Insatiable
by Leigh Rivers
My god. If this man begged to kiss her ONE MORE TIME I would’ve lost it. Please have some dignity my dude!!! That said, I mostly did like the MMC. He was complex, showed a surprisingly weird amount of emotion (for an alluded psychopath), had actual depth… blah blah blah. I also thought him calling her Freckles was cute, as was some of their banter.
FMC… BFR!!! “iF I tELL kADe, cHrIs wIlL hUrT hIM.” Really? The literal mass murderer? Versus that fly-buzzing-in-your-face, lame-ass excuse of a stepbrother??? I’m going to need you to be so serious. It’s giving “Who would win: 10,000 gorillas or 1 bitch-ass man with 100 burner phones?” Girl PLEASEEEEEEE. I genuinely didn’t understand why she kept all these secrets, as if that man had any more power to ruin her life than he already had. Like what?? That made no sense to me. Which then really made me side-eye the entire premise. Ever heard of moving out, changing your number, and going to therapy? Problem solved. The man is yours. Story over. Honestly, maybe it’s on me for expecting more than surface-level depth from a book like this, so I’ll shut up now
Also, why was she constantly calling him “my ex” like it was his legal name? At some point it started feeling less like emotional damage and more like lazy writing. I probably would’ve enjoyed this mess more if it was written better… but it’s the author’s debut, so I’ll cut her some slack. I did like the addition of the flashbacks. Anyways, don’t mind me as I expeditiously start book two.
