I saw some youtube breakdown of this series with the title "these books brainwashed me" and I couldn't agree more. I am now more than halfway done with the series and I still cannot for the LIFE OF ME decide what I think about it ??? Does it make me feel more miserable than my 1-star ratings ?? Absolutely. Do I think about it just as much as my 5-star ratings ??? Definitely. Is it "meh" enough to give it a 3-star? Absolutely not.
It's still absolutely fkn terrible. Every single character is awful and cannot be rooted for. Everyone is lying and causing trouble for everyone else. The "found family" is not family-ing, and yet, as I have now finished the second book, I feel like actually crying over that ending and what happens to the characters? It was a Long Time since I felt this much dread about what a fictional character has been put through, and like I said in my review for the first book; I've had my fair share of messed up mafia!au fanfics but what the ✨️ f u c k ✨️ is ✨️ t h i s ✨️
I had a break of like, a week, where I didn't have time to listen to the audiobook and found myself looking up edits, fanart, cosplays and SONGS that related to this series ('Below The Belt' - Point North feat. Set It Off, for anyone wondering btw), and couldn't stop thinking about it for DAYS. And yet I have never had any piece of media make me feel this bad and anxious ever ??? What the FUCK did Nora PUT IN THIS ?
In the midst of looking up other content of this online I also "accidentally" spoiled myself of the biggest ship in this book and ??? I cannot see it. I mean, yes I can see it but h o w. I mean, yes I know exactly why and how but W H Y ? Absolutely not. -10/5 stars. Maybe possibly The Most problematic toxic fictional couple/ship I've seen in a Good While.
I only have one book left now. I'm sure it'll be just as terrible and overdramatic and intense as the previous two and I'm absolutely sure I'll be as miserable and undecided on a score on that one. This series will haunt me for months to come. I'm pretty sure I'm in shock still.
