We've all heard the tales of good and bad, the tales of innocent deceit and her hero, the tales that despite their nature, show us the beauty in contrast.
But it's the tales of pure evil that get swept under the rug. The tales of deception, where cruelty is rewarded. The tales that have you questioning who the real villain of the story is.
There's a simple philosophy to most thing in life; two wrongs 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 make a right.
So what ensues when you put two of the worst kinds of people together?
Loyalties transfer, lines blur, and hatred ignites complete chaos.
She's cunning.
𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴.
She's dangerous.
𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴.
She's evil.

Or so that's what we're told.
The devil is always worse.
But maybe, just maybe, she's the devil in disguise, playing his advocate...

4.75 ★ DRUM SMACK MA ASS!!!! YASSSS NOW THIS IS HOW U DO A DAMN ENEMIES TO LOVERS/ MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE MAFIA
IM ESTATICCCCCCCC— THIS IS CRAWLED OUT OF MY UTURUSSSSSS. i can’t stop rotisserie chicken spinning, my back is arched to HEAVEN and i am non stop wobbling dis jello trunkk. possessed is all i am GRAHHH DIS. IS. MAH. JAMMMMMM 💳💥💳💥
bazookah did it AGAIN, she up and deserved EVERY surface of her puni derrière munched for runaway alone. i been, still am and forever will be on a never-ending quest for books like it. 😩 ma outdid herself again and delivered TWO bangerssss 👏🏾 queen u get meee. holla at me if you need my left titty, a kidney or some sucked toes. i’d army crawl through hot coals to read the snot drops u leave on a napkin
“You’re responsible for the death of my two men.”
“And i’ll kill more if I have to.”
I maintain a large distance to suppress the urge to kill her. “Go ahead, you’ll be doing me a favor in weeding out the weak ones.”
this MIGHT be the only hate/enemies to lovers mafia where i didn’t feel lied to, felt properly FED and foamed at the mouth like a stray dog at a cookout with the enemying/ hating part
i’m so used to y’all frontin’, lyin’ ass weak to no delivery fuck-ass hoez cus it’s always either nonexistent, lame, poorly executed, one-sided from the fmc, too short or wrapped up faster than a dolla store burrito.. ,..🥱 bleh IM TIREDDDDD but this one, about damn time, understood the fucking assignment
here it was well balanced, lasted a solid amount & had intensity that had me asking myself how da hell they even gone end up as lovers and if i ain’t asking myself that THEN ION WANT ITT
"I hate you." He supplies, shoving me back into a nearby wall.
“I hate that i can’t bring myself to kill you.”
“I hate that for some reason, I want you to be my wife." He sounds disgusted with himself, yet still manages to lean in so close his nose nudges mine.
"And most of all," His eyes flicker across my face. My lips, my hair, and finally, my eyes."I fucking hate that I waste my time thinking about you.”
THE DIALOGUE. THE BANTER. THE VERBAL SPARRING. THE CHEMISTY. THE SLOW BURNNNN. THE (SEXUAL) TENSIONNN 🥵. PINING. ANGST. GROVELING. CHARACTERIZATION, DEVELOPMENT, STORY
SUBLIMEEEEEEE sizzled like hot grease poppin’ off a skillet, i was HOOKEDDDD, GLUEDDDD tummy did dancy dances with excitement, kewch beatboxed 🦋 and i wanted to bootylick every interaction, it was EXACTLY what i’ve been craving, a rare delicacy that checked off on my boxes
”Three minutes.” “I only had to fuck you for three minutes with your own knife before you turned into a desperate little mess.” “I think I win.”
adrik kozlov: flash us! WHO SAID THAT?? ME!! 🤸🏿♂️ PULL IT OUTTTTTT GOK GOK GAWK GULP SLURP SLOPPIEST SLOPPY TOPPYYY TAKE. THEM. DRAWS. OWFFF!!!!!!! 🫵🏾 i AGGRESSIVELY barked out ON LOOP
