These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong
Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.

Just didn’t get attached to the characters so when something happened I wasn’t invested, pacing was also extremely slow and a lot could’ve been cut out.

From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Did not finish book. Stopped at 71%.

It honestly just had really slow pacing and it took 100s of pages for any real progress and the in between wasn’t interesting

The characters were a little underdeveloped but overall a nice book to get myself out of a reading slump, plus I enjoyed the fact both leads were black.
