Maybe this book isn't for me. Guess I am the society this dude was talking about because "the audacity of him talking like that?" Simply put he is a man and being a man he considers women as objects. Who doesn't love that huh? But for some odd reason I do have a little sympathy for this man.

Gonna be honest, i hated tate as a character. She literally sucks. Her attitude towards every.single.girl in the book was horrible. Besides that i literally read it in one sitting. Really easy book to read. Nothing too special about it.

 It was a really fun permise for a book. It did take me a really long time to finish it but it was really encapsulating nonetheless.
If at any point one is feeling useless and empty I feel like this book could really help them in a way. Just reading this could remove  many "what ifs" from ones mind.

 Its my fault that I read this book even though there were SO MANY signs for me to not read it. This is an insane book but I won't be too harsh because its fiction. But romanticizing this should NOT be allowed. Like ain't no way irl a girl is gonna fall for her stalker who SA her multiple times. The whole concept is completely mindboggling .

With that being said, it ended on a cliffhanger and I'm gonna read the next book (which I heard is even more insane)

I think my expectations for this book were too high. Its not the best thing I've read but it was okay. The last quarter of the book was a pain to read for some reason i just couldn't be bothered to finish it but i read it eventually.

 Read this book a few years back and i loved it. Read it again, a few years later and loved it. And then i read it a 3rd time this past week and yeah, LOVED IT!

The atmosphere, The character descriptions and Kaz Brekker, everything was just perfect!

A pretty fun book to read. The story telling and writing was literally top-tier. And the ending too...woah! Legitimately amazing.

Never thought I would be reading something fantasy related and that to being about faeries... but this was good and I would probably be continuing this series.

 This was a pretty good book. Read it in a day. Its a quick read and and it kind of gets you involved emotionally. Of course we cant ignore the relationship between Miles and Rachel because that's weird as hell.
I gave it 2.75 stars because i really did enjoy the book but there were some writing choices by the author that i wasn't a fan of so that made me not give it 3/4 stars. Its not a 5 star read but i guess one can enjoy the book if you overlook some stuff from the book.

Dragged in some places but still a fun book to read. Not a fan of age-gap but this one was fine.
