Something Wilder
by Christina Lauren
This book was definitely 'something wilder' than I'd typically pick up and I'm not exactly sure where I stand on it.
I was absolutely obsessed with the second chance romance between Leo and Lily. Their chemistry was amazing, and I loved the opposites attract vibes. The spicy scenes between them felt so raw and you could feel their mutual pining. I also loved the relationship between Lily and her dad, Duke. Duke was always one step ahead and made sure Lily would forever know he loved her.
But then there was the rest of the plot. The adventure started fun and then it just kept getting crazier and crazier to a point where I had enough of it and just wanted to enjoy the romance without the other stuff going on. Towards the end of the book I was getting so confused with all the puzzle solving/hunting and the sudden switch up between who all the characters were backing up. It was all just hard to keep track of.
The character, Terry, was probably my biggest turn off from the adventure plot. He was just the worst kind of person and I didn't really enjoy seeing a character so homophobic and misogynist for no actual plot related reason. even in death, he still infuriated the fuck out of me and I felt like screaming almost every time he was brought up
Honestly, if the book focused a lot more on the romance storyline, I'd be obsessed, but unfortunately the mystery and adventure just dragged the book down.
