Chapter 38. Our FMC kisses the guy that’s been kissing and screwing someone else most of the book.
Cringe. Cringe. Cringe.
This is the worst love triangle. The guy that gets all the gals. Patriarchal bullshit

Chapter 33. Is Blayne being star marked supposed to be a big reveal?

Chapter 48. Yet again Diem is drinking flame root. Yet again she’s in a position of weakness. Yet again she isn’t strong. She isn’t a leader. She doesn’t come up with a good plan.
Just more bad plans. More getting herself in a stupid situation.
Disappointing chapter after disappointing chapter just to make the book longer

Chapter 40 and surprise! Diem still can’t figure out how to lead

Chapter 36. How stupid can Demi be?
As soon as that cup was handed to her she should’ve know.
This is exactly why I DNF’d this book before. So fucking dumb!

Chapter 34. THIS is how Demi should’ve reacted when she had the meeting at her return. Instead of letting them all hit her with there power.

I’m so disappointed. I’ve soft DNF’d

Am I enjoying this book? Yes.
But it’s books like this that make me wonder why I’m not writing books of my own. ‘Cause, if they can get paid for this bad grammar, then should be able to get paid for better writing with grammar.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve seen a lot worse.

I’ve read two pages since the last update. I’m thinking about DNFing.
This is pretty bad

A good editor would’ve made this book so much better.
I’m having trouble reading because I keep rolling my eyes so much.

I just finished the prologue… if this can be published, surely my writing can too! #newmantra

Yikes! Chapter one is super dry.
I figured this was some sort of fanfic of CC & Elain from ACOTAR, but I’m barley into chapter 2 and booooored

Chapter 23 and I’m thinking about DNFing. I can’t get behind making Regan, the female protagonist, someone to root for.
Is what’s happening to her bad? Yes. Did she make a human rip out her own throat? Yes, yes she did. She bullied the FMC and has made bad choices all for power. So, no. I can’t see her redemption

Chapter 15. I really don’t know where this story is going. I get wanting to bring supporting characters forward, but this feels too crowded. There’s too much mixed in. We’ve lost the plot. I’m bummed. I liked this arch, but it feels more like a loopty loo now.
I think she’s trying to do what SJM did with HOFAS, but with all the characters in the same room. It’s not working.

Got on sale for 75 cents… I’m not sure if I’ll be continuing the series or not

Did writers not used to leave large spaces in chapters for transitions? I feel like it’s been done like that for a while.
Besides the rough scene transitions, unnecessarily using “had” after I, and over describing everything… well, I’ve been trying to read this book for way too long long

Chapter 2: Can I just ponder that SJM read this book and it inspired the Crescent City series? ‘Cause it feels like it

Ch 61. How is what’s supposed to be hot so fucking funny?!!!!

Chapter 35: Oven eyes?! Bahahahaha. Bahahahaha. Bahahaha bahahahaha bahahahaha bahahahhahaha

Chapter 34. So, we’ve dropped the lame nickname Rookie, for the new cringe of Lola.
Bahahahaha

Chapter 29. We’ve stepped into a 1930’s Noir detective movie. I half expected “the Butcher” to have Transatlantic accent.

Chapter 28: now we have some Harry Potter thrown in the mix

It’s like 2 people wrote this book.
The person that used all of SJM’s ideas and an editor that did their best to keep it from being straight up plagiarism

The author looks too young to use the word cripes. Wasn’t it popular to use in the 50’s?

Okay, seems we’ve moved past this being SJM fanfic of mixing CC and ACOTAR, and into it being its own story.
I felt the MMC offering to help a hot stranger was forced. As forced as the FMC accepting the help of a hot deadly stranger.
But, it is what it is, and I’m dialed in. Chapter 18
