Very good plot mixed with the smut. Very dark and gory definitely read trigger warnings. Witchy and Morally black characters that are lovable in their own way. Main character gets with all the male characters so having their POVs sprinkled in adds a lot. I’m gonna read the second asap

while i fairly enjoyed cruel promises & read it because the worlds were connected, i had a harder time pushing through broken beauty. about 70% into the book was when the plot picked up and got better but i am torn between whether I should pick up book 3 or not. i felt the story jumping everywhere given that there were five pov’s. i found aryden annoying in cruel promises & did love clover, but for some reason in broken beauty; clover was actually more annoying then aryden - her character development did get better though. i felt the book had a lot of potential, it just didn’t live up to it fully in my opinion. book 3 isnt released until october, so hopefully if i do pick it up, it gets better!
