Freeing Luka by Victoria Aveline
Did not finish book. Stopped at 80%.
DNF @ 80%
Overall Rating: 2/5
Fuckkkkkk, this book was annoying. The beginning had such a set up and so much action so my expectations were so high after the first few chapters only for them to end up in the gutter at the 50% mark. The way the FMC became the most insufferable person on the planet like if I was the Queen I'd say fuck it and ship her ass back to Earth. This woman, whose name I'm not even going to try and remember because she was just that irritating, compared all of her relationships to the one she was having with Luka. And don't get me wrong, some boundaries she was listing were actually understandable but there were others that we SOLEY based off of her negative experiences with past boyfriends.. "Oh I don't want to be a doormat anymore" girl... if you don't stfu I'll turn you into one GAH DAMN. She was so insufferable and Luka deserves better... even if he is a discount version of Theo...
Their relationship seemed pretty nice in the beginning but then honestly felt forced as the FMC began this push and pull type of behavior.. like girl had insecurities she didn't want to work through and then punished Luka for those insecurities. LIKE WOMAN HE LITERALLY SAID IT'S PAINFUL TO BE WITHOUT YOU AND YOU KEEP PUSHING HIM AWAY? HOW ARE YOU ANY DIFFERENT FROM HIS KIDNAPPERS? EXPLAIN?!?!?!?
And despite Luka being a discount version of Theo I actually liked him a lot more than Theo. He was a lot nicer to his fated mate (even those that ugly ahh woman didn't deserve it) and was constantly trying to come to an understanding with her despite not knowing human customs. He was the only saving grace in this book but by the third act... alas he couldn't keep me engaged enough...
By the time they were getting along and the miscommunication was cleared I was already pissed off and bored af so I didn't continue... will I continue the series? Probably.. I heard this was the worst book in the series and I found the first one to be pretty good so I'll continue after getting this.... annoying ahh FMC out of my system.
