DNFing at 75% I just can’t.

This review summed up my feelings on the Nox situation perfectly (and one of the exact reasons I’m DNFing): https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5329431314

Although the plot is simple and feels a bit repetitive, I enjoy the banter between the characters and the building of this world that they all live in. I like the cult theme and how this whole community interacts.

The spice has really been kicked up a notch but I'm really anticipating the full Bond Group bang.

5.0

Talk about some WTH moments! In this one, we start to unravel some significant things about the magic/bond system in this world. But it's one of those series that has to be read in order, and the further along things get, the harder it is to explain what happened without spoiling things. But I still like where things are going for this story.

Mention of: death of parent[s], toxic relationships, toxic friendships, child abuse, child sexual assault, and alcoholism.

Holy crap, by early afternoon I'd hit about 50% so I decided to do a bunch of house cleaning...then when I go to lay down last night I decide to finish the book...and that ending!

This book had me all kinds of emotional and desperate to start book 5.

The ending left me wrecked. My jaw is in the floor. Still disappointed in the lack of world building, but there’s more here than I expected. 

I feel like there’s a lot of details in this book that are pretty mundane and don’t matter to the overall story that could have been cut. Several grammatical errors that pulled me out of the immersive story

This has been the best of them by a long shot… there are def things I do not like I am not at all okay with

what went down between her and Nox to be bonded…that’s not at all how I thought it should’ve been

It made me feel so grossed out and disturbed I almost decided to stop reading the book even though it was actually really good. Another part I hated was the

orgy, like I really could’ve done without reading Oli getting a train ran on her like a gods damn porno. And I felt so grimy after reading it because it had the same disgusting atmosphere as a porno does. 19 yr old Oli being treated like a hole to fvck just didn’t sit right with me at all. The one on ones are fine I guess but the orgies almost ruin the book for me. Maybe everyone likes it but me but it Icked me and I reallyyyy don’t need to ever read that again

but yeah we actually had a plot in this one which I appreciated lmao
