justice for annika because too many characters treated her so badly and she so deserved better. and she especially deserved better than creighton.
butjustice for annika because too many characters treated her so badly and she so deserved better. and she especially deserved better than creighton.
but seriously WHY did so many characters piss me off an unreasonable amount?? I felt like I was getting angry more than enjoying this book... but at least annika was the ray of light she always is and I love her so much and other than her taste in men, she is such a queen and I'm gonna be so honest but that was so cool of her when she took *that* shot because um??? seriously goes to show how much she loves her family and just crazy respect for her, I mean it's so relatable and fair of her??? genuinely crazy how ppl blamed her for what she did like what??? I mean I too would always pick my family whom has always loved and been there for me? (view spoiler)[so like when elsa and aiden were telling creighton that if annika doesnt choose him over her family then she doesnt deserve him??? what???? i swear those two also pissed me off an unreasonable amount. much as i hate adrian (im forever petty) when he aimed that gun at aiden's head... well cant say i wouldve cared if he'd actually shot him LOL (hide spoiler)] anyways love annika and really think she deserved better. hated how so many treated her in this book.
creighton was honestly boring? and the second half just made me flat out hate him. not only were one of his favourite pastimes just like another certain bastard I hate (*cough* adrian), but really there wasnt much to him??? yeah there were some sweet gestures he made but eh none of them really got to me. although that confession was pretty damn good, but not enough for me to ever like him. i dont even know who i hate more between adrian and him. (view spoiler)[and can i just say it was so selfish of him to make annika choose btwn him and jeremy??? i did NOT feel bad at all when annika shot him like what did you expect you jerk. i honestly supported adrian when he was holding a gun to creighton's head because bro seriously deserved it after kidnapping her to an island and expecting to keep her there forever??? i cant imagine the fear her family was in. (hide spoiler)]
and I have to say I'm actually disappointed in the girls' friendship?? some of the things that happened had me annoyed and idk I'm just sad/annoyed to see that considering how much i loved it in book 1. ava pissed me off no amount. cecily didnt really do anything other than helping creighton with doing *that* but to be fair it was indirectly and creighton lied to her with his true intentions so im not going to treat her harshly for that. remi was literally the only reasonable person in the second half??? (view spoiler)[i just cant believe the girls did not talk to annika at all after what happened like ??? i get feeling betrayed by annika for shooting creighton but like?? for that long especially knowing the situation?? i wouldve shot creighton myself if i thought he was about to kill my brother?? (hide spoiler)] if there WAS a relationship I loved, definitely had to be between jeremy and annika!! best sibling duo fr like yeah jeremy is overprotective but the way he saw how happy creighton made annika and was willing to give him a chance??? he's always worried for her and wants her to be happy + that fire scene?? and *that* scene?? oh theres no doubt that these two love each other so much and I adore the wholesomeness.
and then another great duo which I didnt expect to love so much but eli and creighton!!! eli is so sweet to creighton I love their relationship so much, there were so many adorable moments that had me laughing and just the care they hold for each other!!! my heart.
anyways I'm ready for jeremy and cecily's story!! plz dont fail me I want a 5 star so bad....more
damn that ending was INTENSE, my heart was beating so fast and i finally got some answers... but at what cost⁉️ AND NOW I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS I NEED Adamn that ending was INTENSE, my heart was beating so fast and i finally got some answers... but at what cost⁉️ AND NOW I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS I NEED ANSWERS TO SO STARTING BOOK 3 RIGHT AWAY
I will say though adrian is currently an absolute abusive trash and I despise him so much genuinely the only good moments he has are with jeremy otherwise he has zero redeeming qualities and unless he gets character development next book, my opinion will not be changing. which btw he kept saying "oh how do I get lia to not want to run away" blah blah and it's so funny because if he stopped being a overly controlling possessive freak that would literally solve all their problems like it's not rocket science?...more

