This has promise. And some of the middle act was appealing. But I got bored. And lost interest in the “capital D” drama.

This just isn’t my cup of tea, but I think it’s generally well-written. I hope it continues to find the right audience (which isn’t me😂).

When I say it isn’t my cup of tea, I mean Damon isn’t my cup of tea. I don’t really know how he’s going to be redeemed. I know he is because he has a book, but I don’t see any world where I believe that Rika would be okay with having him in her life again, let alone being close to him. Also, Michael says he loves her and all is well? I just feel like he and the other Horsemen got let off real easy for doing all that stuff to her when she didn’t even do anything. I like kinky, but I don’t like bullies.

Jävligt bra, mötte med något ännu bättre när den blev lite tråkig (den va inte tråkig ofta) och glimpsarna av 3 år tillbaka och nutid va bra timing. Gillade epilogen den va söt.
The catacombs scene och steam room/sauna scene va ju de mest… intressanta

Spice is off the charts, but the swings from we are good to we are not good are wild and all over the place; the motivations completely out there. I mean, after Credence, this is what this author writes, if that is your thing, go ahead, you will like it.

well can't say it's a good book but it's enjoyable if you accept a bunch of things just don't make sense
and the mystery part was interesting enough 
I had to roll my eyes every time a bunch of fucking 19/22 year olds were soo powerful and untouchable though lol feels ridiculous
