That's it, I'm done with "bully romance". This book was very well-written and I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend to those who enjoy this genre. I, however, just don't. I was moved to tears (like a lot of tears) for the first 50% of the book while everyone in the heroine's life treated her like utter shit, most of all her love interests. Now, I read this because reviews said the bullying was mild. Granted, there wasn't much physical bullying or humiliating done (wow, what a low bar to set That's it, I'm done with "bully romance". This book was very well-written and I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend to those who enjoy this genre. I, however, just don't. I was moved to tears (like a lot of tears) for the first 50% of the book while everyone in the heroine's life treated her like utter shit, most of all her love interests. Now, I read this because reviews said the bullying was mild. Granted, there wasn't much physical bullying or humiliating done (wow, what a low bar to set...), but plenty of emotional bullying, which can often be worse. I don't mind an enemies-to-lovers romance, but the main issue I have is if the amount of justice/groveling/regret is equal to or greater than the damage that was inflicted. I also need to know that the guys are actually good guys with some sort of short-sighted view of the heroine or misunderstanding. Once this is revealed or resolved, I need a dramatic reaction. In this book, there wasn't one. I mean one of the guys apologized, but that's it. They just started loving her. I have no respect for the "heroes" (note the sarcasm) if they don't feel awful for treating the woman they supposedly love like dirt for the first months they know her. And they were cruel. They didn't even treat her like a person. I'm sorry, but that deserves some major groveling and there was ZERO. Of note, two related scenes I can't get outta my head are (view spoiler) This is just not my genre. I don't mind, even like, when a couple has to overcome animosity, even hatred, of each other. But, I will never understand books that have a chick lusting after a guy the same moment he is calling her dirty trash and laughing at her for lusting after him. Supernatural "pull" be damned. And just when Dev got on Betty and seemed like she would say fuck you to anyone giving her shit, (I got so excited, thinking FINALLY) she immediately caved to a sexual encounter, not even a page later. Ugh, I hate heroines that are pussy-whipped by their own pussies.

Ok, rant over.

Great book. Not the worse I've read of this genre, but could have been so much better and easier to swallow with not that much added. ...more

Freaking Phenomenal

Void was Fantastic! Best thing I have read all year! The characters were Amazing, the plot was unique, and my mind is blown! Void is a stand-alone paranormal, bully, Reverse Harem and it’s to die for! I loved this supernatural world and just can’t stop my mind from thinking about it! There is no better character than Devi, she was Everything! This book is much more than I ever anticipated and it will give the biggest book hangover I’ve had in a while! I’m hoping this amazing ...more
