What a great and interesting story! Totally love all the tropes and elements;
Shapeshifters, animals, war/rebellion, Found family, love triangle romance with a bit of spice and some good twists.
There are many loveable and interesting characters. I find Devlin really intruiging and I love the vibe he adds to the story. Rune, as I already knew from Hide, is such a wholesome cutie. I love his personality. There's one character that almost made me threw away my kindle.. making me so frustrated with her angry behaviour towards Aislinn. So yes, I did experience all kinds of emotions while reading this book. Also some very dark and emotional scenes which I love!
I really enjoyed the action scenes and the power development of Aislinn and the character development of Liam.
I was also pleasantly surprised with the spicy scenes. They were really good!
Love the writing and the development of the story. Gina did a great job! Truly enjoyed it!
What I liked slightly less was the beginning of the story. I struggled because the interaction between Aislinn and Liam was a bit frustrating to read with the stubborness and the annoyance and I wasn't liking how the story was going at first but then I just couldn't put it down, it was soooo good.
Thank you for the arc!

I loved this!!! The perfect spicy valentine's read if you enjoy MMFM and MM action.
I love Juliet, the FMC, I think she is amazing and adorable. How she often says her thoughts out loud is such a fun character trait in this book.
The 3 MMC's , G.O.D ( Grayson, Oliver and Declan) are just incredible. I love how they differ in character. O is submissive , G is a bad daddy and D the good daddy. The dynamics are perfect. Together they create such a wholesome vibe and ahhh I couldn't get enough of them.
I was only wishing for me to be Juliet honestly. Eventho she had to go through some heartbreaking stuff, I wouldn't mind if that means to end up with these hot bosses.
I devoured this book and enjoyed it so much, I totally recommend!

Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare
Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.

So much info dumping. Too descriptive about every little detail. Too complicated. I lost interest since it was too boring and I had no clue where this was going and couldnt find the motivation to continue.

Oh I really loved and enjoyed reading this one!!
My very first proper MM Romance with great spice, amazing humor, dark/traumatic pasts and paranormal elements. This story, for me, was one of a kind!
Eventho it is so traumatic it was still lighthearted with the humor of the characters and the writing style. AHH it was so good!
I was a bit scared at first knowing the amount of pages, it really is a big boy. But I had no complaints, never got boring, always interesting and captivating. I devoured it in 3 days and I was sad when it was over. Always a good sign!
So many loveable characters! Great development of the story and the characters! The gay awakening was a trope well done!! I am having a hard time describing all the things I liked about this book because everything was just great.
I love the message of this book a lot, how they both need each other to heal and deal with there traumatic life experiences, making each other better and stronger, more confident, making each other complete. Love it!!! They are perfect together!
I recommend this to anyone who loves a dark and twisted MM Romance with paranormal elements. You won't regret it!

This was crazyyyyyy. Fast paced, multi povs, spicy, filthy, sci-fi vibes and just so wilddd!!
There are 2 scenes I really can't get out of my head because of how disturbing they were. Any sane person would say these authors need brainsurgery to remove their unholy dark and twisted ideas BUT I am not sane. I loved it. So fucked up good!
This might be really heavy on the erotic horror part but it still had a genius plot that I had a hard time to wrap my head around because it was so unexpected and crazy haha!
Great characters, great plot, written by great authors!
Some scenes were a bit too rushed and unclear where I wished it would've been written out with more details BUT I enjoyed the story so much and it definitely is one of a kind!!
I recommend this to all the crazy people out there who love the most dark and twisted erotic horror stories in existence. Enjoy the wild ride !

Daniele Vaccaro did a great job presenting us daily life with its real and raw thoughts and emotions. Real life struggles with a touch of either fantasy, science fiction or true believe (depending on your view on things about life and death). A very emotional but enjoyable read.
It was heartbreaking but beautiful to follow Robert in his journey of life (and death). To know what he has to deal with, what he has gone through and what he is truly longing for in the end.
AND He never gave up on his dream, how unrealistic it might sound. All thanks to his true love who never thought he was crazy and who always believed in him. Robert and Janet are so wholesome together.
In my opinion, It did have some repetitive descriptions of thoughts and feelings but it wasn't too bothersome. Overal I really enjoyed reading this and am glad I got to experience their life.
The biggest message this story gave me is realizing what is important in life and what love really means but also to never give up on your dreams.
Thank you for this beautiful story!

I truly loved it!!! LOVE LOVE LOVEEE.
I was really curious to see what would happen with Finnian and Cassian after reading The Goddess Of. And ofcourse it was another beautiful story. The Display of real and raw emotions, the meaning of life, death and love, the struggles in life.. It was magnificent. π«
Once again I felt so connected with the story and the characters. It was very captivating and immersive. Very well written and a great plot! π
I really love the way the plot has been written out with the mix of past and present and how it is intertwined with the first book.. Perfection. ππ»
Ugh.. I am devastated and so emotional right now. I once again cried my eyeballs out in the end. A mixture of sad and happy tears. π₯Ή
Thank you so much Randi! It was incredible!!! π
ARGHH.. This duology means a lot to me, it holds a special place close to my heart. Definitely both belong to my favorite reads. π«Άπ»π«Άπ»π«Άπ»
It also made me think and understand more about emotions and death (as someone who feels so alone and is scared of death π€).
Thank you thank you thankyou!!! Lots of love for you Randi. ππ»

What a great fucking book. π―βΌοΈ
It completely broke me, several times, and I loved it! A good kind of torture.
I loved the plot, the setting and its elements, the writing, the descriptions, the characters... I loved every single moment!! π«Άπ»
Her writing is so immersive that I felt so connected with the story and the characters. It was so easy to visualize it in my head.
It had so many devastating moments; the traumatic past, the heartbreak.. which made me cry multiple times but it was ooo so beautiful !
It also had many adorable, heartwarming, admirable and funny scenes. What I especially enjoyed is how the FMC gets to explore the mortal ways. [the funny supermarket scene lives forever in my head]. π€
OHH and all these descriptions of delicious foods were maddening! I wish I could have eaten it all. π€£
Shoutout to the FMC who is truly amazing. She is inspiring for staying good and kind while she has been suffering for centuries by people who are supposed to love her...
Absolutely amazing! Truly enjoyed it and devoured it in 2 days!! π
Th cover is also really fucking stunning btw!! and I am so happy there was some artwork in the book aswell! I love when authors do that. π₯°
Thank you so much Randi! Can not wait to read Even in Death to see what happenes with Finny. π₯Ή
PS: Even the acknowledgments was beautiful and made me cry. π₯²
