Tangling With Trolls

Dnf @ 45%/ 11 chapters

Really kinda hate Ohken and how everyone assumes the witches raised human will just know stuff. And then how shit isn't actually explained. She's all “when is my [magic] lesson?” He says she's already learning she just doesn't know how. lol NO no she's not. Y'all have been on dates and talked, but nothing about magic. Actually explain something for once.
She keeps telling him she hates surprises and he keeps trying to make things a surprise or not explaining fully and it's pissing me off.

Then the troll whip subplot like literally... I knew it was gonna piss me off but him saying he thought people would have told her by now?? My dude! You still had her drink your cum the first time knowing she wouldn't have known. “Troll cum has healing properties” blah blah blah “I guess this isn't normal with humans?” No and he would effing know that because with all these excuses he hasn't said OTHER monster cum has special properties making ingesting cum of others a normal thing— just trolls. Humans don't know trolls exist so wtf would drinking troll cum be normal for them?

And she needs time to process obviously and he's like yeah totally let me make you orgasm. Use me. Then after is like do you need MORE time to process? Asshole, she hasn't processed at all. Stop trying to make her orgasm enough times that she forgives you.

So yeah, fuck Ohken.

This is the second book in the Haven Ever After series by Hazel Mack. I had a great time reading the first book and I was really looking forward to reading this one. I did like this one but I also had some issues with it that did affect my rating for it overall. I loved the plus size representation and I how Wren loves her body but not only that everyone else does as well especially Ohken. The romance between these 2 was amazing. Their chemistry was on point and I loved how they communicated with each other from the start. If they had any issues they talked through them. Here's where my issues come in. First off there were a lot of inconsistencies throughout the whole book. The main one being how Ohken is constantly telling us that Trolls take things slow in relationships. They like to tease and boy does he have teasing down. They don't move slow though. I guess to them everything is on the table except actually having sex but to me that's not taking it slow. All of it counts. There were other times where the author would have put something in and then just a little while later say something completely different so it was contradicting itself. All of these things just really stood out and made the experience of this one not as great as the first one. All of that being said I am still really looking forward to reading the next book coming out this month. 

Buddy read with Destiny and Malli
