Heart of a Monster by Shain Rose

2.0

2.5 ⭐️ for the first time in awhile i struggled to figure out what i wanted to rate this book. while i enjoyed it there was also so much that i didn’t like about it. though i will say that i absolutely loved the authors writing and that maybe this particular book just wasn’t for me. i felt like there was so much going on at once yet nothing happening at all. not to mention the entirety of rome and katalina’s relationship was very back and forth and then one sided with rome being the one who was seemingly interested in her. while it was obvious katalina was into him it was like she did everything to resist those urges. the plot twist and the ending was also very abrupt, something that i absolutely was not expecting and to be honest didn’t really like. katalina is by no means one of my favorite wmcs. i honestly just found her to be annoying. she was also very hard headed and literally never listened to anyone. and while i didn’t like her my heart hurts for her and all of what she’s been through. though the nicknames all of the guys in this book had for her were so cute. but i did love rome!!! he was it. he was so charming and perfect. had me giggling and kicking my feet fr!!! i will be reading the second book in hopes of it being satisfying. i am interested to see what is in store for rome and katalina.