BLYATTTT NO RUSSIAN WILL EVER TOP TO ADRIK MF KOZLOV
SEDATE MEEEE i’m one squealing dying orca moaning, pillow biting, feet kicking MESS over the FINERY that is THIS man 🫦
“You’re standing here because i allow it”
“You’re breathing because i allow it”
”I'd tear you apart." "If not with my hands..." I leave the rest of my sentence up to her imagination as my eyes flicker across hers.
TEAR ME SHRED ME CRUSH ME RUN ME OVERRRRRRRRRR
please spit that vodka coffee on me, let me lick it off, thank you for the honor, beg you to non stop do it again whilst laying open and butt naked on the floor🧎🏽♀️🧎🏽♀️🧎🏽♀️
rich cold intimidating dominating menacing threatening brooding nerd smart nonchalant untouched tortured unhinged morally grey horsecock aurafarming mafia boss. somethings missing and it’s MY CLOTHES! panties was gone never to be seen again AT FIRST SIGHT! 🤸🏿♀️ DUHHH
I watch the tip of the knife as I drag it up her throat and slice the tiniest patch of skin below her chin. "I could torture you until near death,"
"And then stop." "Only to resume once you've built up the strength to live through it once again.”
edge me zaddayyy 😛
how i operate: the more he wants her to drop dead the more i drop to my KNEES, the more he shows no interest the more interested i am in HIM, the more he doesn’t want her the more i want him, the colder he is the hotter i am for him, the more he hates the more I’ll love him,…. so on, and he was a good bunchhh 🍴
my type of romantic is adrik saying that she looks like a dead carcass, locking her up and leaving her in a room with rabid dogs knowing she’s terrified of them to then afterward only tilt her chin up with her valentino pump & cutting the hands off a woman and have her hung by the hair on a lamp as decor because she dared to touch her 🤭
<<< ‘Adrik koslov was physically attracted to me, and by the looks of the disgust on his face he hated it.’ >>>
not only does this man hate her he also does NOT like being touched, he’s a germaphobe or sure acts like one and DENIES any and all attraction to her. even when he does feel something, he’s delulu, balls deep in denial, fighting for his life to pretend that he doesn’t which is tewww goooddddd 🍿 when he finally gives in to her and that temptation, it’s DELISHHHH you can just feel that dam breaking
i even love his OCD, neatfreak tendencies & whatever personal beef he got with even numbers. mf fr counts as one, three, five,.. in his head and ykw? hell yea i like dis autistic man and would i be wrong if i asked him at dinnur is u autistic cus i like DET ❕(no he’s not autistic fr sound reference ) but it makes him SO HIM and funny.
<<< 'The mere thought of all the bacterial gathering atop the surface of it before she popped it back into her mouth had me imagining a world where I pushed her out of the moving vehicle and watched her body flop onto the highway.
Surprise and betrayal would flash in her beady little eyes, before it'd all vanish the moment she was ran over.' >>>
his inner monologue and remarks actually had me holleringgg. i dunno if my cheeks hurt more from cackling or flushing. it had some sass and jokes in him who knewww. ate hard and so much on his jabs HOW is u not obese dawg
his + nico’s pov hands down one of the— if not my favorite male pov’s i’ve ever read. I LIVE and am OBSESSEDDDD with what is bedazzed and sazzed in these men and just, everythinggggg about them. zookah really KNOWS how to write a real sexy masculine BDE swoonworthy MANNNN when it comes to these two. IM SO IN LUVVVV 🪭😮💨
“My wife, my property.” “Don’t touch.”
if ur not like me and well.. normal? u might, probably have a bone to pick with him BUT bare with himmm, trust the process, his tightass does loosen up bit by bit and not to worry he GROVELS beautifullly, obsessively and pathetically there is GREAT character development
