Extremely disturbing to read but I enjoyed the vigilante justice against these sick people.

I’ve been in a reading slump most of 2025 TBH, so I was very excited to receive an ARC copy in advance of publishing. Man this book was one I couldn’t put down. Kate Campfield had me attached to our main characters early on in book #1 and book #2 kept the flow going!! I really enjoyed getting to know more of our supporting characters like Allie, Stacey, Lawton, and more as we see more of Rory and Nate’s relationship unfolding after learning that Nate had been hiding some secrets from Rory that made her doubt herself and her past. Amongst all this relationship obstacles, we really got to see Nate and Rory navigate some tough family issues that resonated with me. It felt like I couldn’t put the book down because I absolutely HAD to know what came next and would Rory and Nate get a happy ending?

⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

🌶️🌶️/5

Listen…the plot idea was there. I loved the premise of this book and the storyline. However, the writing came off as juvenile to me and the characters just weren’t likeable to me.

I received an ARC of this book and boy oh boy am I so glad I got to read this book and didn’t have to wait until 2025.

This book gave me the cozy Hallmark vibes the whole way through. I loved the way we didn’t have to bumble through too much awkwardness and just got to soak in the comfortable relationship. It felt so real that two people who had known each other forever could just step back into friendship and slowly approach the romance side of things.

And that ending????? Please Kate we need book two ASAP.

“All guys should read romance.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah. It’s literally a roadmap written by women, explaining exactly what a girl wants in her perfect guy.”

SWOON. MISTER MACKLIN TAYLOR YOU ARE SWOON-WORTHY.

My favorite book of the whole series 😭❤️😭

A very interesting and twisty tale, it was just a bit too wordy and felt like certain points just dragged on unnecessarily.

While Persephone literally makes everything worse, I love Hades. He’s just a God trying to understand mortals and love. I loved the story development and the lessons Seph learned the hard way. I am soooo curious for what’s to come next!

Screaming crying throwing up. This book ripped my heart to shreds and made me really evaluate myself.

I enjoyed the series but this last book was the worst. Jon is insufferable the whole time.

As much as I enjoyed the book, 4 stars because I found it hard to understand what Aiden’s deal was honestly.

Literally had me on the edge of my seat. I loved the thrill of the mystery unspooling as the small flames of a romance grew. Absolutely delicious.

Deranged? Yeah. Messed up? Without a doubt. Did I love it and devour it as fast as I could anyways? Absolutely. And I’d do it again.

This book had me giggling and kicking my feet. The characters were real and had true depth to them. Their story is intricately woven together. It’s posed as an enemies to lovers but rather the game was the “enemy” all along.

Understanding that I am not to ever like Coriolanus Snow, I went into this book open-minded otherwise. Getting a glimpse into his twisted brain and the events that contributed to his rise to power and drive to do what he did in the main portion of the series. As much as I hate and loathe Snow, it was fascinating to learn of his background and get insight into the background and development of the Games. Worth a read!

4.5 - because I simply cannot get past him calling her “Zenny-bug” (a childhood nickname) during sex

I’d like to apologize to myself for reading this

Soooo good

I found myself wonderfully sucked into this book. Narrators who withhold whole truths, characters with a twisting backstory, all the things I love in a good thriller.

absolutely stunning

A very disturbing read but the author set out to put a reader into the disturbed mind of Celeste and that was accomplished. The writing was well done and while you’re never rooting for Celeste and never finding yourself liking her, the book certainly puts you into her mind and brings you along on a crazy, disgusting path from the start.

*insert eye twitch here* I couldn’t really enjoy the story with the writing style. It felt like it jumped around a bit too much and there were too many promising storylines that never really got enough development…

My god I loved this book. It was beautiful and sad and happy and romantic and amazing all at once.

A very cute and fun read. The characters are lovable and the story is fun.

A light and happy read
