Love. Def for older YA readers: darker themes, few spicy scenes, and inappropriate language. A high school romance nonetheless that made me literally laugh out loud occasionally- I love Gibs with my whole heart. Will immediately be picking up the next book. Check trigger warnings if you’re uncomfortable with certain themes.

This was my all time favorite read in high school- wolf lover I’m sorry 🙌🏻 finally re-read after many years. Still a great book but not as great as I remembered it. It’s definitely for a YA audience. Still loved it even after all this time.

Not great. Almost DNF just reading the first chapter, but it kind of gets interesting slightly. Honestly not sure if I hated this or if it was just okay. Don’t know if I’ll read the rest of the series.