“That was a shitty apology.”
“I wouldn’t know.” He snaps against my lips, breathing the next ones in a soft murmur. “I’ve never done it before.”
oh you just wait until he crumbles into a possessive, obsessive, down horrendously bad whipped SIMP for her.
”You don't think I'd care?" With a scoff, he steps closer. "I've killed for you, I'd take a bullet over and over again if it meant you didn't have to endure the pain of it.”
we really go from him hating her existence to i can’t exist without you, from “Not even the sight of your pain is worth an inch of my desire” “Remove yourself”, “Touch me for a second longer and i’ll break what’s left of your functioning fingers.“ to i’m DESPERATE i’m STARVED for a touch, a kiss, a crumb of attention, muttering out a please AND ain’t that just transitions we live for 🤌🏾
”I care more about you than I do myself, and anything else.”
how he goes all baby on her damn near had me in the feels that i don’t got. i wanna gnaw on a brick I NEED THIS MAN I NEED HIM SO BADDDD
”How many times do I have to tell you I love you? How many times do I have to show you I'd do anything?”
and when he knew just how to work them “baby”“yeah?” and “oh yeah?” ’s WEAKKKK. IM WEAKKKKKKK i folded my spine in half, my ovaries released an egg and i’m nothin but a fontain of squirt
we’re also not gonna question how his germaphobia magically got exorcised the second he hit them sheets— 🧑🏻🦯 pussymatized logic! we just THANKIN GAWD cus THANK GOD. leave the neat in neatfreak out and put nasty in front of it or GERRAOUTTAHEAAA 🚪
****! contains some small spoilers from here on out !****
did i mention that he’s multilinguallllll. can speak italian with her LEARNED arabic FOR HER just so that he can communicate with her granny HABIBIIIII HAYATIIIII the future IS bright he’s got to atleast curse enzo as y hmar once
what i highly appreciate too is that it actually shows the languages being spoken with translation instead of just slapping on a lazy “he said this in this language”, like yes i wanna feel the native tongue dialogue, know what it means and mentally soundgasm myself!! 👂🏽
I look up at him and smooth my fingers coated in my own cum across his lower lip. I bring my fingers up to my lips, slip them into my own mouth and suck them clean.
A slow smile stretches my lips as I whisper my words across his. "I win.”
celina ademaro: half egyptian half italian DIVAAAAAA. rock paper scissor me. she was a fly reckless handful doing the absolute most typa bitch, i’d love her for it i’d hate her for it. there were times when i wanted her shhhhhh pipe down
but she was a good, well rounded, fun heroine that held her own and challenged adrik HEAD ONNN and blow for blow like it’s really a match folks.💥
“We’d drive him mad together.”
“Now that we would.”
“I drive. You shoot.”
ahhhh this scene 💌 turned out to be so wholesome
“Eyeing the one thing he can’t control.”
“You by my side instead of his.”
i love when leng people date leng people. straight as a ruler but i did have a bi paniccc & got mr and mrs smith/ power couple vibesss, their dynamic was IT, i adored watching their journey and how they broke their walls down together
also props for how interconnected the away series was, it all came together. the crossoverssssssssss
alessio mid man from a mid book the weakest link 😭 but nice to see him still and gigiiiiii we fw her such a girls girl!!! 🤞🏾
”Nico, language!”
“¿Qué diablos está haciendo ella aquí?” / What the fuck is she doing here?”
“I thought that you weren’t going to smoke anymore”
“I lied, baby, I lied.”
JOSIE GIMME DAT INHALERRRRRRR NICO AND BAMBIIII MY SHAYLASSSSS ARE PARENTS??? i’m getting sentimental n shit. lil pest better scoot cuz he was ma papi first

