Half the Battle by Elle Thorpe
4.0
Tentative 3.5 rounded up
Idk this didn't really live up to the expectations I had following the first book.
First and foremost: I fucking miss Vincent. I probably would have liked Scythe had he been there from the jump, but I jsut found him empty and me missing Vincent hardcore.
The story just kept getting kind of boring for me. The best part of this book was probably the bi awakening with War and Scythe. The spice for that and with Bliss' various spice scenes was nice. But can we not use the word mound all the time? Or like, preferably, at all? Lol
Also there was a lot of things that just were out of nowhere and made it feel disjointed and awkward. Her mom suddenly being a goodish person? Her dad and his wife and their kids being good with her owning a bar(that he and his wife know has a secret sex club), even though her dad has always wanted her to be prim and proper Bethany Melissa. Also...speaking of her dad and his wife having gone to the sex club when Axel was alive...Axel would have known her dad? Idk that felt weird.
This all just felt weird.
But Bliss was at least less annoying in this book than she was on the first.
Since I'm already two books in, im gonna give the third a go, and hopefully, it's better. I hope Vincent comes back, tbh lol
