I forgot what even happen in the previous books so I couldn't engage with the storyline. The romance was well written, the characters were very well developed and there were lots of action scenes. I just couldn't enjoy it as much because of how far apart the books are released....more
What a waste of time. I thought the author was with skill but it seems the good books are the outliers. This book was straight up havoc, I hate desperWhat a waste of time. I thought the author was with skill but it seems the good books are the outliers. This book was straight up havoc, I hate desperate and thirsty heroines, always running after and reassuring insecure males. The plot was stagnant, the setting was non-imaginative, the angst basically disappeared halfway through. I decided to quit....more

I am NOT interested or intrigued, it is just too ridiculous for me to comprehend at this point, the book stopped being deliciously ironic as well. I click out!...more

I believe the book suffered from the classic "I am a little twat but since I am a heroine I shit special poop syndrome" or something along those lines. I did not find that flattering, it was fucking annoying to read such a long book with such sensitive themes and ZERO censure or skill with writing. Not to mention the book did not explore any chemistry between 2 MCs....more
Lots of action but not enough action if you know what I mean.. [image]
I enjoy the world-building and plot as always but I wish the relationship aspect Lots of action but not enough action if you know what I mean.. [image]
I enjoy the world-building and plot as always but I wish the relationship aspect was not left so blandly. I understand that the authors would like to portray this unbreakable bond between the MCs but why? Why as a reader am I invested other than the fact that MCs are the established character since last book. OH WELL.....more
This abhorrent piece of shit literature was clearly adored by many but it's themes and plot line just did not appeal to my sensibilities. I will take This abhorrent piece of shit literature was clearly adored by many but it's themes and plot line just did not appeal to my sensibilities. I will take the L on that anytime but I was not able to find any redeeming qualities in the characters, the underlying themes and messages, NOTHING.

As for this book I can not say I enjoyed the setting very much but it's the genre so I suppose it is used as a tactic to set it apart from other books with a similar plot. I enjoyed the chemistry and naturally occurring draw that the main MCs had towards one another. It was an entertaining read with unique MCs as well as secondary characters. I would love to read more books from this author but I can't say I am drawn to the setting to keep reading the series. ...more

From Kate's perspective she will always be a kid in need of protection but in this book you see her true characterization. I enjoyed the development and hopefully in the future we get to continue reading about them. As always to no one's surprise I love the book and the authors. ...more

But the authors have made a complex and riveting plot that is embellished with great amount of characterization. I think the authors have truly done justice for characters outside the culture and especially those of colour. It just increased my respect for the authors, I AM IN LOVEE...

I liked the dogged insistence of Raphael and the characterization of Andrea but I was not fully convinced or immersed in the characters. The plot was half-doable, not bad, not that great. I just felt that the authors have more potential, I was just not a fan of these scraps. The whole suspense thing in their story seems wasted if you can not connect with the characters, nonetheless I promised myself to read every single thing related to the series....more