“You’ve seen my kid she’s fucking annoying.”
“She is.”
“Watch your fucking mouth.”
“I don’t need you in my home”
“Who pissed in your cereal?”
“It was probably your wife. Now her? She’s fucking annoying.”
“Watch your mouth.”
“Not so funny now is it?”

ALL THE STARS!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
MY FAV BOOK EVER. PERIOD.
Bazookah, you genius. You evil, evil genius.
This book??? This book??? THIS. BOOK. I'm ruined. I'm wrecked. I’m obsessed. Bazookah just set the GOLD STANDARD for enemies-to-lovers, and I'm never recovering. This was angsty, messy, toxic, and SO DAMN GOOD. I was devouring every word like I hadn't eaten in days. Celina and Adrik??? The definition of peak tension, peak chemistry, peak storytelling.
🔥 Enemies to lovers, but make it lethal.
💍 Marriage of convenience, but with chaos.
🖤 Morally grey x morally worse.
🔥 Tension so thick you could cut it with a knife.
💀 Revenge, betrayal, and the BEST kind of toxicity.
CELINA. My queen. My icon. My role model. She is the villain, and I LOVE HER FOR IT. The way she played Adrik like a chess piece, the way she made him lose his mind over her??? Mother is mothering. NO weak damsel-in-distress here—Celina would burn the world before letting a man control her. A girlboss with blood on her hands. A menace. A legend.
ADRIK. KOZLOV. Adrik Kozlov is the darkness I willingly drown in. This man is feral, possessive, and borderline unhinged. Every time he spoke, I was foaming at the mouth. Men written by Bazookah just hit DIFFERENT. His devotion to Celina? His obsession? His "touch her and die" energy??? I need someone to fight for me the way Adrik fights for her.
AND THE BANTER??? I WAS SCREAMING.
THE PINING. THE RAGE. THE SEXUAL TENSION. I was literally kicking my feet, throwing my pillow, throwing my phone. This book had me in a chokehold from start to finish. The way they hated each other so much, they couldn’t breathe without thinking about one another??? This is enemies-to-lovers PERFECTION.
AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE PLOT??? The betrayals. The twists. The mind games. Bazookah said "trust no one" and I took that personally. Every chapter had me clutching my pearls, screaming into the void.
I NEED this book in a hardcover IMMEDIATELY. I want to throw it at my wall, annotate the hell out of it, and then read it all over again. If Bazookah doesn’t publish this, I will be knocking on her door myself.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
✧ THIS is how you write enemies-to-lovers.
✧ THIS is how you write a strong female lead.
✧ THIS is how you write tension, chemistry, and angst.
✧ Bazookah deserves her flowers, her throne, and a book deal.
I’m so serious when I say NO OTHER BOOK WILL EVER COMPARE.
Run, don’t walk, to read this. You will never be the same.
⭐ RATING: 5/5 (infinity stars if I could)
📖 RECOMMEND? If you don’t read this, you are making a life-altering mistake.
💀 CURRENT STATUS: Emotionally ruined, physically shaking, mentally obsessed.
MY FAV BOOK EVER. PERIOD.
"What if I said I love you and hate myself for it?"
Bazookah, you genius. You evil, evil genius.
This book??? This book??? THIS. BOOK. I'm ruined. I'm wrecked. I’m obsessed. Bazookah just set the GOLD STANDARD for enemies-to-lovers, and I'm never recovering. This was angsty, messy, toxic, and SO DAMN GOOD. I was devouring every word like I hadn't eaten in days. Celina and Adrik??? The definition of peak tension, peak chemistry, peak storytelling.
🔥 Enemies to lovers, but make it lethal.
💍 Marriage of convenience, but with chaos.
🖤 Morally grey x morally worse.
🔥 Tension so thick you could cut it with a knife.
💀 Revenge, betrayal, and the BEST kind of toxicity.
CELINA. My queen. My icon. My role model. She is the villain, and I LOVE HER FOR IT. The way she played Adrik like a chess piece, the way she made him lose his mind over her??? Mother is mothering. NO weak damsel-in-distress here—Celina would burn the world before letting a man control her. A girlboss with blood on her hands. A menace. A legend.
ADRIK. KOZLOV. Adrik Kozlov is the darkness I willingly drown in. This man is feral, possessive, and borderline unhinged. Every time he spoke, I was foaming at the mouth. Men written by Bazookah just hit DIFFERENT. His devotion to Celina? His obsession? His "touch her and die" energy??? I need someone to fight for me the way Adrik fights for her.
AND THE BANTER??? I WAS SCREAMING.
"Don't run away, now."
"If I did, would you catch me?"
"Without a doubt, Celina, baby."

"What if I said I love you and hate myself for it?"
"What if I said that my love for you is not conditional.
Nothing I feel for you is conditional, Celina."
THIS IS HOW YOU EXECUTE AN ENEMIES TO LOVERS🖤
I'm in a worst slump more like life slump. Istg academic stress is the worst. It's like I've lost my charm and my enthusiasm. But i'm trying, everyday. It took me a while to finish this book but i swear it's only because I was too busy and tired. Each and every time I opened this book it drew me and I found comfort and solace in it's own dark twisted world, far away from reality. I laughed with the characters, found my heart aching in their sufferings. I experienced every emotion the author wanted to provoke.
Celina and Adrik were everything. From their chemistry, sexual tension to their love, everything was top-notch. The plot and world-building? Bazookah is a mastermind. The slow-burn burned all the way more because it was a perfect enemies to lovers. All i want is my besties to give this book a try please🙏🥺
"Don't run away, now."
"If I did would you catch me?"
"Without a doubt, Celina, baby."

