I'm going to ignore everything wrong with this book and say that I did like it.
It wasn't perfect but I was sooooo entertained

I feel like the whole story tied together really well at the end and the creepy vibes?? Loved it

There were times where I wanted to crawl out of my skin from embarrassment but the plot was original.
I was way more interested in finding out the lighthouse story and how she was going to figure out her life than whatever the hell she had going on with Enzo, which is a first cause I'm mostly in it for the romance 99% of the time.

4.75

Honestly I was so ready for the ending to be completely different. I didn't really know what I was expecting but I had A LOT of theories.

It's very entertaining and I was really creeped out in several occasions. Even if I wished the ending would've been different, I still had a really good time reading.

PS I do not see this as a romance at all, its way more about the mystery and kind of “solving” the whole situation

So this was my first poly romance and the first book I read in this series cause a lot of people said it was the best one. I feel robbed of a good first experience.

It just felt like the dynamic was written by someone who doesn't understand it and I hated that. Their relationship felt off and the conflict felt like it was dragged in such a bizarre way. The bisexuality representation was also one of the bigger issues.

It got extremely repetitive to a point that I had to start skipping pages and I absolutely hate doing that

This book frustrated me more than any book should frustrate anyone ever.

The world building and magic system were just a copy of that book we all know and love and the plot was so painfully predictable.They basically did nothing in the woods for about 300 pages, it was so so slow.

But the thing that frustrated me the most was that sorry excuse for a mmc. There was no way in hell anyone could think anything that man did was romantic. He manipulated her at every single turn, objectified her CONSTANTLY, and every time he opened his mouth, the most outrageous things were said.
There's this one time that she's crying about missing her family and the ONLY single thing he says to her is “I'm your family now”. Excuse me?????
And let's not even talk about “Little One”. Fucking ew Caelum.

Estrella's favorite pastime is having the personality of a twig and being a doormat to Caelum. She also loves defending him and ignoring every rational thought she could possibly come up with.

Also the jealousy between these two??? I love possessive but this book took it to a whole new level of criminal.
This relationship was beyond toxic with absolutely no chemistry.

Honestly I could go on for hours but this just about sums up my reading experience.

It's really dark and triggering but the part that still bothered me the most was Zade and Addie's relationship. I feel like the author tried to redeem him a little after all the hypocrisy of the first book but in the end it was still really unhinged. All the spicy scenes between them kept getting more and more disturbing and it just was not for me at all. The sweet words he said didn't erase or excuse his actions most of the time (for me personally) and I'm SO upset that I didn't get to like him more in this book. I feel like I could justify Rio's behavior more than I could justify Zade's and that's saying A LOT. I would've DNFed the book the minute Zade killed him. It also did not need to go on for so long and I didn't get a sense of revenge enough for Claire's death.

this is my delulu dream life

great spice, great characters, very adorable story overall and so easy to read

The first half was very mid and then the plot twist happened and it was like holy shit wtf and then it was back to mid

Chase can respectfully die in a ditch and Noah can't catch a single break, that poor guy

I'm an absolute mess...
Going to give myself a few healing days before I can talk about this

I really wanted to love it more but this book was okay. Maybe I went in with too many expectations, I wanna say it didn't live up to the hype. I feel like the last couple of pages really made me invested in reading the second one just to see how the story ends but i'm not too excited.
I also just couldn't get behind some of the stuff Zade does. Everyone was so obsessed with him on social media and when i read the story i was soooo disappointed. Besides being a huge ass hypocrite, he was also just a mediocre MMC. Nothing special, nothing great and a whole lot of red flags I couldn't bring myself to ignore.

I'm gonna have to rant


You and your friends want to make it your life's mission to destroy me, burn my house down, kidnap my mother, and try to assault me every chance you get?? That's fine you don't even have to apologize and I love you☺️
Rika is the worst.

HOW is Damon everyone's favorite????? Is everyone okay??

First of all, why did we need 60% of build up for that reveal? Instead of using some of that to actually make Michael sweat a bit to get her back?? Insane

Kai saves this for me a little, he's precious and also steam room...

The last 30% were so chaotic but it was entertaining and that's the only reason this doesn't get 1 sad star

This book was EXACTLY what it needed to be and I have lots of thoughts

Did it feel like I was reading diary entries of a very angry teenager? yes absolutely
but I didn't hate it??? The writing isn't good but the story makes up for it in my opinion

I will start off by saying that the ungodly amount of times the words fuck/fucking/freaking was used really pissed me off but I kinda stopped noticing it as the story got interesting.

