what utter trash. like would've been a fun-ish book if written well. but nah. the girl had a ridiculous amount of guys chasing her, and i genuinely couldn't see the charm in her which compelled them.
also all the guys were not one-dimensional, but somehow still boring. and i couldn't root for any of them, or didn't find any of the other suitors believable enough to actually think, “oh, she might end up with him.”
it was also super obvious who the stalker was. so the suspense wasn't there either.
did find reid's monologues at the beginning funny, lol. the whole thing about liking men (??) or their death, was a fun bit. so one star for that.
what a ridiculous book. made me cry so much, which is how i know a book is bloody good. questioned my whole life, because i could relate so much with kennedy. the writing was incredibly convincing, and i was fully immersed.
I LOVED IT. i cried while reading all the flashbacks. one of the sweetest & most heart wrenching love stories i've ever read.
solid book. 10/10 writing style which made me root for the characters. laughed out loud at some of the shenanigans way more than i would've expected. heroine was genuinely my favourite thing about this book. and omg, her mother in law, just a complete badass in the best possible way. docked one star because of how frustrating the other chick was & how ‘noble' & ‘dutiful' the male lead pretended to be.
reread this because i wanted to read the next book in this series & was reminded of how much i didn't like the mmc douchebaggery. i always feel like u're gonna be an ass, at least have other charming qualities that are redeeming. man had NONE. and it didn't help that i was siCK of the fmc's whole bantery bs. like girl, we get it you're supposed to be witty, stop w the cringe remarks every 5 seconds though. idk if it's because the book is old & that's why it feels super dated, or was the cringe too much even back then? the whole creepy ass enforcers lusting after her is perfectly a-okay, but we're supposed to believe our mmc is a possessive guy (even though he shares his mate w his pals). kinky but unrealistic given his personality.
something about the writing style just puts me off so fucking much. it's very middle school, i don't know how else to describe it. constantly sounds quirky & it just comes as trying too hard to be witty, which it really isn't. got annoyed within the first 15 mins of reading it.
a really disappointing end to the series. first book started off so strong, the writing style made me so interested in the witch's life. but i feel like the book didn't do justice to the mc from the first book. like for the past two books & this one, the mc was just this confused “oh what am i to do
