pure smut

I wouldn't call this a 4 star read but it was better than a 3 star!



The spice level definitely lived up to the hype of what i’d been hearing! The middle-end got a little too slow/repetitive, but the ending storyline was pretty awesome
dark emotional hopeful mysterious tense medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was so much better than I was anticipating, and I like most of what I've read of the series so far! I'm not a huge NCN reader because they're not always done the best, but this was excellent. Very clear boundaries of their games, safety estaished and reinforced, made for all the spicey fun! And the ending - I LOVE, yes, yes, yes 10/10 exactly what I wanted. Jafar and Jasmine, I'm obsessed. I was worried it was going to give creepy uncle vibes but we were saved from that, thank god, Jafar is hot as hell and Jasmine is evolving and amazing.

She’s a great writer just wasn’t for me.

I should have read the reviews first

This sucked.

A good book but the ending seemed a bit rushed

1.5
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

By half way through I was sooooooo over Jasmine. She’s a whiny baby who REFUSES to acknowledge that she is ever making an active choice with Jafar and REFUSES to accept that she’s exactly where she wants to be. Like MY GOD! He is offering you everything you want but you just won’t see it. 
Never thought I’d come away from this liking Jafar far better than Jasmine. 
Also, too much smut, not enough plot. (Not normally an issue I run into but here we are)
