I typically don’t gravitate towards urban fantasy but THIS ONE I LOOOOOVE!! Also Theon (mmc) is cute and all but I was more so interested in Luka
6 FUCKING ⭐️
ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH THIS SERIES NOW.
if books 2 is as good as book 1 then this series will be going in my top 5 of all time.
i’m immediately diving into book 2.
THIS IS WHAT I WANT WHEN I SAY DARK FANTASY ROMANCE.
i am flabbergasted, jaw in on the floor, i cant breathe. Why tf didn’t i read this earlier?!??!?!!?
and what kind of cliffhanger is that? do you want me to hang myself?!?!
please please check your trigger warnings if you’ll be reading this series it covers many MANY dark topics.
i feel like this series will become my roman empire.

I really wanted to love this more - and I did truly enjoy it - but I think I fell for too much social media hype.
Had a full on live / hate relationship with MMC and at times the FMC too

This book frustrated the absolute hell out of me. So much happened and yet, I feel as if only a handful of things did happen. What the fuck ?
I hate how they hated each other the ENTIRE BOOK. Or should I say SHE HATED HIM. And that hurts MY FEELINGS! I understand this is a series and I need to progress but I just don’t even know what I want out of these books? I don’t even want her to be powerful if she isn’t powerful with Theon by her side. And that’s literally the last thing she wants. She is such a BRATTTTT!!!! I do NOT care about her trauma. She was so woe is me the ENTIRE book, made everyone suffer because she could NOT keep her shit together for more than 2 & a half minutes and now we’re supposed to be gassing her up bc she’s the most powerful blah blah blah?? Like ? No. She is a hater as a hater is a hater. She’s literally only team Tessa and that is so fucking annoying

If there was an Olympic event for whining, every character would win gold. It’s all 'wah wah wah, woe is me' from start to finish. A decent world building buried under a mountain of melodrama.

I’m going to trust the process and read on to book to even though the characters on my last nerves. Theon is addictive, manipulative asshole and just annoyed with him, but completely understand that this is fiction and that there is a world being created. Luka is fascinating as a character, and I really more about his story. He’s legit the only character that I light him and Pen. Pen was a real one. She really love the voice you could tell. Even though we only got to see Pen just for a little bit, it worth it to know that these boys had someone to care for them like she did.
The mental health representation in the book is also reason why I think I was so annoyed, because in all honesty people that are dealing with trauma can sometimes be very annoying. I’m saying these things as someone that deals with trauma of my own. I do appreciate the representation of PTSD That is placed on here and I’m hoping that the people that have harmed the FMC their comeuppance.
Now onto Tessa. Tessa is annoying as fuck. She’s such a brat and I really wish she wasn’t written to be this annoying because I wanted to have empathy for her as a woman that has gone through so much. But I also understand that this is like a character development and I’m hopeful that she gets better with Time .
Axel is Theon’s brother, and he is very lovable but also very confusing. You can tell that he deals with a great deal of trauma as well so I hope that the books will share more of his point of view. I’m committed to reading the series through the end so we’ll see.
I already gave the book 4 stars because there were some errors in grammar and some of the plot got lost a little bit like something’s in one instance they were going to dinner we’re going to lunch, little little things like that made me give it to four stars along with how much the characters got on my fucking nerves. this is a new author for me and I look forward to reading more of her books.
