5.0

I love the dynamics between everyone! It really is so similar to the Saltburn dynamics/relationship (but healthier) but I’m not complaining I ate that up and I’m eating this up! And oh my god the ending! Where do I get the second book in the middle of the night?! Also my b for reading Saltburn before this and spoiling myself I didn’t realize all these books were in the same world! And peep the Father Jorden cameo!

Dnf at increasingly creepy and porny emails from a virgin 17yo. No thanks.

My Rating: 4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well shit. As a dark romance girlie I’m fully ashamed of myself. But as bitch that likes smut… BRUUUUH!!! Reading is bliss!

I was roped into reading this from one of my groups, i rolled my eyes and stomped my feet and thought blaaah who wants fluff? So ok, If this is fluff … it’s me

I am late to the party on this book but was it worth the wait? Yes, yes, yes. What a hot read. I was reminded to read it when I saw the postings for the new narration featuring Teddy Hamilton and of course I had to listen to it. My library had a copy, and I immediately snagged it. I loved every minute of it.

Some pretty good scenes, but the story and several plot points almost made me put it down. I won’t be continuing the series.

DID NOT FINISH: 63%

The whole they met when she was a minor was bad enough then you want to add he fucked his half sister 

I’ll he honest with you, Embry was the only person in this entire book that I liked. He’s the only reason I finished it.

And the poor guy was being  tortured from page one by two of the most selfish characters I have ever read. Characters who supposedly love him. 

Don’t get me wrong, the writing is, as always with this author, utterly fantastic. I love Sierra’s style. 

But I could not love these characters. I tried, all the way to the end. I think I’m going to have to admit defeat and take the rest of the series off my tbr. 

It’s not bad. Just bad for me.