why was the ending absolute cinema.. like omllll. celina and adrik have come such a long way 🥹. the story line from the beginning of the series to the end took some while to comprehend but honestly i didn't even need to understand all of it. i cant even lie i shed a tear or two when reading the last chapter bc why was it so damn sad. bazookah rlly did such a good job on this book. so so so many poetic quotes throughout this whole book and series. i genuinely thought i liked nico and josie better but after reading getaway i like celina and adrik more.. the way the book started off with them being COMPLETELY ENEMIES which i loveeee to being ADDICTED with eachother like yes i love that. him going to WAR FOR HER AND ending it by CREATING A TRUCE FOR HERRR is genuinely a real man. not only that but he started buying everything emerald green like her eyes, was extremelyyy patient with her, learned arabic for her grandma, basically took in enzo as their own child and so much moreee like is this too much to ask for.. i also love how adrik was shown as a clean freak and a quiet man at the beginning but at the end he was SUCHHH a big freak for her and was so sassy. he would also be letting her fight her own battles but was also always right behind her which was so attractive. god this man is genuinely so fine and they're just such a huge power couple. i would love an adrik in my life thank u.
"If you have a problem," Adrik's steady voice sounds as he remains behind me. "Lower your gaze.”
"Things were replaceable, emotions were ignorable and men, they were forgettable."
"Sometimes I think she asks only because she wants to hear it. I say it, tightening my fingers around hers. "I realized I love you too much to make you choose."

I love love love Celina and Adrik like omg. they are tied with Nico and Josie for my fav couple (tbh I like Celina and Adrik more because they match each other's freak tewww well), this book was everything. Adrik and Celina are both hilarious like I was cracking up and dying the entire time and the way Adrik stood TEN TOES down for her in everything situation was so ughghghhg. She earned her damn place at that table and he supported her every step of the way- the man went to WAR for her. They are literally Bonnie and Clyde and the way he is obsessed with her is so peak like ugh. Don't get me started on my goat Celina because she clocked EVERYONE. I lowk hate how there's always a second female "love" interest competing with the fmc and I'm so glad there wasn't in this book, but Natasha was so funny lmao. Celina did not play around with anyone and her pseudo-friendship with Gianna and Josie was so fun to read about. ENZO is so adorable and I will be reading the house of Bedlam when it's finished (In a bajillion years I fear) Overall I just LOVE this couple so much and this story was so interesting, plot and characters both PEAK. (Justice for Silvio and Sabrina though..)

The writing is good, but the characters are immature. The heroine is childish and makes questionable decisions, failing to convey an image of power and intelligence. The hero initially gives a better impression of the type of character the author wants to portray, but he softens in an inconsistent way as the story progresses. The couple has a lot of chemistry, but they both act like stubborn teenagers. It's a good romance book with a touch of darkness, but I wouldn't classify it as a dark romance.
*Note for anyone who wants to read the book: the marriage of convenience trope is not the priority in the story. Until halfway through the book, the couple is still just engaged.

MY FAVOURITE IN THE SERIES. ADRIK IS MY MAN. Love THEM SO MUCH. 😭
If I had to rate them all I would say
Adrik first
Then Nico
And Alessio last.
Although I gave the first book a higher rating then the second because Nico's womanising behaviour was toooo much for me sometimes BUT he was much better than Alessio.
BUT anyways loved this book. Adrik and Celina are my fav couple by far. Didn't think I'd be reading a wattpad series at my big age but this series is JUST TOOOO GOOD. 💓🫶
Can't wait for House of bedlam to be completed. 💗

true enemies to lovers, bazookah my queen
February 14, 2026
i LOVEEEE a good enemies to lovers book but maybe this book did it too well. the writing is amazing, the amount of detail is also amazing, however the book is so good the characters genuinely pissed me the hell off. whenever i got to any chapters with some sort of betrayal, i’d stop reading for about 2 weeks and spend a bunch of time complaining to my friends about how i couldn’t go on. i debated quitting the book sooo many times but i couldn’t because i had to know what would happen next. i’d totally recommend this to people that like enemies to lovers, even if your quick to get rage baited like me you’ll still enjoy it.
November 27, 2025
I redownloaded wattpad after 5 years just to read this and it did not disappoint. Do I think there were some unnecessary plot points? Yes. Did I still eat it up? 100%. This is what I need when I say enemies to lovers because I truly believe Adrik absolutely despised Celina in the beginning and vice versa which made the tension so good.

