Samgel did it again!

When I started PoC I was NOT sold on the Princes. Pace was too creepy, Lex to clinical and Wick just straight up a piece of sh*ลฅ. After the Cleansing I couldn't see how I would ever like the them, but OMG did that turn around in this book! Actually, many characters changed in this book. Mama B came around and showed why she is what she is (a mama bear). We also got to see Verity as a real Princess.

I'm not sure Michael's really dead. It was something extremely fishy with the "task" Ashby gave Lex that he couldn't tell the others, not even his brothers. Sus af.

To Create is to Reign!

This is probably the most boring book in the "Dark Romance-genre" I have ever read. I started this book in october 2022 and finished it today, 27/12-23. It has taken me 14 month to get done with this book because every time I picked it up, I couldn't read more than a couple of pages before I was bored out of my mind.

The writing is no good either. Everything is repeated at least 10 times and my eyes is stuck inside my head after all the eye-rolling I did. And don't let me get started on their goddamn names; Rayne,  Snow, Storm, Wynter and lets not forgett Frost-Entreprice. *eyetwitch*

I AM SO TORN ABOUT THIS SERIES!!!!

This book absolutly destroyed me ๐Ÿ’” 

I have to say, some of Aurora's choices doesn't make sense to me. But I'm having high hopes for the third and forth book. 

Bennett is just weird af. He feels sorry for Aurora getting "dragged into this", but still does the things he do to her....? Grow a fucking back bone, man.

I'm torn about this book. I like the premises, but maybe not the execution?

I have absolutly NO idea how the author is gonna redeem the MMC, because Bennett is probably the most evil MMC I have ever read about.

The prequel and the first half of the book is extremely fucked up. I almost had to DNF, but I stuck around. The last half of the book was disappointing tho ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

The plot is too obscure. How/why is nobody looking for the "big makeup mogul" who disappeared the day after making a million dollar in surplus after she launched her makeup brand? Her fiancรฉ was killed and then her bestie were kidnapped and you're telling me NOBODY is looking for them? She "signed" her company over to MMC... isn't this a major papir trail?

The opening of the door in the jet mid flight; is this even physically possible?

There are also many grammar and spelling errors in this book. The author needs a better editor AND better alpha/beta-team. Some actions the MCs are doing makes no sense. I feel the author probably should read up on... crime and crime solving?

I'm giving this book 3โญ๏ธ because I absolutly LOVED how fucked up the first half was. The dry ice was a nice touch IYKYK.

It took me one whole month to read this and I regret giving it my time. The plot is meh, the writing goes on and on and on about some thoughts they and it's repeating.

I'm not sure if reading the third book is worth it.

I don't understand the author's choice when setting this book in a sci-fi-world. There is NOTHING happening that couldn't be happening on earth lol.

Ofc I read the second book before the first one... ๐Ÿ˜‚

Good story with great characters. I love Scarlet!! She's such a drama queen AND a BAMF!!
Lennox grew on me, but I seriously thought he had many personalities in the beginning of the book. I could not get a read on him.

The writing's good. The scenes on the island was kinda hard to follow because SO many things was happening at once. And who actually lives in the manor? And the island have an insane asylum but no ferry? Kinda weird, but okay...

Maddox did NOT get what he deserved!!!
