A review by aprilhawthorne
Wicked Trials by Elena Lawson

Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.
  • things just kept getting more intense and gang-related and that is where i start to lose interest
  • i will say that i did still love the chemistry in this book and GOD AJ (i REFUSE to call her Ava Jade) and Rook's interactions were HOT with those knives and i liked that she could accept him in his feral ways
  • i actually had a bit of a soft spot for Rook and looked forward to his POVs which is not usually like me - usually i get annoyed by the 'feral' type man character with no empathy who has a touch of manic crazy in his personality (or more than a touch) but with Rook i found myself actually enjoying him a lot
  • there was this super cringe moment in this series when AJ got super overwhelmed so she just went into this room and SANG her feelings away with the song by this really indie underground masked boyband and Corvus was listening in and what in the name of Disney Channel CRINGE is that 🤮 like i cringed so hard reading it
  • and the three Crows are definitely that masked secret boyband there have been hints toward it and i just have enough dignity to not put myself through the abuse of reading that
  • had these characters been put in different plot i may have been able to continue, but it was just too much of shit i didn't like to continue through
