all the characters in this book just annoyed me and the “plot twist” was such a disappointment, if i can even call it a plot twist.

this book is so good??!??!? i was not expecting to like it so much omg. i’m not new to knotting or anything of the sort so im not weirded out by it like some of yall. i loved this, the writing is so good. lowe. that’s all. lowe. he is literally perfect and such a green flag. so respectful and such a good character. i love him sm. i want his pov so badly but the snippets he gives us every now and then of what was going on in his mind is so good. their tension was immaculate and the moments he was protective over her and scared for her safety, had me on my KNEES bro my heart was fluttering so hard. love misery as well, she’s such a good fmc. i love how much the Were community slowly started to care about her, like the found family was so cute. love lowe and misery together, love this book sm.

this was a simple read and i loved it sm. oakley and quinton are so cute together. the tension in the beginning was so good. and the character development of quinton was perfect. he was kinda embarrassing in that one scene in the beginning but other than that i love him. 

i loved seeing them fall in love but tbh i feel like sometimes it wasn’t shown how they got closer and closer, it was just told to us or it just jumped to them being closer and im left wondering like when did they get to close. but it was good. i still enjoyed it a lot. 

there was a 3rd act “breakup” but i loved it in this. i usually hate that micro trope but i loved it in this because there was only good during their agreement and nothing bad was happening to them so i was getting kind of bored. so when the drama started, i was eating that shit up. angsty but i loved it. 

anyway i think they’re so perfect for each other and i enjoyed this so much. the ending was so good.

the angst, the tension, the drama, the plot twists???? so good. even though i guessed most of the plot twists in this series it was still good. i still gasped every time they were revealed. 

this was so good because there was almost always something going on.

the beginning when kirill thought sasha was dead?

teaaaaa.

the tension between maksim and anton???

teaaaaaa. i knew they loved each other since the first book. 

sasha’s character is my favorite fmc in rinaverse so far. she is everything i needed her to be and more. she’s such a badass and she didn’t lose her badassness after falling in love with kirill, in fact she got even more badass. i loved it so much. this is what was missing from rai. 

the only thing i thought was boring was the whole cabin arc

when kirill and sasha stayed in the cabin for weeks after being attacked in the forest or smth. like ik it was for them to fix their relationship, kind of, and for sasha to realize she’s still in love with kirill. but it was a little slow. i need drama.

also the beginning when they just had communication problems or

when sasha didn’t want to believe anything kirill was telling her was annoying but they got over it.

everything else was great. 

also vaughn!

so adorable in the epilogue. i love that everyone got a happy ever after that deserved it.

i’m a little sad that maksim isn’t working for kirill anymore but the fact that he’s happily living in russia with anton and that one child, mike(?),

is adorable. i love kirill sm and badass sasha. such an amazing trilogy.

God of Fury by Rina Kent

5.0

i had such high expectations for this book and it exceeding every single expectation by light years. 

i love this book so much. it is such a masterpiece. bran and niko will never leave me head i know it. they had such good communication for the most part and it was so so good. 

niko is so understanding of bran and they love each other so much. literally had me sobbing. this story is so so incredible. everything about it was amazing i literally have no complaints it was so so good. i love niko and bran so much. 

i relate to bran so much about hating yourself so much that you can’t possible imagine someone else loving you or that you think you’re a failure in the family and that you have to have a routine because being left alone with your mind is detrimental. i’m so happy he found niko and niko was able to help him. 

i love love the scene with lan in the hospital. i love lan so much and im so happy that it was shown that he truly cares about bran so much and he loves him. i’m so happy that they’re close again and that bran isn’t pushing lan away anymore. it makes so happy that they’re close and they know that the other twin loves them so much.

i love landon sm. 

i loved when

lan and niko put away their hatred and got together to get revenge on the person who hurt bran for years.

i truly love this story so much. it’s so good, it had the perfect amount of funny, angst, smut, love, and healing. i love niko and bran, i love lan, i love levi and astrid, i love kyle, i love rem creigh and eli. outstanding book.

now what if i tell yall i’ve loved landon since the first book. 

i saw someone say this book was just like jeremy’s book but what if i told yall i liked this one so much more than jeremy and cecily and it’s so much better than god of wrath. 

landon, certified psycho, i love him so much. i think im loving the books where the men do the little simple things for their girl. like yeah the possessiveness and jealousy is great and you can protect her from others and say how much you care and love her but it’s the little things that they do to show how much they care that matters to me. i think that’s why i love creighton and landon so much more than kill and jeremy. 

it’s the little things like lan

learning sign language for her, taking care of her plants for her, making statues of her for his exhibition, willing to change his thought process and learn empathy and see things from her perspective when all his life he cared about himself, willing to break his own artist wrists so he won’t lose her, going to a truce with his enemies for her, learned about her families hobby and got close to them bc he thought it would make her happy, killing the one person that took her voice away so she can speak again. and her first word in a decade was “landon”.

like yeah he’s a psycho but you can’t deny he loves and cares about mia so much and i love him for that. i will be a landon defender. all the things he did for her makes me sob. 

creighton and landon are superior. maybe im biased bc they’re kings but maybe not bc i liked asher and adrian’s books too. kings are just superior.

mia is such a badass i’m so happy she

got her voice back. maya though??? like wtf are you doing.

 

kyle doing a whole 180 on landon after finding out he protected mia and maya is so funny to me. dude protected landon from the police and loves him.

i love how in the epilogue we see

that landon is close with his siblings.

but i love landon, and i love mia. the snippet we get of levi astrid and aiden was funny and cute. i miss them. such a good book. loved and enjoyed it a lot.

God of Wrath by Rina Kent

this book felt 50 years long. i was expecting so much from this book because everyone talks about how amazing it is and how it’s the best book from the series and let me just say i'm so  disappointed. maybe my expectations were too high but there was nothing really special about it. 

it was a toxic relationship that has no communication skills until the very end, they’ll fuck three times before they even talk about their problems, if they even talk about it. which they rarely ever do until they can’t hold it in and then blow up on the other person with anger. honestly this book is not as good as people make it seem, like yes jeremy did cute things for cecily but if i do say so myself creighton was such a better boyfriend. 

also jeremy was kinda hypocrite. also cecily was so annoying half the time. jeremy was a good guy when he wanted to be and those scenes were cute. other times he was insufferable but cecily was just as insufferable, if not more. 

they had their cute moments but this book was dragged on for so long with so much going on but also nothing. it was alright, it didn’t hit as good, maybe bc i read it right after god of pain and i absolutely loved gop so this didn’t have a chance tbh. but still i expected more. i think my expectations were too high.
