“I admit, I’d dreamt of being ravaged by Anne Rice’s vampires. I’d seen it on the big screen in my head. It’s the eighteenth century, and I’m standing in an alley, the handsome, questionably evil Lestat is between my thighs.”

OMG HELL YEAH. Queen

Better written than most dark romances so far

"You shouldn't lie till ten. There's the very prime of the morning gone long before that time. A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o'clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone."

Calling me out over here 😭

It’s getting a bit better as I expected with the flashbacks starting - I feel so bad for Heathcliff :(

It’s so boring rn 😭 all that has happened is our random NPC main character got attacked by dogs and talked to a few servants

Uhhh I just realised that Cathy and Heathcliff are technically siblings…

I’m sorry but that ending was ridiculous… It was like oh this person died and that person died and that person died but oh wait! They didn’t actually die it was all just a trick lmao! Plus this guy was a fake and everyone was lying! 😒 And Tella’s acting like she did the best thing in the world while Scarlett’s now traumatised for life and probably won’t be able to trust her sister again 💀

Tella wtf

“The Caraval sky was a creamy blur of butter and vanilla swirls. It made Scarlett think the air around her should taste like sweetened milk and sugared dreams”

🤨 Sentences like this is what’s stopping me from rating this 5 stars

This book is really confusing when you already got spoiled on who Legend is

This book must be laced with crack because I’m addicted

“Something wasn't right. Scarlett's emotions were swirling like into messy grays and dull whites. Normally Scarlett just saw flashes of color attached to her feelings…”

Does Scarlett have synesthesia or something?

“I think this cut might need stiches,” Scarlett said, yet as her cloth wiped away the blood it revealed a smooth line of unmarked, unbroken flesh. “Wait, I don’t see a wound.”
“There’s not one. But that feels really good.” Julian moaned and arched his back.

🥵

I feel like if Caraval was an RPG it would slap

“I might have also told her that we were getting married,” Scarlett added.
My little liar, Julian mouthed, his lips parted slightly as he slowly leaned in closer.

😳

Also realising how much Phantasma copied this, like FMC enters deadly game in mansion to find her impulsive sister? Meets flirty untrustworthy MMC who helps her in the game? 🤔

“If you turn your back to me, we can both change.”
“We can both change facing each other too.” There was a smile in his voice now.
“That’s not what I meant,” Scarlett said.

Juliannn 🤭

Honestly guys… it reads a bit like something written on a fanfic website but I’m still kind of having fun with it since Julian is hot and the plot is pretty interesting.

I’m enjoying this so far, I find the writing style really entertaining and engaging. Also it’s so cool that it’s based on real serial killers! Also poor Tran :(

“Have I told you how hideous you look tonight?” Cardan asks, leaning back in the elaborately carved chair, the warmth of his words turning the question into something like a compliment.
“No,” I say, glad to be annoyed back into the present. “Tell me.”
“I cannot.”

🤭

I get it Jude Cardan has long fingers 🙄

THEY KISSED

“And if one of the spies returns?” he asks me, rousing from his stupor enough to actually seem concerned. “They’re going to discover you in their lair and…”
He trails off at the smirk on my face and subsides into stunned silence.

Jude is so queen 👑

Just finished Part 1 and um wtf? I hate Balekin like I know Dain was kinda evil but at least he’s not Balekin like- 😰 My respect for Madoc has gone down 📉

“You are my creature, Jude Duarte.”

😩 If evil why hot
