Oh fucking wow
Genuinely is my favourite SERIES favourite AUTHOR and this might be my favourite couple by far, I understand the hype.

I struggled a bit at the beginning because I wasn't reading as much as usual, so it took me a while to finish. BUT JESUS CHRIst
This book is gorgeous. The action and romance is exquisite as fuck. And Rhys and Feyre's dynamic has me in tears they make me so happy.

FUCKING HELL

I didn't expect to love these two the amount that I did. But, from the BEGINNING I knew this book was going to be amazing. The entirety of this book was just fucking amazing. I have no words that make sense to describe how much I LOVED this book. Holy shit...
I will say, that Luke melted my heart even more in this one, that kid is a blessing to earth.

I have so many yet no words all at the same time holy fuck

The LONGING the TENSION and the fucking moment when they finally KISS REALISING THEY BOTH FEEL THE SAME

I relate to Charlie way too much. These two always bring so much joy to me straight from the page.

3.5 ⭐
Aaron can eat a fucking brick covered in tar and choke on it.

Read this as a kid loved revisiting it

perhaps like 3.75 if i wanna get specific with this

OKAY so Brady's tasks are fucking WILD especially Declan's (I think it's Declan's right, I forgot) but I love that rowan's is bringing back his creativity after it was demolished by his father (asshole).
But Rowan was, as a character, pretty mediocre in my mind but the shit he did and how thoughtful he was kinda UHHH yeah made me actually enjoy his character way more than I feel like I should've. But like king, I don't care if ur rich asf but like u should SURELY not be acting like ur living on another planet compared to the average person. SURELY RIGHT??? or do I have way too high of hope for rich people. anyway

ZAHRA ZAHRA ZAHRA oh my god
you fucking angel of a being I legit could kiss you MYSELF
shes gotta be the most sunshine-y fmc that I have ever witnessed and I am unironically here for it. ALSO her story made me feel like I was reading about myself for like a weird second. Her as a whole I feel like makes me wanna scream into a valley on how cute she is. I get how Rowan could fall for her bc lowkey I might've aswell bc holy shit. We love a hard working, knows her worth and a loving ass gurl bro. Slay.

Not gonna lie the book dragged a bit during some parts, the angsty part when they were not doing the happy happy nice relationship parts made me kind of bored. This could've just been that I was eating their interactions the fuck up, but who knows. This all makes me think that the book could've had parts cut out, making it shorter because it felt like some parts were random and unneeded but I still enjoyed them despite that.

I do NOT care for the Disney adult fantasy stuff within this book. But that might be just me seeing as I've never even BEEN to Disney World. My opinion could change after going for the first time so we will have to wait and see on that part.

Other than that, it was pretty cute (I say that when the smut was fire asf), enjoyable romance and, as I predicted, was a bit better than the other Lauren Asher book that I read last year (Throttled). So, I am definitely going to be attempting her other books hehe.

I want ruthless vows NOWWW!!!!

GOD...
This book, wow. I know people said it was good but this has got to be one of my favourite fantasy reads so far.

This was unlike anything I've ever seen, I might've not seen enough if that's not the case. It got me hooked INSTANTLY. Roman and Iris' relationship honestly, reminded me of a tamer, less DIE DIE DIE YOU SHOULD DIE, version of how me and my partner are. Their squabbling was so fun to read, alongside the letters . AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE WEDDING AND HOW I ALMOST CRIED. (I'm medicated this is a big deal) And the ending just ripped my heart out and ate it, leaving me wanting more so BADLY.

Forest... what the hell, dude... That's wild.

I have such a 50/50, love hate relationship with character driven books

Had me on edge constantly, waiting for the ball to drop. And when it did; wow, just wow.

IN HALEY PHAM WE TRUST
Every book, I'm pretty sure I've read that I picked up bc of her I've LOVED

This is no way an exception
The twists, the style, the characters, I loved everything about this

absolutely loved this, the plot, the couple
all the characters are all amazingly well created - feels like i know them all, its weird
and holy shit, STEMinist books might be some of my favourite creations on this planet

3.7⭐️

3.75 ⭐️

This was unlike anything I've ever read, 100%, in the best way possible.
Always enjoyed witched related media since I was a kid and this just fulfilled that for me in adulthood. Never in my life did I think I needed to read about prince's of hell but I'm so glad I did.

Huge fuckin thank you to my friend for recommending this series to me, already got the other two books out from the library

All have to say is

Wow

Okay I didn't have high expectations for this book until my friend told me to read it and I finally decided to find out what it was about. In the beginning, ngl, still didn't have high hopes but, holy shit how this blew me away.

THE PLOT TWIST, THE CHARACTERS, THE DETAIL IN THE PUZZLES BRO HOLY
This blew my expectations out of the park, into the road, down the street, on the next flight to Paris to get a massage for free.
I can tell the puzzles were a pain in the ass to write but probably fun to come up with. And I legit feel so much for all of these characters despite only having read the first book.
Miss girl, miss Jennifer Lynn Barnes... WHAT DID U PUT IN THIS BOOK AND WHERE CAN I GET SOME (dw I will read the sequel at some point...)

Was hooked instantly, ended up being beautiful.

I DNF'd this book 48% after MONTHS of this cresting the biggest reading slump of my life. I have finally decided to put it to rest. I really enjoyed what I was reading until suddenly I just didn't care anymore which saddens me so much. This was definitely a me problem and not an ACOWAR problem so will still recommend this book either way. Sry queen

Ppl told me this books was bad and it would be like going thru trenches to get to the second book but this was genuinely amazing

Dnf at 38%
I need to stop reading about depression while I'm depressed it's nOT helping

This book made me see myself in a different way completely for the better.

THIS WAS STRANGELY ADORABLE TO READ

I could've gone without reading this tbh

GOD this might be my favourite romance that I've read this year or just in general, even.

The fucking characters are written so fucking well, and the WRITING as a whole I LOVED, I did NOT expect to enjoy a cowboy, bull rider, romance this much. The SMUT as well oh my god, I usually am 50/50 with smut but HOLY SHIT it was good. The little texting sections at the beginning of almost all chapters were such a nice, funny, interesting little touch. And OH MY GOD the ending and epilogue pulled my heartstrings straight out of my body and onto the ground. If I wasn't as medicated as I am right now I would've been SOBBING, I TELL YOU, SOBBING.

Also, as soon as I saw that the next book was about Willa, I had never wanted to pick up the second book in a series so BADLY. I LOVE HER.

I don't remember when I finished this but oh god. I loved the characters and enjoyed watching them spend time together over the years but Jesus christ... I feel like absolutely nothing happened in the story. I get that might be where it was supposed to go with it being a book on the lines of, ig, being about “normal people” meaning they're not insane woosh woosh super cool epic main characters but atleast give us SOMETHING.

I will admit that I spent the entire book just praying they just end the book together and happy, obviously this never happened. This was probably my only drive to finish this book, even then it took me forever because I felt like I was tracking through a foggy, muddy mosh pit in dogs-out sandals to get to find out the meal deal I was trying to get after has been upped from £3 to fucking £4 pound. (That was psychotic btw supermarkets in the UK)

This may have been during a time of me reading what was popular and not what I might enjoy, not knowing my reading “style”. I hope that's what it's called.
So I definitely am NOT the demographic.
ggs literature grads, hope you all enjoy this lovely book <3
