I’ve read so many good books. romances and fantasy mainly, and the conversation was not it. the character’s personalities were being too forced, and as soon as the mmc arrived, it just got so fake and annoying. it was an immediate i hate him to i might actually like him all within one page. so im gonna pass on this one.

This book was really good, but it definitely had its flaws for me. For one, it took me almost an entire month to finish. That might just be a me thing, but it still irritated me. A second thing was the god damn trust issue thing going on. Like, sure maybe the first one was ok, but 600 pages later??! No. now it’s just tiring and not making any sense. i was done with it. I did like how Violet and Dain have started to repair they relationship even if they’re not “friends anymore. I love Imogen now too. Aaric was definitely a little funny surprise, but he didn’t have a big enough roll in this book, which means he still has more left to do.
SAWYERS LEG???!!! poor leg. at least he’s not dead tho.
I’m also liking the character development between Violet and Cat. that was good.

This book was really good, besides the times when i had figured stuff out before the characters had, like the whole Star Diamond being in her cage the whole time. That was obvious since day 1. But i liked how we got to see more of Kolis’s personality and why is the way he is. I now LOVE Rhain. He’s my bff now. Elias is totally gay. I’m just going to call that rn. And what on earth is giving on w Attes and Lilah?? Attes is the best btw. And i love how he doesn’t give a fuck abt how people interpret him. And his sarcasm?! Chef’s kiss. He’s Awesome.
And i love Ash FINALYY saying ily 🥰🥰.

This book was really good! I loved how we got the story told from Casteel’s pov, so we don’t just hear what he’s told Poppy before, but how he actually feels about all of it. The chapters based in the present throughout were also nice to have. BUT CASTEEL SHIFTING?!!!!! LOVED THAT!!!!! Can’t wait for the next book!!!

I don’t think this book is something I could describe, but i’ll try. It was the most beautiful thing i have ever read, replacing my favorite book i’ve had for the last two and a half years. Maybe i loved it so much because i felt i related to the characters so much, longing for just a small something more in life, if it might feel complete, for just a moment even.
The story the book wove had all kinds of emotions to. Want, love, sadness, bitterness, lust, anger, need, frustration, eagerness, hatred, and so much more.
The beauty of this book too, lit does not finish Addie’s story, it is not over, there is still more to it, for i don’t think it will ever be over, not really.
I can’t describe this book more than this, and i don’t think i want to. it deserves to be experienced, not told about.
(It was funny too, because when i finished it, i have expected Luc to be standing behind me.)

This was an amazing book. It was told in the perfect way in the character development was great too. The ending though? I did NOT see that coming. I knew it was supposed to be a sad book, but it still took me a surprise.<spoiler/> The ending was nicely bittersweet too. It was a great story about second chances. And as the book only has nine chapters, I think the author did that on purpose, just to show that life never always finishes where it’s expected to.
