“I couldn’t see anything. Fear punched through me. Had the contacts rolled into the back of my eyes while I slept and severed my optic nerves? Was that even possible?
Aly groaned somewhere nearby. “What is that sound?”
“I don’t know. I’ve gone blind,” I said, voice laced with panic.”
man’s hilarious. i don’t like the lack of plot and (some of) the stalker bit. this is my first stalker book—i know it’s not as far as most of them are but this one was a good place for me to begin i feel. i don’t know if ill ever read another one because they tend to be darker than this.
this man is still so unserious in the most serious situations and i love it.
THEY ARE SO MADE FOR EACH OTHER!!
why did they just like.. kill someone so causally? not that he didn’t deserve it but still. they were cracking jokes after. i can’t even talk im just a morbid.
the MOB? she just causally had family connections to THE MOB?!?!?
They got married fast ngl. also they were getting it on before she even knew his name!! like girl STAND UP.
i can’t say i understand because i dont. but she was really freaking horny. like.. REAL horny.
i don’t know.. it was funny and i was hardly ever bored, but i was upset about all the smut. like can we have some more plot please?
i want to give it a three but i feel like it shouldn’t be there? so i dont know.
audio book was amazing 🤘🏽. OH MY GOD. THE DIALOGUE WHEN IT GOT TO THE SMUT SCENES.
END.ME.NOWWW. they were so cringe. this is lowkey very millennial core.. NO OFFENSE!!
PEACE.

I’ve read this book because i simply could not live with the show and the movie being discontinued.
yet the way jace was totally up valentines ass still boggles the shit out of my brain. don’t get me wrong i get it BUT even i would’ve been skeptical about the dad thing.
it’s like his brain went out the window when valentine went all ‘luke, i am your father.’ LIKE GET A GRIP!
anyways, i def loved the crumbs i was getting from jace and clary.
OMG the BEEF between alex and clary KILLS ME. he is so in the closet he feels the need to put hands on her?? crayZ!!
also this was surprising comedic. like i was cackling at this girls monologue AND the dialogue. she spoke her mind a lot and i didn’t hate it.
please don’t make simon and her date in the books please please please.
why can’t anyone just believe luke the good? he told clary the WHOLE TRUTH. and they still think they’re siblings?
bro valentines manipulation HAS to be good for jace to believe that he is a WHOLE other person.
i’m writing this in my notes app as im finishing this up so it’s so long because things just keep popping up 😐.
sigh.. just remembered they are literally fifteen. no wonder they’re so gullible.
i find the ending ironic. tho they think they’re related they still not acting it.

it’s a really good start to the series but I feel it could be misinterpreted as the wrong thing. I feel it’s more of a romantic drama than a mysterious, good girl bad guy, enemies to lovers type of manga. The bond between the two characters happened really fast and I feel there was no time for yearning or deep rooted chemistry and feelings to come into play. The storyline does have potential and it definitely isn’t the worst thing I’ve read. I feel like it could really be something in the future.

Wicked Gods by Michelle Hercules
i don’t really know what to do lol. the only male love interest i find okay is Morpheus, but i don’t know if he can make me read the rest of the series 😭.
things i didn’t like 😞
-when the love interests would do something then be mad that they did it?? like if it isn’t the consequences of your own actions 🤯.
-the random O Phoenix give her like WHAT??? why did they think that was okay. IN THE MIDDLE OF CLASS!!
-we don’t see a lot of Rosie (even if we did i ain’t like her) i feel like Daisy didn’t really need a sister cuz she wasn’t even important.
-also why’d they think a 14-15 yr old was okay to just live alone while her sister went to this once in a life time school?
-the mystery plot with the silver whatever just disappears
-TOBY A 17 maybe 18 YEAR OLD TALKING TO ROSIE the 14-15 YEAR OLD and Daisy not giving af is wild.
-Daisy was too forgiving(??) like what is wrong with her actually 😭. after the diner incident and she’s in unearthly desires and intoxicated Rufio comes up to her touching her n stuff n she’s turned on 😭!!
-the random dry humping after Felicitys bday like plz tell me you don’t have an idea for the plot without telling you don’t have an idea for the plot.
-i didn’t hate Bryce but at times he was too hot and cold like literally stfu spoiled brat god 😭
-Phoenix. i didn’t like him for more then half to book. til he was literally in the ocean to help daisy is when i stopped HATING him(still don’t like him)
-the fact she’s a helpless defenseless norm. ik this is my fault for continuing after the fact but idk i thought she’d turn out op in the end 😭😭(im delusional)
-OMFG THE PRINCIPAL I HATE THAT BITCH. mrs “i can handle my students” like she was the LEAST HELPFUL PERSON THERE!!
-Bryce’s random kidnapping. they held him for 48 hours just to release him with some riddle about Daisy not being okay.
-also at the end when Bryce is there and helped Daisy and they kissed. i don’t know i love love or whatever but i don’t think it was needed.(maybe i don’t love love cuz why is this in the hate list it’s literally just a kiss 😭)
-romance wasn’t romancing. ik it’s a bully romance and whatnot but insta-lust is gross guys.
- i get that idols are dangerous n shit but my god people warning Daisy about them like she doesn’t know first hand how dangerous they were pissed me off (ALSO POPPY or mr x THROWING IT IN HER FACE AT FELICITYS PARTY MADE ME SO MAD.)
-i don’t like the way they talking about women. it’s incredibly sad and gross.
guilty pleasures in this
-Toby (beside him being a child lover)
-Morpheus.
-MORPHEUS’S SMILE PLZZZZ
-Morpheus’s powers also intrigue me like i see the potential!!
- i didn’t like Rufio tbh but like half way he kind of grew on me?? idkkkk.
-i liked her high. she was fun yk besides the dry humping n literally ditching Rosie.
-the bluntness the love interests had blew me away at times it was too funny.
