REVIEW FOR KING OF SLOTH ⏱️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 stars

Hugh thank you to @authoranahuang and her team for the ARC! King of Sloth hits shelves tomorrow 🎉

Listen…I have said time and time again that whatever Ana Huang writes, I will read. She is an absolute autobuy author for me. King of Sloth is no exception!

I loved the opposites attract vibes in this book. Xavier is carefree, appears lazy, charming and suave. Sloane works hard, gives tough love, shows little emotion and is a boss b*tch. While they may run in the same social circles, their polarity gave such great tension and LET 👏🏼 ME 👏🏼 TELL 👏🏼 YOU… duct tape? WOW 🥵🥵🥵

This is a standalone novel, but all of Ana’s novels operate in the same world, and that was probably more true than previous books. Characters from her Twisted series and her If series and I loved those little tidbits. 

I would have liked the ending to have been fleshed out a tad more, and I feel like there were a couple plot points that fell to the wayside, but this might be my favorite Kings of Sin book yet! Daddy Xavi just…SWOON 😍

Did not finish book. Stopped at 31%.
I struggled connecting with the characters and story and felt it tried a little too hard