THIS BOOK WAD SOOOOOOO GOOOOD WHAT THE HELLY..I did not expect this to be so good ??after the disappointment which was hideaway I was like ‘ugh getaway is probably not gonna be good either’ ‘it won’t be as good as runaway’ BOYYYY I WAS WRONG. This is why we never judge a book before we read it cuz this is actually peak literature. the tropes were done so perfectly like this is the BEST enemies to lovers EVER. On my soul I’ve never read anything like this. They hated eachother SO MUCH like 80% of the book was tension and hatred I was questioning if they would even get together but when they did it was so worth it oh my goodness . Another thing I love about bazookahs books is how well they’re interconnected like . I would never expected Zlata was adriks sister and kai died bc he was a rat in the Russian army??? That was so unexpected and interesting . The whole book was just so good and fit perfectly into place ughh I just loved it . ANOTHER THING I LOVED WAS THAT THERE WAS A STRONG BADDIE FMC LIKE SHE ALWAYS STOOD ON BUSINESS AND COULD ACTUALLY FIGHT HER OWN BATTLES LIKE I LOVR CELINA SM😍😍😼. The whole plot was just so good like the backstory in Egypt, Adriks backstory???, Arturo finding a way to ruin everyone’s life in every book , the whole arranged marriage/their journey , Silvio’s secret family & that being the start to Celina’s villian era and so much more. I can’t even summarize the plot properly it’s just tew good.I loved that two really strong ppl were put together and there was no imbalance in power cuz in other books it’ll be a weak girl getting saved by a strong man or a weak boy with a strong woman. With this book they were both equally as evil as eachother and when one went low the other went lower so this meant there was an INSANE amount of drama which had me growing grey hairs . I swear these two were making me stressed tf out from how brutally they would retaliate against eachother whenever they would fight. But I ate this up

Very hard to get through. The beginning sounded promising but as the story progressed the repetition was very boring. And it just felt like the story was being draggedddd. The girl was super inconsistent you’re either a pushover or not. I wanted a badass fmc but she was not that 😐 the guy was consistent and a dick for the most part but what he was and did was at least consistent. the girl would so easily fold and was easily humiliated and manipulated by the mcm. And she always took him back. I needed yearning and begging and if he ever did do that it wasn’t done right since it wasn’t memorable at least for me.

A twisted tale of deception, evil, and blurred lines—but it doesn’t quite reach its full potential.
FMC: Cunning. Dangerous. Evil. She’s made a deal with the devil and proves to be more than a match for him.
MMC: Ruthless. Vicious. The devil himself. But even he may not be prepared for the darkness she brings.
This story promises a thrilling exploration of good versus evil, but it flips that on its head, blurring the lines between villain and hero. We follow a woman who, after making a deal with the devil, proves to be even worse than the man himself. With a sharp mind and a heart full of cruelty, she navigates a dangerous world where loyalties shift and hatred ignites chaos.
🔥 A game of deception and ruthlessness.
🔥 A heroine who’s as dangerous as the devil.
🔥 Lines between right and wrong blur beyond recognition.
While the concept of a female character who’s more evil than the devil is intriguing, the execution falters at times. The pacing can feel uneven, with moments dragging as the characters delve into their darkness without much progress or tension. The emotional depth that could make the characters more engaging is often lost in the haze of violence and manipulation.
The lack of sympathy for the FMC also makes it harder to connect with the story, and while her cunning nature is compelling, it can sometimes feel like the book is pushing too hard to make her a “devil” without truly developing the complexities that could make her character more captivating.
It’s a dark, twisted tale that explores loyalty, cruelty, and the blurred lines between good and evil. If you enjoy antiheroes and morally gray characters, this book has moments of intrigue, but ultimately, it doesn’t quite live up to its dark promise.
⚠️ The slow pacing and lack of emotional depth may leave some readers feeling detached, but if you’re into dark, evil characters and moral ambiguity, it’s worth a read.

