when the love interest is part of the fae.
It flashes between present and past, building the relationship between our protagonists but also has an intriguing mystery plot.

This book is ok, but the saga doesn’t wake up my interest. 

Rhapsodic was predictable, it truly was. Also it was kind of vague with its explanations.

But at the end of the day, it has good pacing and I devoured it in less than a day.

The past story between both of the protagonists was making me mad  at times. Every time the girl asked for a bargain I wished I was there to tell her “girl, please stop”.

The present story was alright, basic, but alright. I felt like I had read it before.

The autor does a great job at using back and fourth between timelines and it makes the relationship between them interesting. I liked the way the sexual tension was build up.

The problematic was weak and it was resolved with an even weaker explanations.

I know I sound like a hater, but none of what I mentioned change my experience with the book. As I said before, I devoured it and enjoyed it.

I liked that our main girl was a siren, I thought she had cool powers and was a badass at her job.

Sadly I’m not motivated enough to follow the series.

The spice is good tho, those are extra points.

Read you all later.
