I love this book just as much as I loved Honey & Spice. Kiki & Malakai are it for me. I love everything about them!
Super emotional, deep, and I have no notes

Author has removed book from platforms and has taken a break from socials. August 2025
All that to say that it’s a shame because she has something amazing here. Such a great debut novel and I wish there was more. Amazing concept and story based of mesoamerican mythology. I selfishly want her to return soon, so I wish her the best

I love Ava & Roman. This book was miles ahead of the first two. With book 1 & 2 I felt like the men had more of a story, were focused on more, just wanted more from the FMCs. This book however was such a good mix of both, and showed a deeper side of Ava that connected me to her character. Also, the spice was spicin in this one

This is a beautiful story. A different take on living forever that really made you think about Addie’s situation and how you would fare if it happened to you.
That ending had me in tears. So good.
Not a typical, drama filled, huge build up, epic romance, so it’s not for everyone.

I didn’t dislike it but I also wouldn’t recommend it. Rollercoaster of emotions and not in a good way. I went from being intrigued, I don’t get it, okay here we go, and wtf was that.
I didn’t feel the “I would do anything for my sister” connection which is probably why I didn’t buy into it. I loved the concept but not the story.
I do absolutely love the way she describes the flavors of emotions. The twists were great too

Good sequel. I love these characters. Such a cute, lighthearted read. Only negative I can really say is that her ruining into lost/dead family members felt inauthentic. Also, a lot happened that i don’t know if it was actually needed but we’ll see. Patiently waiting for the next book, should be great

This book took so long to actually make sense. I think I was about 30% in when I soft dnf’d. picked it back a week later because so many raved about it but it wasn’t for me.
I didn’t understand what was actually happening until about 70% in and I just wasn’t invested in the characters or story. The romance was cute & the last few chapters were good

This book is absolutely amazing and altered my brain chemistry.
It’s based on the Chinese legend of the Four Beauties. Do yourself a favor and do an immersive read
