Picked this up because it’s a Red Maple nominee for Ontario’s Forest of Reading, and I’m so glad I did.

It’s mid so far

DROPPING every other book on my shelf because nothing else matters now 🤠💅

Back in my fantasy world with the FMC I stan hardest.

Loving this so far! Weaver is one of my top favourite Canadian authors 🧚‍♂️🖤

Unexpectedly hooked….

Feyre sweetie… it wasn’t that cryptic 😭 #TheRiddleScene

Ok this is charming! I’m loving Wilder’s character. He is a golden retriever at its best. Only thing is that I don’t really feel the chemistry from Scottie’s side yet?

Dakota and Grant’s chemistry shines through their banter alone. It’s clever without trying too hard and I’m obsessed. I did not expect to laugh this much.

“Love always hurts. That’s the price we pay to experience it. Sometimes that hurt is on a smaller scale, & sometimes it’s big enough to move mountains. Either way, it hurts. U have to think of it as a cruel gift. Nothing good in life is ever free. There are always sacrifices & tough blows. And even if we never fully recover from those blows, we can appreciate the love while it was still sweet and untainted.”

How is this book breaking my heart and making it sing at the same time?? The writing is so beautiful I keep having to pause and just feel things 🥹

THAT scene had me staring into air… and Malachai’s reaction was VALID no one should interrupt his meal 😂 when he spit at him too… MY JAW DROPPED

Coming to theatres Nov 20 2026 !! 🫨

Since I’m a glutton for emotional punishment I decided to rewatch the movies while reading - *BIG MISTAKE* when I found out the reason why Haymitch calls Katniss sweetheart!!! 😭 My heart and my tear ducts are working overtime atm.

sunrise on the reaping? more like sunrise i am weeping.

Headed to Jamaica but this book’s the real getaway, absolutely no boundaries.

What the fuck is happening???? 🫣

Starting my birthday countdown with this because what’s better than a little scandalous age-gap drama to match the chaos of turning older? I’m here for the wild ride.

IM LAUGHING SO HARD WHY IS NIKO SO FUNNY he’s such a mood

I identify as a gay man after reading this. This is my first MM book and I love it here. Rina Kent, you are a POET you are the QUEEN of dark morally grey characters. I am obsessed with this series and Niko and Bran are couple goals, my lotus flower, my baby 😭🤌

I will never look at a candy cane the same 🥵🤌

If you love the grinch, this is a must read! I’m loving the sass between Cole and Storee. 💚

I’m addicted to Killian. “You make the demons go away, even temporarily. Whatever it is you’re doing, keep doing it. I like how quiet it is up here.” 🙂‍↔️🥺😩

Red flags? Everywhere. Am I still loving it? Absolutely.
