It's been a hot minute since I read from a book where the main character is like my age

My last 2 books were pretty depressing, sooo I'm going cozy

I'm returning this early back to the library and putting this on pause. I can tell I'm going to love it, but december is just too busy to give it the attention it deserves. Maybe I'll check it back out in January

Well, this is getting extra depressing

"The florida sun had been cooking the room all day, and the air felt like soup."

Yup that sounds right

We'll see how this goes, not my normal type of book, but it's set in St. Augustine, so I had to check it out

My one complaint is that in the first 2 books, I found the romance being putting on the back burner to be a nice change of pace, but now, in the 3rd book, it lowkey sometimes just feel like Adam is just there like sometimes I forget he there and I feel rune doesn't care for him as much as Adam cares for them I hope that's changes.

Possible hot take, I like the sisters, except for Holly. She is so damn annoying. I hope she gets eaten

Hell yeah, pet dinosaur

I haven't been this creeped out by a bad guy in a long time.

Yeah, nope, it should have been for me. Basically, adult Harry Potter mixed with mafia set in a fantasy world. But it was really the writing for me, it felt like YA talking about adult things. the info dumping was so bad that the info didn't feel relevant, and the plot felt all over the place. The main character is supposed to be like 27 acts like 17 and she infiltrates the bloodmoons (magical mafia) in like 3 days

You can't keep telling me your main character is smart when she keeps doing dumb shit.

It did finally start getting good. I feel like now that I'm passed the info dumping, the beginning set up, and finally to the plot, it's all coming together. I still have some gripes, but it's growing on me.

This book basically has to the end of my work day to hook me. Otherwise, I'm dnfing

Might change, but right now, it's giving au harry potter fanfiction

I'm still vibing with this. the pace is a little slow, but I'm sure once the action starts, it's going to pick up

I like the idea of this book, but I either hate or find every character annoying, so calling it quits

I'm currently finding every character annoying

This was compared to like 4 things in the summary, but 2 of them were the princess bride and shrek, so I had to check it out.

"This isn't an eighties sitcom. I can't casually accept an orphan into my house for comic relief."

I recently learned this is called lampshading

Not for me, I'm sure people will love this. I picked this up because of dire wolves I left because of the bad romance and then to learn it's a love triangle. But she has a boyfriend at the beginning of the book. It feels very tropey on top of it. I quiting now because I know if I make it to the wolves, I will make myself read it soooo quitting while I'm ahead.

Her nickname is kitten 🤮

This is such a conflicting book like you find yourself rooting for the main character, and then the next second, you feel bad for the other characters because she's definitely the bad guy in this story

Yeah, it is literally the same setup as the first 2 books I don't need to reread, basically, the same book. Maybe this would work better if i had read them as they came out some time between each book, but they're too similar to enjoy even the plot twist are almost the same. So dnf

It feels like these books keep using the same storyline but with different characters, and it makes it quite boring. But I also still want to know what happens to the characters from the first book, sooo I don't know. I'm going to try and read this. Hopefully, I'm wrong, and it picks up

Finally this bitch is going to therapy because to be honest she needed it even before she moved in to a possessed house.

I know the main character is supposed to be insufferable, but she's really starting to get on my nerves a little

I'm pretty sure they just introduced a love interest, and his name is Austin lol (I didn't like the first guy's name was Ethan, ew)

Megan, it's time!

I'm still enjoying this, but im a little disappointed it's so far not as good as the first one like it feels extra YA and the plot twists aren't plot twisting. The characters did grow on me, so there that, and we should be getting to the point where the characters from book 1 meet book 2. But I'm just a little disappointed after the high from the first one.
