About the author
Alexia X.
20 books39 followersAlexia is a self-confessed hermit whose undying love for books leads her to naively abandon the generous warnings of failure from numerous individuals and dive into the publishing world to claim a spot as an author.
In the romance realm, she thinks anything goes as long as there’s love involved—be it contemporary, historical, fantasy, paranormal, yaoi/mm or a combination of any of these. In the young adult territory, she leans more toward fantasy, science-fiction, dystopia, mystery, and of course, romance.
Alexia lives in the historic, student-infested Dunedin, Aotearoa (land of the long white cloud), aka New Zealand. It’s a lone, isolated, picturesque country with ranges of exquisite mountains and breathtaking rivers, which she considers a perfect setting for her reclusive lifestyle.
Apart from writing and occasionally losing herself in her own dream realm, she loves self-cultivation, is fascinated by Chinese metaphysics, and spends her spare time watching anime and TV dramas and, of course, reading books and manga.

DNF at 51%.
This felt like a particularly long lobotomy. I felt brain cells actively die every other word. But I hit my limit when after Sakura is almost murdered (except the book describes it as ‘bullying’ despite these being adults openly trying to commit murder), she is rescued and taken to her room, where far too much attention is given to the fact that her guys can totally see her boobs, after putting her in a white dress, sans underwear.
Up to that point, the book was just badly written. But this non-consensual sexualizing of a woman who just minutes before was crying her eyes out after she was almost murdered took it a level of tasteless that killed any interest I may have had in finishing this mess.
