For me, personally, this book is not horrible, but it wasn't good either. It just ... was/is.

I don't know why, but lately a lot of "witchy" stories, have just not been great to me except for a few. But this one especially. 
There was no world building, at all. We just know that she lives on an island, tides are bad, and there is a mainland for non witches. 
The magic system was kind of unique? But at the same time, we have good magic and then "dark" magic that apparently is not really dark. But it definitely seems dark by what can be done with it. But then the good magic is also bad for nature, so it's like insane to me. Imo, all of the magic was bad honestly.
The FMC was so immature. She is supposed to be in her 20's and yet acts like she's 13 and controlled by nothing but her hormones and does not know how to make a decision at all. I got so much second hand embarrassment.
The MMC is supposed to be a bad boy, but just seemed very one dimensional with no personality what so ever.

The only good thing I do have to say and why this was not 1 star for me, is that the author is excellent with words. It was her writing that kept me reading & listening in hopes that the actual characters and plot would get better. Alas, they did not. 

So this one was a bust for me. But you may love it, so check it out for yourself and feel free to let me know in the comments if you love it or hate it! 

Happy reading babes!

I get it now, sorta? maybe? kinda? ๐Ÿค”

Listen, I LOVE Pen's writing, she is who got me in to bully romance, so obviously I was in to the book. But, some parts were so cringe, other parts I am wondering if any of these men are redeemable in any way. It was also kind of obvious who the big "villain" was going to be. And Rika, she was spineless for the majority of the book. Which I get that was sort of the point, but it was still hard to read. And Michael, I understand why now when I see people telling others to read this series, they never talk about him as their favorite. Like what even was that? Even after everything Damon had done, Michael is still the most toxic out of the entire group and nobody will change my mind on that.

The characters and their stories were enough to keep me interested though and to continue the series. So Kai's book is already on the way to me as I type this and I cannot wait to dive in to his story asap. ๐Ÿ˜

Not a cockroach cursed spirit, wtf man ๐Ÿคข

Yuta is that dude. The action in this volume was top notch. I just wish we would start reuniting to fight against Kenjaku. These volumes are feeling more like filler if anything since the people our mains are fighting arenโ€™t crucial to the overall storyline. And the whole hunger games plot is kinda strange. But it is still enjoyable regardless and Iโ€™m going to keep reading. ๐Ÿ˜‚

- Elise being a baddie as per usual. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

4.5/5โญ

This sequel was just as good as the first book. Even better in many ways. The fight scenes were phenomenal and made me want to rewatch Vikings for the 207th time. The slow burn between Elise and Legion was EVERYTHING, I LOVE a good, real slow burn romance, and this was it. The spice? There was spice guys! Did anybody know it got spicy? Because I did not and I was shocked and clutching my pearls. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Elise grew so much more in this book, I hate everything she keeps having to go through, but she is handling it all with such grace, and a tad bit of anger. (To be expected honestly.) Legion made me want to slap him a few times, which made me begrudgingly like him even more. Jk, I am in love with this man. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฅต

The story was a tad bit slow at parts, but once it picked up, I did not want to put it down. I am obsessed with LJ Andrews writing and I am so excited to see where the rest of this series goes.

While I still like it, I feel like the last two volumes made my head literally spin. We just got from Shibuya, and that devastation, to now a whole culling game? wtf. Hunger games JJK edition ig? May the cursed spirits be ever in your favor. ๐Ÿ˜
