gladiator meets the vampire diaries in a 80% plot driven and 20% romance, among other things, book!! what a ride let me tell you. ...more

“love isn’t as pretty or pure as people like to think. there’s a darkness in it sometimes. kaine and i go hand in hand. i made him who he is. I knew what that array meant when I saved him. If he’s a monster, then I’m his creator.” the gun to my temple…
i haven’t been this emotionally devastated and crazed since i came across that one quote from wuthering heights.
having read manacled before, reading this felt like seeing an ex i can’t lie. it’s faster paced (thank goodness.) it’s only predictable simply because i read manacled before but it stands on its own, i believe….kinda..i digress.
ho what do you know about love? if you don’t know about my soldiers, helena and kaine?! nothing has felt more devastating than reading them fighting for their happy ending. the trials and tribulations that war puts them through; how it changes them, it is all enclosed in these two characters. the book was so good, i personally need to go to the authors house and slap them.
For me it was “unlike most of Bennet’s subjects, Ferron’s participation was voluntary” ...more
this is one of those plots that’s great in hindsight but not on paper. like i wanna see this as a movie, limited series, but reading it felt like a drthis is one of those plots that’s great in hindsight but not on paper. like i wanna see this as a movie, limited series, but reading it felt like a drag. which is why i switched to the audiobook half way through. it made it 10X better i can’t lie.
love emily henry but this felt like all the right ingredients but the wrong execution. the romance was cute for the most part but not that believable. the “story” was ehh?? every time we would jump back into the past of Margret’s story it was a snooze fest until the last few chapters when things started adding up.
i will say the mystery aspect of this was my favorite, surprisingly. jaw dropped may i add. i just wanted to see how it all came together in the end, and i enjoyed the turn of events. but as a romance girly, the romance was a sub sub plot. i would like a little more push and pull with these characters. it seems like they got together on a whim. and i’m here thinking “yall barely know each other” but whatever
the ending felt rushed. i think i needed 1 chapter of just them. would i recommend? maybe but it’s nothing to write home about ...more
this book was so fire. every line was poetic. the story san romance stands on its own. it was deep, romantic, fuso incredibly hauntingly beautiful ✨✨✨
this book was so fire. every line was poetic. the story san romance stands on its own. it was deep, romantic, funny, and clever. rachel gillig has yet to fail me.
no way a fucking gargoyle has me laughing like that. how to i explain to someone who catches me laughing at a book that im laughing because this mythical creature is clocking everyone’s shit left and right. he would say the funniest things one minute and the most deep thought-provoking things the next. Love that shit ...more
