Look, I am not gonna hold back here. I mainly decided to read this series bc the author keeps popping up on my FYP and i thought i should give it a shot. Now, let me be abundantly clear. I have no idea what the actual plot of this series is. I originally gave it 3 stars, but going back, I am demoting it to two. If you are the author and are reading this, I am sorry. You seem lovely, however, I had some major issues with your novel.
FIRST, WHATS WITH THE CHEATING. EW!!!!!!!!! As I was explaining to one of my friends yesterday while I was reading this, I absolutely despise cheating in general. I think it is gross. You either commit or you break up. Charlie went from being completely in love with Silas and Gray to having Kato and Emily finger fucking her in like five minutes flat. I get the whole point is that she is young and inexperienced, however, SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING. AND THEN POUTED AND ACTED LIKE THEY ARE BEING SILLY!!!! WHEN SHE TOLD SILAS THAT HE IS GOING TO FORGIVE HER, I WANTED TO PUNCH A WALL FRAT BOY STYLE. He does not have to forgive you. I wouldnt!!!!!!!!!!
SECOND, SHE IS FUCKING PREGNANT???????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? BE. SO. FUCKING. FOR. REAL. YOU CANT HAVE HER CHEAT AND BE PREGNANT. WHAT REALLY BOTHERS ME ABOUT IT THOUGH IS THAT EVERYONE AROUND HER KNOWS THAT SHE IS PREGGO EXECPT HER!!!!!!! Like slap my ass and call me Rhysand with they way those three demons are behaving! Jesus christ!!!! WE DONT KEEP SECRETS ABOUT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH!!!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL THIS WOMAN SHE IS WITH CHILD!!!!
Third, and finally, I despise the way that they infantilize her. She has every right to be upset with them, especially when they are responsible for like multiple species going extinct because Gray wanted to what??? prove a point??? make his dad suffer?? But they act like she is unreasonable when she calls them out on their absolute bullshit!!! you have 3 "males" all over a century old with little to no emotional intelligence, and one 25 year old who is emotionally stunted because she was kept under the floorboards her whole life (literally). I cant possibly see why this isnt working(heavy on the sarcasm there).
In total, would I recommend this? sure if you are fine with the any of the things i mentioned above. However, I will say read at your own caution. There is only so much Handmaid's Tale meets Monster smut that a girl can read before she LOOSES HER DAMN MIND!
