You know it's good when I don't even think wrestling is stupid
Also Rhys realizing he has a family that loves him 😭

REALLY loving the "hate you just kidding" banter between them! Tabby is totally falling in love and Rhys is already there just making excuses for T's hesitancy. Very sweet though. And also an introduction for Gwen in the next book is appreciated

Yeah the thing with Dawn was kind of obvious, and I knew something was up with Maggie the whole time I just couldn't tell what. But everyone is so damn unlikeable I just don't care what happens

This is dragging on and on like how is this so boring

Well Rhys took a HARD TURN into being down bad for Tabby I feel like I missed something. But I do like a man who's willing to be a pissed woman's verbal punching bag

Hell yeah a mean female protagonist that's actually mean and rude!! Hell yeah!!! And I like how awkward Rhys is, he knows how to use his size to intimidate but he really feels out of place like all the time lol

Narrator really delivers on "slightly older guy telling you way too many details about how he's always reasonable and right"

I have to confess I just do not like the spice in these books! Why is it all dominance and dirty talk like it doesn't even match the characters!! author showing their own kinks smh

NGL West going "I'm tired of waiting so we're fucking now" while literally grabbing her by the jaw is not as sexy as the author thinks it is. Don't like it at all actually - they could have a sexually charged blow up without the vibes like he's forcing her imo

Who could have guessed the canoe would tip over lmao still, very good convo about fears between them. Testimate to the writing that I could tell what they would say!

I keep forgetting the "dating the internet" is even a thing. it's not mentioned outside of the DMs/comments - I do like the spice in this though

The plot got going fairly quickly but i still feel like nothing is happening oops

I think it's annoying to take a break to set up the next book - Tabby basically steals the plot for a whole chapter. But I still like Skylar bonding with the other women, having some fun at mens expense for once

I like the banter but sometimes it feels like a bit too much, like they never talk to each other like normal people except when Skylar's spilling her guts. But I do like her more now, she's having a breakdown and West is a great guy to help

Well Skylar's first impression sucked, but she's actually growing on me. She really just has no idea what she's doing. I knew I'd love West even in book 1 and yeah. He's silly and caring and a good dad. This will be a good one if it's not dragged out too long

For my own understanding:

Famine needs to control War by starving her (Unclear if emotionally or physically) so sent Falling Devil to feed her to some other big thing. But Control vomited them up to save them but I'm not sure why Famine let her? Maybe because Denji was in there too?

Love it. The falling devil's design, motivation to just feed other devils? Probably sent to get Asa by someone else, and great Denji lines as always

A bit repetitive and not sure what all this is leading up to besides a vague heist of technology? I am gald Edie both out and cussed out Angel though she has bad vibes

Forgot how gory this series can be lol

The world is a little bland, but I still like this overall. I liked Edie's personality a lot, grumpy but I haven't seen much to back it up so far besides bringing Nakano and Duke into the fold. Angel is cool looking but I don't get a feel for her yet

Dilf Uncle Joe backstory let's GOOOOO Also nice to see Aya being so very flustered and Mitsuki just wanting to treat her girl right

I really love this! the use of green is really fun, super funny to see bands like Nirvana and Radiohead be "obscure and weird" - I also really like Mitsuki and her shyness, slowly coming into her own as a "popular" girl gives her more attention. They are both super cute in their crushes

Kind of hard to connect with this one - its all written very well but we do not stay with each character long enough to care and remember

This is just fine? I want to know about Margaret I just don't care about this grand family history. The romance is good but I just don't care for Alice as much as I probably should

Really love this being narrated by the author, you get this anger and passion in every perspective. Also like how it's told in a way where you can't get a grasp on time? Like we don't know when these legends took place and maybe just a rough order, it's pretty cool

Taking a while to finish this - I like the characters but they seem rather passive, I like Taylor more than Mari probably because she gives off Tism vibes

Okay at least Ford is shown to be an asshole for all this shit lmaooo yes boy beg for forgiveness

eeehhh yeah I'm not into the jealous Ford. Cora is basically shoved out of the picture so they can have sex every few chapters and Ford is deliberately interfering with Rosie's past with Stan!! I really don't like when guys turn so possessive in these

ngl don't love how Ford gets insanely jealous every time she stands near another guy. And their sex scenes are overtly dominant which I don't get in his personality otherwise
