That Irresistible Poison by Alessandra Hazard

Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.

it should be illegal to write bad hate-to-love stories. at least this book made me realize i don't enjoy my characters having sex before real feelings come to play. peak enemies-to-lovers is when two people hate each other so much that, in order to accept they want each other, they have to rebuild themselves and their conceptions of one another. the couple here doesn't scratch even the surface of that since their mutual hate is motivated by douche and teenager behavior only. you see, i don't need and most of the times i don't even like ethical reasons, but i really need a good one. if at least seyn wasn't so ridiculously reactive to ksar's cruel words their fights wouldn't have felt so gratuitous and impersonal, but there was no real defiance besides cursing, scowling and public flirtation. i couldn't see how they would redeem themselves, fall in love and start to have some chemistry, to the point that, instead of rooting for them, i was fully invested in seyn's goal of breaking their bond, which i don't think it was the effect intended by the author. anyways, ksar's cold persona isn't sexy bc he really is a cold jerk Lol there seems to be nothing more about him and his future husband, so good riddance to both of them.