there's no going back from this book. the way it was going well in the beginning and afterwards hit a point where it got worse and worse every chapterthere's no going back from this book. the way it was going well in the beginning and afterwards hit a point where it got worse and worse every chapter... I am forever traumatized <3
I fully believe lilia and devryck each needs to go to therapy. a part of me died (and not in a good way) reading about these two and i will never be the same (as in i need to bleach my eyes because what did i just read). whoever compared these two to bluelance had a gun to their head
and from that epilogue now theres a possibility of the next book being a relationship btwn a 16 and 30 year old?? KILL ME...more
ah yes a classic unexpected (except really it was totally obvious) betrayal as a cliffhanger! It was way too dramatic but also that might just be becaah yes a classic unexpected (except really it was totally obvious) betrayal as a cliffhanger! It was way too dramatic but also that might just be because I didn't enjoy reading this book anyways... actually cringed during SO many moments it was painful
Scarlett has to be the absolute WORST MC I've ever read about... she genuinely was just so frustrating and annoying, literally the common sense was just gone!! Some things I could understand but 99% of the time she was being unreasonable for no reason it was so stupid. I don't understand why literally every guy falls at her feet too for no reason it's so???
also the amount of similarities to TOG is actually funny like I actually didnt even read any reviews before this but when I noticed the uncanny amt of similarities I saw that I wasnt the only one who thought that LOL. Nothing wrong with the similarities ig but its pretty hilarious (and obvious TOG does it way better)
oh and did I mention how many times this book made me cringe? Haha yeah... Honestly the only thing that would make me continue the rest of the series is for the sake of side characters aka cassius because this guy is the absolute sweetest and supportive best friend scarlett does NOT deserve him. Otherwise I truly cant deal with another book of scarlett making me lose brain cells!...more

I guess my streak of 4/5 stars had to end eventually. But wow, why did 338 pages feel like 1000 pages??? [image]
I don't know. It might just be me but the whole time I was reading this, I felt absolutely nothing. I was honestly bored out of mind and considered marking this as 'DNF' many times, but I thought "Oh, maybe it'll get better....?"
Spoiler . . . It didn't [image]
Also, one thing to know about me is that very rarely do I give out a rating below 3 stars. It makes me feel like a cruel monster human being who's being very harsh, but I just really couldn't love this as I thought I would....more
NO BUT ACTUALLY WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED??? I literally lovedSerpent & Dove and was one of the very few who also loved*cries in disappointment* [image]
NO BUT ACTUALLY WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED??? I literally lovedSerpent & Dove and was one of the very few who also lovedBloody & Honey but this??? This was complete trash. *gets War Storm flashbacks*
I cannot believe Gods & Monsters is actually part of the same series like wow easily my worst book of 2021. I want to completey erase all of what happened from my mind- oh wait, nothing happened. Just my brain cells dying as I pushed myself through this monstrosity.
This honestly is so heartbreaking because this trilogy literally had the potential to be one of my all time favourite series but well... not anymore...more

I was so3.5 stars I decided to give another book of Kiersten White's a chance, but again, it was pretty boring. The beginning of this book was SO SLOW. I was so tempted to quit reading, but I thought, "maybe it'll get better....." I did get better kind of. I don't know, there was just something missing from Slayer. It's probably just me though. I'll still read the next book to see if it improves. After all, you what they say, "Don't judge a series based on the first book"....more
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review I must say, this was kind of boring. Many times I was tempted to DNF The Pairings I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review I must say, this was kind of boring. Many times I was tempted to DNF The Pairings but I forced my way through this book. [image] It's not that this book was horrible. I mean maybe some of you might love this series. It's just that to me, I felt like there were so many cliche scenes that made me cringe. Lora Flannigan is a girl who's applying for something called the Pairing, where of course people are paired together. She's paired with a boy, Jared, who also happens to have a twin brother and can you guess what happens? Yep. Of course she falls in love with the twin brother, Syeth. Typical. Oh! And of course, what's better is that Syeth happens to be the dark and brooding type compared to his brother Jared, who's all cheerful. There were some cool scenes in this book like when she jumped off the building...more
