A rollercoaster of emotion. i cried 5 times. some of them were happy tears.

i cried 3 times. highly recommend 

every character is the best character. i love them so much

like Ghost Adventures but scarier and i was into it

buddy listen with my sister. we were on the edge of our seat the whole time and that ending was ambiguous AF. we loved it.   

did you know that you could get gender euphoria and affirmation from smut? i didn't, but this book did that

i ugly cried at work. 

book club read. 
guessed the killer at 18% but still had a fun time. 

love some good fat rep <3

Smut was good but the relationship was solely physical. the “love” wasn't believable because there was no emotional connection

“Trans or cis, we are all on gender journeys and all gender journeys are valid.“


This was a fast and fun read while also being extremely informative! I love that they chose to do this in the format of a graphic novel as it made it extremely accessible and and the way the the information is presented makes it easy to digest. This is a great intro to gender and the constructs surrounding it and I love that the sources have all been cited so we can use those recourses to continue researching!

I highly recommend to anyone who is trying to understand their own gender identity, if your trying to understand gender in general, or if you're struggling with the concept of gender. 

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for providing this ARC

I felt every emotion on the spectrum during this read. Every. Single. One.The world-building, the characters, the plot, the way it had me literally screaming at all of the twists. This was magnificent. I am emotionally invested in every single character and I NEED to know what happens next!

This book was such a fun and twisty ride!! I am obsessed with the world and the magic 😍
I wish there was a little more character development for the MMC but overall I loved it

Huge thanks to Kat/Dark Hearts Press for sending me an ARC 🖤

If you're looking for a fast and smutty sapphic read, definitely give this a go! 

As always, Kat killed it with the smut. It was dirty and sexy and a damn good time. 

But for me the romance was lacking. Once we met Lady Venom everything felt very rushed and the tension between the FMCs was almost nonexistent. I wish we had been able to spend a little more time with the characters so that their love could have felt more believable. 

– Ratings:
Smut 🌶️: 4.5/5
Plot 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼: 2.5/5

– My Rating System 
1 ⭐️ - I wish I had DNF'd
2 ⭐️ - meh
3 ⭐️ - It was okay but the vibes were off
4 ⭐️ - I had a really good time
5 ⭐️ - I had an amazing time and I probably cried

Now that i'm getting older, sometimes YA novels don't hit the same but this one hit and it hit HARD. 

ACOS brought a queer normative world, solid mental health rep, a society INSIDE of a moon, and some really cool zodiac based magic. We get to see Casper deconstructing the views he was taught to believe, a freaking adorable romance blooming, and so many twists and turns. I'm excited to read more from Craig in the future!

love the magic system, love the characters, love the plot. 

Absolutely hated the use of the word “shoot” in place of “come”. It made the characters sound like frat bros instead of the professors that they are. 

I am not a thriller/horror person but the was I absolutely devoured this book. Good lord. 
The narrator was fantastic, it had the creepy Appalachian vibes I was hoping for and I loved every minute. 

The way I'm obsessed with this series. I love this wolf shifter and frat bro so much 

I'm not a big mystery reader but I really enjoyed this book. Is was cozy and intriguing at the same time

Was it believable? No
Was it a little all over the place? Sure
Would there be a relationship without the sexual tension? No

But did I have a good time? Absolutely 

The smut was good. It was a little predictable but it was fun.

Cute and fun 

If you want a good contemporary romance 
, this is the one. It's fun, it's flirty, it's got character growth, and a sprinkling of spice.

Fun read. The plot was good, the romance was a little fast but it was good. The writing style wasn't my favorite and I struggled through a bit of it but I liked it enough to not DNF. 

I did not enjoy the un-ironic use of the word “rod” in a sexual way. 

You know those books you want to love but you just don't? Well that was this book for me.  I love the idea but the execution didn't do it for me. It was okay but I don't care enough about the characters or the world to continue the series 
What I did like:

• the overall plot. It's interesting and I loved when we learned new things to further the plot
• The political aspect. This was honestly my favorite part of the book. 

• the characters were very flat. 
• The main character grew up in a world recovering from a war, raised by her grandfather who was a lead guy in winning the war, and went to school all her life to basically train to be in their military but still had no impulse control, no critical thinking skills, and could not get past her own anger to even cooperate with her friends? 
• There was minimal character development. In almost 500 pages the MC still had the same mindset she began with. 
• The world building was clunky and info dropped. It seemed like every bit a world building was over explained and dragged out. Anytime something new was introduced we either had long winded explanations of it or an inner monologue from the MC that was just as long winded and often switched tracks into something completely different halfway through. 

Very cute read. Loved seeing the generational gender roles challenged and the supportive friendship
