Current audiobook. So far so good, the FMC is badass!!

Current audiobook. People kept telling me this series gets better as it goes on, so I’m giving it another chance! This book is def and improvement from the 1st one, albeit still with a lot of repetitive information and words. The FMC is nicer, though, and MMC as well. Having a good time so far!

Yayy it’s finally here! Just starting this one on audio 💃

Current audiobook! I needed a palate cleanser, and Amanda Richardson is a master of them 🔥

So nice to be back to this world 😍

Eating Domitri’s story up and loving Autumn, the 43yo badass, unhinged, assassin FMC!!

Current audiobook, finally released! Very happy to be diving back into the story, and now with daddy Volkov 🔥🔥

The story has improved, but the characters are still pretty juvenile. Rooting for Emmet and I have a feeling Bram is not what he seems… I’m invested!

It’s a bit silly until now and I’m not fully hooked into the story yet, but I’ll keep at it for a bit longer and see what happens!

The story improved a lot in these last few chapters, and the tension is palpable! I still feel Henry was a bit too naive for a 30y man, gave in too quickly to anything she demanded and his love is insta lust (she really didn’t give him any reason to love her and treats him like shit 99% of the time), but ok! Very cute how he takes care of her & respects her boundaries. Her parents are real MONSTERS! It’s dark…

He helps her the whole night through another of her pain crisis, which btw is kind of taking on most of the book at this point 🙄 She wakes up next to him and he asks: “Is there anything else other than ice that helps?” Her answer is: “I’m not a problem to be solved, Henry.” 🤯 Really?? I’m beginning to hate her. Ugh Sorry, your condition doesn’t give you an excuse to be a brat!

Aren’t they supposed to be enemies and smart? Isn’t Henry this big bad wolf who has been planning his revenge on her family for 10 years? Why is he suddenly doing everything she wants, including taking her to her parents and letting her ditch him without protest in the first 5min, when he knows she just wants to spill all the secrets he stupidly shared with her to them? His naivety makes no sense 😩

Ugh, I hate it when I like the smart and badass FMC and the author starts having them make stupid decisions and be a bitch!! Why?? Harlow was going so well and now I want to strangle her! Henry is softening to her more and more, and she is just 100% heartless and reckless. Please don’t make it be another Rain of Shadows and Endings, I just can’t deal with these types of spoiled & childish FMCs.

Current vacay audiobook. Her obsession with her sister is a bit overboard after what happened, but let’s see what happens now that she’s in the castle… Curious to know more about the princes and which she will end up with!

I’m invested in the story, I like Harlow (she’s 30+ and a poisoner/assassin!!) and her chemistry with Henry, but the writing does over explain things a bit and repeats information the reader already knows over and over… it is annoying! Other than that I’m eating this up and happy to be reading a standalone for a change!

I’m highlighting this book like crazy! Oscar Wilde’s writing is phenomenal, of course 😍

Current e-book, which I picked up because of Booktok 😂 It’s right up my alley though, and I’m already liking the FMC!

Finally started this classic in my beautiful Chiltern edition. I’m already loving the story 🙏

So happy for Thea and Wilder! Love them 🥰

It picks right off where Obsidian ended, but now with the POVs of Daisy’s family as well.
