It was been a minute. As in a month on no reading. Full confidence this final instalment in the Rook and Rose series will turn this around.

"You're stalking me?"
"I'm not stalking. I'm hunting. He was stalking."

This is like some super-fucked-up Stockholm-syndrome-adjacent thing I've got going on.

She's not an angel, for fucksakes. She drugged me. She's a fucking demon.

Figured off the back of one insanely hyped book I may as well start another one.

But this one. My goodness, this one is so very worth the hype.

I can not handle this. The fourth floor. ?! Honestly. What the actual fk. The drama. No. This is not what I signed up for.

It was just getting good again but y’all if what I expect to happen is happens I’ll riot. And in a bitter sweet kind of way.

The intent of this novel was fantastic. The execution thus far, subpar. The writing is awful. The trauma dumping, heavy handed.

Halfway in and Frankie is home now. I’m intrigued that we will be getting such a detailed look into the aftermath of war. However I’ve read more thoughtful PTSD responses in romances novels than this so far. So I’m not looking forward to the next 50%

It’s clearly a me thing. Because this is not it for me. The trauma yes very emotionally triggering. It gets you. But take the very surface level trauma moments away and what are you left with. A sever lack of depth and a hell of a lot of telling and not showing.

Ahahaha I can not begin to explain how much more I’m loving A Photo Finish over Off to the Races.

The women or The woman?

I have no idea how I feel about this. All I know is im disturbingly invested in how this plays out.

In my mind I’m absolutely flying through this book.

Y’all this is actually so cute it’s giving Beau and Bailey. Even the river.

Loving this so much more this time round

Wit, you are everything. If you didn’t sing the song as you where reading it…. We can’t be friends.

Couldn’t find any YouTube videos with a detailed summary. So here we are.

I need to find some detailed summary of We Hunt The Flame. Because I currently feel like I’ve just jumped into the middle of an epic fantasy I don’t even know the title of ha.

Taking a me day or more actuarially morning. And pulling out all my kindle notes to finally write a few reviews and note my favourite quotes. Find me a more perfect morning.

The burn is slow and I’m very ok with it

“Fuck it”.