Booktok made it seem like this was a spicy fantasy land book.
First of all this one has none of the peppers and as soon as I read Connecticut I wanted to burn my kindle in a bonfire. I would like it so much more if it was set in an actual made up universe because I absolutely loved the idea of all the diferente Bonds and the whole Gift thing.

North is giving 45yr old lawyer and it's not for me but it might be for you so go for it.
I just KNOW Nox is gonna have the whole redemption situation at some point and win biggest dick contest but for now he's very obnoxious and has a dirty dirty humiliation kink.
Gabe is blonde so he doesn't get an opinion.
Atlas is a baby angel who deserves an award for not being the biggest stupid idiot and actually realizing the truth first.
But Gryphon is my favorite because I will sacrifice my soul for the silent caring type (i.e. azriel culture) any day.

I really enjoyed this. It was a very easy read and very entertaining so it gets the good rating based solely on the fact that it was just what I wanted to read, when I needed to read it

2.5

1000/1000

Absolutely love the shit out of this book. So many things happened and it was amazing

The hatred I felt for Midas was enormous and honestly that bitch Mist can respectfully burn in hell, I would've been done with her attitude waayyyy before everything happened.
The only minor change I would make is letting Midas suffer a more painful and slow death for all he put her through. I really wanted to see his downfall like Malina's, I wanted to see him lose everything and really feel his life being shredded to pieces and then he could die.

I want the Wrath to be my family and Slade is obviously now one of my favorite MMCs. Who would've thought he had that much to say when they got down to business like where did that come from sir. I have the biggest soft spot for funny characters so Judd was one of my favorites too. My heart absolutely broke when she found Digby and I hope he is a bigger part of the next book cause I really want to see their relationship evolve and I want him to have a bond with the Wrath too

The books in the series just got better and it might be one of my favorites now. I feel like it got a lot of reactions from me and there were a lot of unexpected twists which is always fun

Always a good time with Queens and Monsters

Sloane was such a fun character to read, I'm obsessed with her rambling and her personality.
Declan was just

3.75⭐️ is my go to rating when I can't give a book the whole 4 stars for some reason so that's what this book is getting

The eerie creepy vibes were right up my alley. Obviously the spice was really good cause it's Harley Laroux but the plot was also great. I wish there were more witchy scenes but I'm guessing it's coming in another book

I can't put my finger on exactly why I can't rate this higher, I just know that I had a great time reading but something was missing

Way better than the first is all I have to say

what the fuck just happened


I'm so beyond confused (in the best way) at that twist at the end. I absolutely called the one about Auren but Rip?????? It's like my brain isn't processing or connecting the dots.

This one was sooo good and I can't wait to read the third book. I kind of get the slower pace of the first one cause I feel like we needed all the information that it gave just so this one would be that much more interesting. Still very in love with the whole world this was set in and all the elements are 10/10

I have lots of thoughts
It was a 3.5⭐️ kind of story so overall not bad
‼️Very mild spoilers ahead

At first I was really confused about the direction this book was taking. It was kind of slow and I didn't really know what was going on buuuutttt I did love the world this was set in. It's very interesting and different

I was told this was going to be a romance so I searched for main love interest energy in literally all the male characters that were even slightly elaborated but i'm pretty sure I know who it is now.

Midas is the biggest bitch ever and I have no desire to get to know him better. Sail has my heart and had literally the most enjoyable dialogues in this book until he didn't. And then there's Fane which I won't even elaborate on his miserable existence. Rip is giving redeemable book boyfriend vibes and that's what i'm going to hold on to cause I do want to read the second book.

4.5⭐️
Loved it all the way through. The spice, the plot, the characters, all of it amazing.

Idk if i'll ever have the right words to describe the feeling of finishing this series. Flock was the beginning of an adventure, Exodus was the most painful thing to read and The Finish Line was the closure I needed to try to move on from these books.
Shoking how emotional this made me feel.

10/10 Now one of my favorites

3.5⭐️

Apart from the cringiest dialogues ever, this book is not so bad. It's an entertaining read and I liked all the plot twists so overall a good experience. I had to force myself to keep reading once or twice but maybe that was my own mood and not the actual book

4.5 stars and lots of tears

This book made me feel lots of things but some parts just ripped my heart out of my chest and ran over it 3 million times.
I can't even talk about the absolute pain that is those last chapters + epilogue.

The character development was amazing, the writing was really good and the plot was great too

definitely in my dramione fic era and I couldn't be more excited
