Golden Wings & Pretty Things by Kayleigh King
5.0
This was good!
It was a simple read with LOTS of steam and heat. It was so satisfying in those regards that I was really thrilled to have run across it. <3
There were definitely some points at the end that got annoying for me- for example- and, SPOILERS ahead but, when Indies mom and stepdad just literally go out of their way to MURDER her for a really vague and convoluted reason it just insta-killed some of affection I had for this. Bc genuinely, it was just so dumb.
Aside from the really stupid ending with the parents, the only other thing I have to say is I'm really not a fan of characters from other series rubbing elbows, things set within the same universe and meeting previous people or future people in upcoming or old novels. It bugs me. Those characters from old novels authors refer to make me feel as if I should be reading every other novel in that same universe which is not the feeling I'm after when I read. Guilty and out of the loop for not being 5 books in to this universe of 10 or 20 other novels. It just, really annoys me bc it distracts me from the character's I'm focused on now. Anyways, the reason I bring it up is bc we get to meet the ML's son who sounds shrimpy as all heck and I am pre-judging the duck out of and then there's that other guy we meet. The younger brother?? Maybe?? I think?? Idk, it really wasn't clarified who was who. But basically this guys asks the ML for a favor getting a girl admitted into the school. And that's fine and everything but the whole time he was in the picture I kept wishing in my head that his book would be a RH, which, I am positive it will not be. So bummer all around.
In any case, despite those small knocks, I'd have to say this book was super satisfying and very enjoyable for how on point it was in being a no brainer spicy read.
