The Crimson Moth

3.0

This girl is just out there using her actual PERIOD BLOOD to do spells… you can’t make this shit up lol

I really enjoyed this and I can definitely see why this is such a beloved book! But every time I read a ya book I’m reminded that I’m just not a a ya girlie anymore… to me they feel like they’re kind of lacking something (no I’m not talking about the smut) they just feel kind of shallow and soft to me now

the ending was obviously very predictable and it had me really dreading to read it but also made the story feel a bit boring because I could always tell what would happen next

I LOVED that this was narrated by Lola Tung 🥹 I can’t wait to rewatch the show after finally finally reading this book
I don’t think Belly is a super likeable character but I also think this makes her so relatable

This gave me the same amazing vibes as Phantasma while being something completely different!!

I am extremely sad about this rating and I don’t really want to talk about it (3 stars is still really good and I still enjoyed this book a lot but compared to the rest of this series and how much I was looking forward to this book…. Yeah no….)
I think right after finishing this I’m just very disappointed and I might change this review in a while when I‘ve thought about this book a bit more rationally

The fact that it was hinted at that Riley was conceived in the same night that Gus and Teddy had their first kiss rubs me the wrong way… WHY WHY WHY would you do that to me when Lost and Lassoed is by far my favourite in this series???? Like that makes Gus feel kinda icky to me and I do not want to feel that way about him

This book just didn’t do it for me, I was so bored and Colt was a bit too grumpy for my liking (which says something because I like my mmcs grumpy)
