Literally just started and confused as hell. Actually had to pause the audio to make sure this wasn’t book 2 in a series.

70% in and just now getting the first tiny bit of spice. WHAT IS THIS RUBY??

ALC Read! Thank you NetGalley!

ARC read

Vampires? Ok I’m listening…

Arc read!
This is starting out amazing.
1: Narrated by Meg Sylvan (my girl!!)
2: Dedication: “To the eldest daughters - You are seen. You are loved. And you are ENOUGH.”
*cue tears*

“I would risk injury daily to hear your laugh, Moonlight.”

“There is not a word I know for what I feel for her. She is… everything. Everywhere - the stars, the earth, the very air. She is everything. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for her.”

OMGGGGGGGG!!!!

ARC read!

“I didn’t notice colors before you.”

*SQUEAL* !!!!!!

“It’s the rules!”
“It’s *MY* wife!”

*giggles and kicks feet*

What. In. The. Cheshire. Cat. …..

STUPID!!!!

Nah.. this is dumb. The whole time??? It’s there the whole time??

Really not liking the mix of fantasy and real world. A magical hotel home to Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and Elizabeth Taylor…. Somehow mixed with time manipulation and a spy network? I can’t even tell what genre this is anymore.

I’m really not enjoying this. I’m one chapter away from DNFing.

Ugh the yearning!!!!

Suzanne Collins’s “The Hunger Games” meets Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game.”

I’m getting major Bella Swan vibes. But also she said 7th grade was 4 years ago. So she’s in 11th grade? She’s 16-17? This book is touted as spicy though…. #confused.

Oh AND…. The narrator has the strangest accent. It’s like British and Caribbean??? Certain words just sound.. wrong. For example, the word “thudded” is pronounced “tudded.”

The formatting for this book is absolutely rancid - especially for audio. There are 274 “sections,” not chapters, sections. The scene often abruptly ends mid conversation and the next section starts a new scene. There is also an annoyingly long pause between each section even listening at 2x speed. If I didn’t love Greek mythology, I wouldn’t even keep listening.

FINALLLLYYYYY getting spicy

Oh and obviously One Dark Window.

Harry Potter meets Divergent vibes so far.

“….a neat silver set of what looked like enchanted butt plugs…”

I’m sorry, enchanted what??

Major Hogwarts vibes - magic academy, trials, magic wands, spells, enchanted brooms.

Ohhhhh Meph! M E P H *facepalm*

Meth? This guys name is Meth?