I’m honestly kinda speechless. I’d rate it higher if this wasn’t a blatant ripoff of The Maddest Obsession by Danielle Lori. Surprised why no one else is making that connection on GR, but plenty of others on Wattpad have made comments on it. The MMCs entire personality from the OCD (he does everything in 3s), his looks(dark hair blue eyes incredibly handsome), the sex scenes(car sex scene was blatantly ripped off), even certain phrases are word for word... Not to mention he’s Russian and she’s Italian (literally the same as TMO), and the Wattpad author went so far as using the same pet names (malyshka) as author Danielle Lori did. The audacity of the author asking others not to copy her work, while she CLEARLY copies another I could go on about the similarities but at some point it becomes straight up plagiarism. In the notes of the previous book Bazookah mentions she’s reading TMO and how much she loved it, so I know she got inspired but it’s a whole other thing to steal so many themes from another book. The plot may have changed, but there were WAY too many instances where it felt like I was reading a badly written TMO (which I have read like 30 times because it’s one of my favorites, so I can easily spot the similarities) Even names like Gianna and Nico were stolen from Danielle Lori. But unfortunately for this author, this book didn’t hold a candle to the original. The dragged out immaturity, the failed attempt at being as witty and funny, the barely there emotional connection, it was enough to give me secondhand embarrassment. I know people love this book, and probably don’t care that it’s a ripoff but it had to be said. 🤷🏻♀️The sad thing is, this author is not untalented, and I actually enjoyed her previous book until I started noting all the stolen parts.
March 28, 2025
By far my favorite Bazookah book, and definitely my favorite of her FMCs because she's a badass who knows how to fight and isn't a complete damsel in distress. Not to mention she's hilarious- there were times in this book where I actually laughed at loud. Also I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers and there were parts in this book that had me swooning (and I'm not talking about the smut).
All that being said, as much as I love Bazookah and know she has more talent in her pinky than I do in my whole body, I do think this book fell victim to what her other books have- the plot drags on. I know it's an enemies to lovers book, but damn. One second their fighting, the next they're fucking. Then the next second they're fighting, then fucking, they're having a heart to heart and by the end of the chapter they're fighting again. I mean I love drama, but can't a bitch just enjoy the moment??? Not to mention, some of the plot devices seemed far-fetched and just striaght up dumb, like SPOLIER ALERT: when Celina pretended to be conspiring with Adrik's mother just to end up killing her. I meannnn, ypu definitely could've gone abput that a differnet way, especially since that whole fiasco only lasted 1 chapter (and also his mother was totally his to kill) That being said, I read all her books within a apan of a week while on Spring break and barely slept, so 100% her books are worth the read.

BESTTTTT BOOOOKKKK EVER!!!!! I’m soo in love with the book, honestly I’m so in love with the whole series “The Away Series”. The series made me fall deeply in love with reading; I need these books hard copy asap! Can wait for the author to actually publish them. When I tell you about characters development! Plot twist that will have you clutching your pearls! Like there is nothing that is happening that you would have saw coming! The book is just something that you will lose sleep for just because you want to finish it so bad Andddd the love story between Adriko & Celina! Jesus Christ! It’s AMAZING! One thing I will say it this book and the whole series is worth your time! You might fall in love with reading all over again on a whole other level. When I tell you I cried for daysss after finishing this book just speaks volume! Soooo go read it!
One of my favorite things is how the FMC is strong and sooo badass and she’s not showed as weak so yeah one of those muscle mamies types lol (not literally muscles but sis is like that woman from the movie “Colombiana”) but I don’t want to get into details too much because I feel by how you see me express how good this book is should just convince you enough to go on Wattpad and read it!

this took forever to read because it was an ongoing book, meaning I've actually forgotten what happens in the beginning and middle. Literally couldn't tell you a single thing. Kinda wish I just waited until it was completed but oh well.
All I know is you've got a badass fmc, which is my favourite, and a badass mmc, which is also my favourite.
Lots and lots of action which I also love.
The fmc is so quick-witted and has the best comebacks ever, I don't know how she does it but she's actually so funny. But she's also very intricately written cuz she deffo has a lot of layers to her. Same with the mmc, they both have such heart-breaking pasts. Adrik deserves the whole world, reading about his past made me so upset.
They're also soooooooo sooooo sooo cute with each other, very precious.
Love all of the side characters as well, like Sitto and Enzo. Also love the lil moments where you see characters from the previous 2 books in the series.
Overall, it was an entertaining book from what I remember. Did get a bit confused in certain parts but I think that's down to me just not remembering what happened.

I will die on the hill defending this book till my last breath. I’ve been reading for years and this is the best slow burn, dark romance, Actual enemies to lovers, Where they’re actually enemies and it’s not just hate. The story and the plot are great and it’s not just entirely focused on the characters falling in love. The character development is also great, to the point you’ll go back to read the first chapter bc you can’t believe they’re the same person. The fmc is strong and not a weak submissive character. The mmc pov is just chef kiss.
My biggest wish is to die and reincarnate as celina.
After finishing this series nothing has ever come close to it and trust me when I say this is the best book ever.
Love you bazookah
