I have been trying to read this all week, but it’s just not doing it for me. I’m bored.

Yeah, I’m out at 15%.
They’re both narcissicts.
“You don’t know my name…I’m the most famous supermodel in the world” 🙄
“I am the biggest rock star in the world.”

OH! I am EATING THIS UP. 👏

Quite frankly, I am absolutely terrified to finish this because I know I will never be the same again, but at this time, I’m just not in the mood. Pausing for now, but this audiobook is incredible!

Reallly not a fan of this man. ✌️

Not a fan of the FMCs body insecurities to be such a plot point. No thanks.

Things went off the rails pretty quickly. I’m out.

DNF. Not a fan of what’s happened so far

Wishing things were moving along quicker…

“I know what her mouth tastes like now. She kissed me and every voice in my head went silent. Like someone had yanked a cord from the wall.”
Oh, I love this precious man so much 🥹

No tension, no yearning, super formulaic and at this point I probably should just DNF…

DNF 10%; the FMC is going to lie about the authenticity of a first edition to make money and not just can’t get behind that at this time

Oh, this forbidden, toxic love is absolutely SENDING me.

“How did you center a tracking spell? I wasn’t aware you had anything of mine in your possession.”

You’re in my veins, I wanted to answer. It was the truth. If someone were to spill my blood, scatter my very being to the winds, I suspected the remaining tatters of my spirit would still yearn for her somehow.

The spice to plot ratio is getting a little out of hand lol. Pausing for now

Pausing for now. Not a fan of insta love, but might return when the mood strikes!

DNF 53% (525 pages). I simply cannot handle toddler behavior any longer.

DNF 6% I guess I should have paid closer attention to the title of this book and the trigger warnings, as it is a literal quest across the realm to collect her dead lover’s bones 🫣 just not for me

DNF

This is already the best book in the series. Nikolai is a chaos goblin and I love him.

Christmas came early! Thank you Harper Collins for an ARC!

DNF 51% for the plot hole. The MMC read the FMC’s romance book TWICE overnight in its entirety and has notes. I can’t with the impossibility.

I am so utterly delighted that I can’t predict what’s going to happen!!!

So far I’m getting a bunch of behind the scenes POVs with little no ZERO interaction with the FMC. What makes this series so bingeable are those connections, and without it I’m not really wanting to continue.

I’m getting second hand cringe so hard and it’s pulling me out of this story.

I need her to get her shit together asap or I might DNF

I’m doing great over here 😭

“You can’t pull me from rock bottom and then send me right back.”
My heart was a splattered mess between us, the love inside of it spitting and snarling for one last beat. He could scoop it up in his palms, mold it into something beautiful, something better, and return it to the bleeding cavern inside my chest.
Or he could stomp it out.

“I’m so happy you’re here” has 18 mentions. 😭

Oh. This is not a light romantic comedy. Got it. Changing expectations. 🥹 I’m already a mess.

I feel like all of the meetings could have been a mass email and I will not be explaining further.

My obsession with this series and this man is on another level!!!

Chakra is mentioned 18 times in this book 🫣
