Holy spicy spooky book 🄵
I’m not even usually one for professor/student vibes but this is just wrote so well it completely envelops you into the story. I’m so hooked that I’m actually beginning to get sad that this is only one book.

Current 43% in and I can fully say that this book is delivering everything I wanted out of an October stand alone read.

Spooky, creepy vibes.
This book reads more like a mysterious academia-murder mystery imo than a fantasy. But I guess the disease/parasite is fantasy.
I’m so invested in our two MCs.

The only thing I can think right now is- please let this be a series. I don’t want it to end

I can’t put this damn book down.
Cross & Dove just kissed. Kaine and wren have kissed. Jordan has just shown up on base. And we’re starting undercover opps.

So far I want Roe to get his karma and Anson & Kess suck too.

I have a sneaking suspicion that either Cross or possibly Kaine is ā€œWolfā€ and that Wren has more abilities than she now knows of

This is easily becoming one of my favorite reads so far this year. For me, there hasn’t been any dull spot in the story like you normally get in the middle of books.

They aren’t afraid to kill main characters and emotionally hurt you, and there are side enemies with the main ā€œbigā€ enemy. Theres gooey cinnamon roll love interests and broody mysterious ones.

Already guessing this book is going to be a 4-5 star read for me.

Dystopian world where modified humans have come into existence and are segregated, hated, and hunted basically. An evil leader. A secret group fighting back. An FMC getting caught somewhere in the middle.

Needed something different from my usual reads, and this was recommended by my GJJ instructor.

So far, we’ve just learned simple knowledge needed to understand the book and where the studies and information came from.

Thoroughly enjoying myself with this book so far. It’s easy to get into.

However, I will say as an audible listener- the names can make it a little hard to follow at times. There are a lot of names through around in the beginning and middle and they’re all ā€œdifferentā€ enough that it gets hard to remember them all sometimes.

Our FMC, Prisca is half fae with magical powers in a world where the human king is stealing magical powers from everyone ages 0-25. Having magical powers you didn’t give up is punishable by death.
Prisca escapes and joins a merry bunch of ā€œmercinariesā€ all with powers, but I have my hunch that they’re more than just mercenaries.

The plot twist was good! No reinventing the wheel here but still good plot, good twists, and good action.

Ugh the slow burn is killing me. We just got our first spicy scene beyond just kissing and it was cut short by the castle being under attack 🄲

Ugh, I’m fairly convinced that Kane and Arwen are fated mates and Kane can hear her thoughts, which would bring another two of my fave tropes into play.

This book gives such easy feel-good vibes. There’s hardships, but it continues to be an easy read with easily likable characters.

Kane Ravenwood is giving daddy vibes and HELL yes to him being around 26yo.

The world building was easy to catch onto. We haven’t quite gotten into the magic system yet. The storyline is mostly building so far, but it’s cutesy and easy to follow along. I’m guessing our rogue dungeon visitor is the a risky the king šŸ¤žšŸ¼

VIOLET GD SORRENGAIL. Outsmarting the ā€œwisestā€ people. Hell yeah!!

RY is keeping us on the edge of our seat with this book. Everytime you think you know something, she flips the script.

The way that this book has me in a CHOKEHOLD.
This is a must read for all Harry Potter lovers. 🄲

At 89% and we finally have possible hope for Draco and possible redemption for Lucius. Also- not going to lie, I was a little sad that Astoria died and didn’t get redemption. She was a product of what happened to her..

This book just keeps getting better and better. Hermiones POV of the flashbacks is so powerful. Misunderstood, alone- under appreciated. She deserved better and the only one who recognized that was Draco.

Hermiones been healing runes on Malfoys back and also training dueling with him. My most recent theory is that the ā€œbe more cruelā€ rune makes him the way he is and he also asked for hermione because if he can change her mind about him then he might actually be good?

This book is LONG first of all.
Hermione is pregnant and very sick from it. We’ve gone into flashbacks of the ā€œbeforeā€ and learned that Malfoy was helping the Order in exchange of having Hermione, but we don’t know why he wanted Hermione. They’ve kissed but mostly just practiced legilamency

Okay so my current theory is that Malfoy and Hermione were a couple before/during the war and that Malfoy may be a double agent.

Malfoy just kissed Hermione for the first time while drunk and called her ā€œGrangerā€ instead. Also, when healing Hermiones eye I got the suspicion he learned healing from her
