I don’t like this book because of the polyamorous relationship, and the bully romance. The writing made me hurt, physically hurt. But the girl is hot, that’s all I’ve got to say about it.
Alexis- Only real character and I feel bad for her because of the ending. But she is incredibly hot, not gonna lie. She is highly intelligent so that kinda makes me want to copy off her work.
Kharon- I will always pronounce his name as Karen. Also, I was rooting for him until I realized his plan. No thank you.
Augustus- This man can go die in a ditch. Now. Why does he need to be so damn possessive?! Ugh I hate it and him.
Overall, I just really don’t like the book. Everyone is either trying to fuck Alexis or trying to kill her. While she is just trying to survive because assholes threw her into a war game basically. Not cool.

I felt like this book was well written. Not too much smut, I say this immensely light. But the plot was definitely there, in my opinion.
Sebastian- Sir may have bipolar disorder. His personality switches so much. Love that for him an all, but dang it, there is no way I can keep up.
Yelena- She is an icon. Even if she did things I don’t approve of, but trying to salvage her relationship with Adrian is real.
Overall I’m very happy with the turn out of this book. I like how it points out the fact that girls don’t have much appreciation in Russia or anywhere actually.

This book…only good thing I have to say about it are two characters. Marlee and Celeste. They are icons. But Maxon annoys me on so many levels. America is just being such a pick me and makes every harder than it needs to be. Anyway, I rate this book high because I liked that I finally got what I wanted!

So uh, no thank you. I really did want to like this book, really. I just don’t like America and Aspen. Or really a lot of the characters to be honest. I’m so sorry if this is your fav series, I am trying to like it!

Um. Slay…? I don’t know how I feel about the bonus for Duke and Bo. What I do know is that I love Tennessee and I love how it’s represented. Proud country girl.
Riona- This is a woman that is a boss. She girl bosses so hard people die. Love that. I adore how she became more independent of her life, even if she was already out of her parents’ house. She still realized what she wanted, and thank goodness she went for it.
Raylan- Sir, please stop growling. No need to growl. Also, no one should be calling you ‘Daddy.’ I thought I’d like him, I don’t well at least not in the bedroom. Sorry! 😣 I just can’t with the growling and the nicknames. Besides that, he is a solid character. He has a gentle way of pushing people to a point to get them to see reason. Unless it’s Luke.(iykyk.) He would be a good friend.
Overall this book didn’t cringe me out as bad as I thought it would. The writing was decent, definitely here for entertainment purposes. But, seriously. No more growling.

The fmc makes me mad so much. She is a pick me, no one can tell me otherwise. She is one. If I don’t like a main character, I struggle reading the book. Also, the bokk said ‘alpha’ I hate the word, A LOT.

I’m going to be honest, I tried. I just didn’t like the characters, not together at least. And it’s not because of some higher overview on their relationship, I just don’t think they work well together.
Simone- Only good things I find about her is that she is creative and wants to have a family. Otherwise, I don’t like her. I don’t like the last smex scene they had in the book, it gave me the biggest ick ever. Like Wattpad stuff. I also don’t like how much she relies on Dante so much. Not cool.
Dante- I’ve hated him since the beginning. He isn’t the brooding bf I thought he could be. No he seems like Zade meadows, whom I don’t like all that much. Anyway, I know that he is possessive and all that. BUT HE GROWLED. Not acceptable. Also, he did not have to be so mean to Simone when she told him about the…secret. I don’t like his response, it was unnecessary to be so aggressive.
Overall, this book got lucky for two stars from me. I really did want to like this book. Truly, I did. The writing cringed me out, it felt rushed and childish. More so than usual. Before anyone says these books are for more entertainment than proper writing, I know that. I just feel this book went over the edge too much about it.

I loved this so much I cried. Tears of joy and sadness. And I’m still crying. GIBSIE😭
Gibsie- I am saying his nickname because his full name is for Claire. Anyway, I love this man. More like a best friend though. Hilarious but very much a tender soul. I don’t pity him, but damnit, the shit this man went through. Everyone just needs to back off. Leave him and his girl alone to have their time and no more trauma. PLEASE.🙏
Claire- She is so real for everything she does. Finally sticking up to Lizzie. Like Lizzie can’t be blaming Gibsie forever which everyone knows. So I am overjoyed that Claire finally stood up to her. Also, Claire is such an amazing character. Definitely a girls girl.
Overall I really loved this book. The writing, as usual, is spectacular. I found like one or two spelling errors but it was in Gibsie’s chapter, so I think that was on purpose..? Also, is it bad I don’t hate Lizzie? She lost her sister, and yeah I understand the way she lost her sister is unconventional and not at all as sad as the way Gibsie did. But nonetheless, she still lost a member of her family. And also, she can’t take it out on mark since he isn’t there so she does the next best things. Like Shan says, hurt people hurt people. Even if they don’t want to, they do it still. I did, I know lots of people that do and did. Understandable in my opinion. But overall, like I said. I loved this book, and I’m gonna go finish sobbing in the corner.

Alright, so I actually am starting to really like this series. In the beginning, no thanks. But now? Yeah I adore the characters. A lot.
Nero- I love how honest he is. Also, not being a coward. Sometimes guys are always waiting things out when they aren’t used to being in love or knowing what it is. No, Nero didn’t daddle. He did what he should have done. Also, he is incredibly hot. I had to say it.
Camille- She is such a queen. Also empowering for those who want to have jobs most think are for guys. WHICH THEY ARE NOT BTW. Anyway, I love her because she is a good role model when she isn’t committing illegal activities. But even then, still an icon.
Overall I loved the writing. This is still not perfect literature and I expect nothing less because I adore the fact these books are just for a good time read. Also, I love how short they are. They help with reading slumps. I loved the characters and how they interacted. But I’m concerned about the cop, he flirted with Camille WAY too much. Did Nero notice that? Please tell me he killed him. I know he doesn’t, but I wish he did.

Hear me out, just Daniel. I did like this book, a lot. But if I don’t like a fmc and she is a main character, no thank you.
Luce- I really did like her in the beginning but then in the end she became something of a pick me. I just deal with that. Also, the way she was when Cam and Daniel were fighting over her. And how she acts near Daniel. Oh my goodness. Please STWAP.(I love that word btw.) Penn kept her under control I feel like.
Daniel- I don’t have much to say about him besides that he is an amazing character. I really do like him in general. A good man right there.
Overall the writing was well, and I adored how everyone acted. But I hated the end. I just can’t with it, it was cringe not gonna lie.
