Her Soul to Take by Harley Laroux
2.75
it’s the “babygirl” for me…but not in a good way
i went into this with high expectations, as id heard lots about it! harley is a figurehead in the dark romance genre, and their books are hyped in the booktok community
i did enjoy it…i liked the world-building, the plot, the tropes…but i didn’t love the characters much, especially rae, she just read as very impulsive and didn’t seem to care much for her own safety at all…im not opposed to an irrational character or one that is willing to risk themselves for their loved ones, but she just felt a bit naive and childish with her impulsive tendencies
and leon, a demon who falls in love with a human after knowing her for like a month…he’s immortal and yet he falls for her so quickly? and i’ll say it again…the babygirl pet name gave me the ick so hard
it’s crazy how one thing can make or break a reading experience
