I usually have neutral feelings about found family, this is a first that I strongly have feelings for that trope and it is a positive one. Single parent romance is one of my go to genre/trope and I was not disappointed with this one! I found it icky at first because of the whole she’s my brother’s ex-fiancèe but i easily got over that. I can’t deny that I’ve felt tears running down my face a couple of times, it was just soooooo good. I feel bad for peter tho at the end, but he’ll get over it. He has his chance. Some things are not meant to be. I can’t wait to get to the next book!! I can’t wait to read other book of hers!

Ahhhhhh!! What a journey!! I think this is my fave book in the series so far. I know I’ve also said this when I fonish HoF but there were parts in HoF that I was bored to death. But this.. i enjoyed it so much I finished it too soon 😩😩 Finally!! Our Queen is home and Dorian is free!! Although I hated Chaol from the first page up to atleast 75% of the book, I think Chaol has grown in the last few chapters. I just hope he doesn’t get to be annoying again because THE KING NEEDS HIM. Now is the chance to prove him that he is a good friend. I am honestly scared to read EoS and ToD because the ending is already good, and if it’s THAT good then there are more things to happen.

That was satisfying!! And hilarious! maybe the healthiest relationship I’ve ever seen in a book. (So far!) While reading this I had so much to say about it, but I’ll be giving away too many spoilers if I say them all. The plot twist tho… MY JAW… WAS DROPPED. FOR A SOLID THREE MINUTES BEFORE IT SUNKED IN. I kept reading the same lines over and over again because I did not see that coming! It was hilarious tho.. until Garret opened his mouth. That ruined it for me… anyway. I loved this book so much! I read off campus series except for the 4th and 5th book, which I regret only slightly, because i don’t really like the trope in 4th book. 😂 Anyway, I AM SOOOOO READING THE REST OF THIS SERIES!

I have yet to see a book I do not like written by Lauren Asher 😅 I’m honestly tempted to collect all her books. Anyway, I love this! I love this so much this is easily a 5 star read for me. The infertility issues and health issues tackled in this book was so real it breaks my heart. I know these topics are very sensitive and it’s hard to write a good book tackling these kind of topics but I’m glad she got around that. Julian and Dahlia’s animosity towards each other was very entertaining and I always catch myself laughing when they are bickering with each other. I can’t wait for Rafa and Ellie’s story to unfold! 🥺

I thought I outgrew my vampire/werewolf phase, but alas! Not really! I’m honestly reeling! This book is a feel good book, I’m surprised Ali managed to pull it off considering it’s quite different from the usual genre that she’s tends to write. I didn’t expect much from it and honestly, it was better than I thought it would be. I enjoyed it very much. And it was also… 🥵🥵🥵 the intensity of the spice was different, considering the omegaverse. I didn’t even know it was called that 😂 but I gained some new information while reading this. 🤣

The plot went from like 10% from the past 3 books I’ve read to straight up 50% 😬 I know still have a long way to go in this series but I AM OBSESSED. I love Rowan!!! Even tho I was spoiled on that part, I still enjoyed reading how they started. I can’t wait for more Aelin and Rowan. I can finally start calling her Aelin now because she finally embraced that name, she finally acknowledged that she is more powerful and she holds more influence as Aelin than Celeana (well duh! She is the heir of fire and ash and a true queen), I am so proud of her and despite her being slightly ann0ying in the past few books, I’m starting to love her and she’s becoming one of my fave FMCs. I can’t wait for her and Arobynn’s face off!! 🤣 AHHHH I JUST KNOW I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SERIES!!!
