I haven’t read an actual physical book in years. I started reading this book right before bed to help ease me into sleep. I only got to page 50 before sleep came. HOWEVER, before sleep took me, I went on Amazon to order the rest of the series. Love the world building, love the characters, love Holly’s writing style. * chef’s kiss * Holly Renee is absolutely going on my auto-buy list. I finished this book in less than a day after being audiobook only for years.

i regret reading this. saw this on tik tok and decided to give it a whirl, and oh my god…

WHY CAN THEY NOT CONTROL THEIR HORMONES FOR A SINGLE SECOND, ESP WHEN THERE IS SOMEONE SLEEPING RIGHT NEXT TO THEM? AND WHEN EVERYTHING IS A CATASTROPHE? WHAT ARE THEY DOING???

So, this is an excellent story and the spice is even better. I flew through this book and enjoyed it despite regular grammatical errors, which is normally an absolute no for me. I found myself constantly correcting the sentences as I was reading and did find myself frustrated with that. if this book had better editors, it would be a five star read for me.

sooooo i dont really know how i feel about this book?? On one hand. I lovedddddd Evren, the world and magic system were pretty easy to understand, Adara wasnt annoying like a lot of fmc are, and the spice was v v nice. ON THE OTHER HAND…. the passing of the book was so wack??? I feel like if this book was longer and the story wasnt as rushed it could have been really good. The “plot twist” wasnt really a plot twist. When I was reading the end, I didn’t even realize it was suppose to be a plot twist because they heavilyyyyy hinted at it in the beginning of the book. I hated the instalove. I will say that the second half of the book was much better than the first half but im still not a huge fan. Will I still be reading the next one tho? Yes definitely.

Overall, its just nothing new. This books feels like a copy and paste of a lot of other stories I have read.

I wanted this to be good but what was the plot? The ending also? It made no sense whatsoever. The smut was something, I felt as though I was reading 2018 Wattpad, “nub” and “sex, maybe I’m immature but I couldn’t take that seriously.
