Absolutely not.
I'm so mad at that ending, if Steele is actually dead I'm giving the next book 1 star just out of principal. And it's not even cause I'm sad it's just such a stupid ending for this story. The stalker thing was also predictable
This one was okay, it dragged and it's just more of the same. At this point I just want it to end already
3.75 but I can't make myself click that 4th star
I'm so conflicted cause I'm so invested but nothing really happened in this book. Except that last sentence which I did not see coming at all
Archer was giving nothing but every time he did, it made me giggly so I hope he spends the entire next book groveling
As far as I know, everyone is her stalker. Including the friends, the Barkers, the staff, grandma d'ath, idc I don't trust anyone.
I can't even begin to explain how much this surprised me.
I was expecting to give it 3 or 4 stars but it absolutely deserves all the 5
This was heartbreaking...
I felt the pain in every mention of Dom and was shattered after the truth about her father came out.
I spent the last couple of pages sobbing
As much as I love Tobias, I wouldn't know what choice to make between the 3 of them, cause of everything we got from Dom and Sean in the first book. It still hurts a little that they didn't get the ending they wanted from the start.
I absolutely loved Cecilia's badass businesswoman side and I stand behind all her crazy defiant behavior.
What I didn't love:
- The amount of times she had to beg these men to love her was embarrassing.
- I was so utterly confused most of the time about the damn secrets and sometimes I feel like the author doesn't do a good job clarifying wtf is going on cause everyone seemed to know (including Cecilia) except me.
This review is all over the place but so is my heart so it's fitting
Perfect
I didn't think I would like Nesta as much as I do after reading this and I didn't realize I was so emotionally attached to these characters until I finished this book and now I don't know what to do with myself
Okay, so....
Barely 3 stars, almost gave it 2 but I didn't hate it and I want to know what happens so safe to say I was entertained.
I HATE books that have paragraphs and paragraphs of metaphors for literally every single thing and inner thoughts that just drag forever. At some points I forgot what was even happening in the scene cause it was just endless paragraphs of describing feelings or thoughts instead of what was going on.
Tristan barely said 5 full sentences so I don't love his character. I get the dangerous/hurt/moody but please god give us something
I desperately want to see their relationship evolve so I'm going to keep reading the series but this first book was not great
I saw someone in the reviews say that even though the first 20% of this book was hard to get through, you needed to finish it and they were absolutely right.
I didn't think I was going to read the rest of the books at all but I'm definitely invested now.
Poppy and Hawke's interactions were just 10/10
Loved this
You know that feeling you get when you finish something and you're never going to experience it for the first time ever again and it's absolutely devastating. Finishing this feels like a breakup, I really really didn't want this to be over and it's a long ass book
It was absolutely beautiful, from the writing to the plot. You can really feel everything the characters are going through. There's always something happening, you're never bored and it doesn't slow down.
I don't even know how to review this rn, I'm just speechless and sad.
***If anyone wants to know (because I did before picking this up) you don't have to read/watch Harry Potter to understand this book, you can follow just fine.
I really enjoyed this one.
At first I was really weirded out by the whole situation but I think you kind of get used to it throughout the book and I actually like how everything turned out in the end.
2⭐️ unfortunately
I read this so excruciatingly slow, it was almost painful. It didn't really keep my attention and I almost dnfed it about 20 times.
The story had potential but it was underwhelming. I think my main problem with this was the focus completely being on the romance which was also very mediocre. Nothing exciting happened and the whole plot about his trapped wolf was written in the literal last 2 chapters.
3.5⭐️
I had no hopes for this book mostly because the cover is not it for me, I hate it.
But surprisingly it was entertaining as hell and I flew through this. It was zero brain cells necessary in the beginning but the ending got really interesting and I'm immediately starting the next one.
I feel like we had a lot to cover to set the scene for the following books so what little bits of information we got from this one were kind of shallow?
Everyone is a little suspicious right now and I don't trust a single soul in this story, so I need to find out what's going on right now
3.5⭐️
I read this when I was trying to get out of a huge book slump and actually finished it so I'm happy about that.
The banter was 10/10 and that's all for now
Absolutely brilliant.
One of my favorite things to read about is a good revenge moment and this book was an entire story of perfectly executed revenge moments.
The whole thing was just genius. The writing, plot, characters, pace, everything was so perfect. I'm pretty confident in saying there is not a single thing I didn't like about this.
Lana Myers is hands down my favorite fmc in any book I've ever read and I doubt anyone will top her. I was applauding anything she did and her kills made me smile every time. She's so incredibly likable, it's insane.
To me personally, the romance was a small part of the thrill compared to everything else that was going on. I loved Logan though, he was a sweetheart.
Every other character got the exact amount of spotlight needed for the story.
S.T Abby did not fail a single time writing this.
10/10 Love this book.
This book is the literal embodiment of “if I could ever experience anything for the first time again, this would be it” and I am so jealous of anyone who gets that now.
For everyone that thinks this book is to long, trust me, power through it. I feel like all the information was necessary and it all ties PERFECTLY towards the end and it's absolutely worth it.
I don't think I've ever sobbed so much in my life. It was an absolute ride. Easily one of my favorite books ever, I can't recommend this enough
3.75 ⭐️ just cause the last one was better
I was going to rate it lower but those last 50 pages were intense
As always, this series is so fun to read, the winston bathroom scene got me good.
I also cried a little
I love a good satisfying ending and Elle Kennedy can do that perfectly
Surprisingly I really liked this one.
I wasn't expecting that last twist at all
I want to judge her so much for letting them gaslight the shit out of her but I know that I'd definitely do the same, if not worse.
I love the fact that I'm just as confused as she is and we can share that frustration.
Excited to see where this story is gonna go
I've been dying to rant about this
The characters are annoying, the story is boring, the ending was just like the rest
First of all, I don't mind miscommunication for like 10 pages but 96% of the book??? No.
Christian is the fucking worst, if we didn't get his POV, I might've liked him better but unfortunately I had to read his thoughts too. A total of zero redeeming qualities.
Gianna...I have never ever seen such a spineless, dick-crazed character. She had doubts and questions from the very beginning but it's okay cause as soon as he “suggested” sex there was only air inside that head.
What was the plot? I couldn't tell you.
The title drop? Made me want to never read a book again.
I hated it.
The reactions this series gets out of me is embarrassing. That ending almost gave me a fucking heart attack
I have said this and I will stand by it forever, the amount of information and story you get in the beginning of these books is 1000% worth it in the end.
I did have a hard time starting but I'm just gonna pretend like I've been hooked since the beginning cause I physically cannot give this book any less than 5 sparkly stars
I read this so fast and it was fun.
These two are so incredibly messy and toxic. It fed a dark, twisted part of my reading soul that needs attention every now and then.
I think the amount of groveling balanced out his crimes and unfortunately I would've caved as well.
Cons:
- I wanted to pull out my eyeballs every time I had to read the “word” HotHoles
- His relationship with Dean was sketchy and complicated and I don't understand their dynamic
- The highschool royalty cliché lines that shriveled my will to live
It's a book I know I should've hated but didn't and I've made my peace with it
Kind of has a mildly interesting twist but it's not worth the 200 pages of nothing that I had to read first
Absolutely not.
So extremely dramatic and predictable, it actually annoyed me (At least I felt something)
