Toxic Love by Jagger Cole
3.0

3.5 ⭐️’s

This book had a plot I actually really liked — it kept me interested and had enough twists to hold my attention. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that it had a lot of similarities to Deviant Hearts. Same vibes, same formula… which made it feel a little less fresh.

And surprisingly, I didn’t really connect with the FMC. She didn’t do it for me — I found her frustrating more than anything, which made it hard to fully invest in the romance. The chemistry was there, but without that emotional buy-in, it didn’t hit the way I wanted it to.

It just wasn’t amazing — enjoyable, but not unforgettable.
