Ok, how heckin CUTE was THIS?! I loved this book. I adored the premise, having the Prince of Christmas and the Prince of Halloween gave me Nightmare Before Christmas vibes, but with much more focus on Christmas. The banter was great and there were many parts that had me bursting into cackles! If I had to describe this one in references, it would be if Red, White and Royal Blue and The Nightmare Before Christmas had a baby, it would be this book. So so so so looking forward to the next!

Immediate yes. Like, from the very first line. The Villainous Things series has become so dear to me that even just being back with these characters filled my entire soul to the brim. Rabble Endgame was as much of a comfort as it was hilarious and sexy! There are some twists in here that I did NOT see coming. I loved every moment and was legitamitly upset when anything in my life DARED to interupt my reading. So basically, read this book. I mean, read the other 4 Villainous books as well as Earth Boys Are Easy first if you haven't already, but then read this book.

Oh man, this series just keeps getting better and better with every book! Rafe and Dan make an unlikely couple. An uptight nerd and his party animal, annoyingly hot, and terrible next door neighbor? PLEASE SAY MORE. Honestly, the tension that developed was devine. During the entire book, the romance was developing, but the hilarity was not far behind. There were so many parts of this book that had me CACKLING OUT LOUD. The pumpkin head? PLEASE. Not to mention Frank and Beans. What?! Ah-mazing. Fully invested in this world and eagerly awaiting every new addition to this world.

Holy heck, this story was so great! I adored the characters. I adored being in a world where being trans was NBD. I adored that the author still put in things that are relevant to a trans person’s life, but without the ouch that can come of something because so close to real that it kinda hurts. Not to mention all the twists and turns the story took. The plot was PLOTTING. So. HARD. I purposefully waiting under the sequel was out, and I’m so glad I did because I don’t think I could have survived that cliff hanger. Read this book!

Oof, this book hits where it hurts. The story grabbed me from the very beginning! Trans rage is one of my favorite things to read and this book delivers in abundance! The added notes of a society crushed under the weight of capitalism added with the push for anarchy really resonated with how I feel about today’s political climate. Adding to it spectacular trans Rep, and this book is one you don’t want to miss! It’s not cute and cuddly. Instead it’s full of rage and gore, and it’s perfection.

This book. What can I say? I adored it! No surprise there, but dang I had such a heckin good time reading this one! It was equal parts funny, sweet, and heckin hot! Marshall is uptight, but so caring! He shows his love perhaps differently than others, but is still a Casanova (ahem, pizza. IYKYK). Felix is so teeny and cute! You just want to protect him from the world! FOREVER. Just another pair that owns my soul. 😍😍😍

Give this book a shot!
