shut up i loved this. 

this book is certainly above average in the fantasy romance genre - very much on par with One Dark Window. Unique magic system, interesting world, and wonderful characters. a hidden gem. 

the age gap killed me 💀 i love an age gap every once in a while, but an obsession with her purity and the constant reminder that he held her as a baby etc. was just honestly shotttt. 
i couldn’t get over the fact that it was giving pedophile 😭

Pits & Poison: These Godly Lies

DID NOT FINISH

i was so into the first book - can’t find a fuck to give about the second. i just truly don’t feel like finishing it, so i’m not gonna force myself. 

scratched the small town romance itch in my brain - as elsie silver always does. i love stefan, not my favorite one of her characters (theo silva superiority always) but one that i like. mira is sweet. 
it’s a solid elsie silver book, did what it needed to do for me. solid 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

beautifully written, compelling story. i truly enjoyed most of this book, but the ending was so disappointing - it made me feel like it wasn’t worth my time or energy. i’m still deciding if it was, no conclusion yet. 

elsie. fucking. silver. 

easy to read, immaculate vibes, and cowboys. 

welp. that was hot 

can’t give it a 5 because it took me about 50-75 pages to get into, but once i got into it - WOW. the writing, the POVs, the concept!? yup. wow.
