I had to comment about this right now. Chapter 39 is exquisite. The level of emotion…and it was so well written. Finally something got me. It’s been a minute.

Oohh…this is deliciously FUN! I’m loving this! And the moment I heard James Cassidy’s voice and he called himself Big D…the best! I literally Laughed out loud! MORE!

Serious cringe. Thank God this book is short. Not sure if I could make it through otherwise.

OMG I am looooving this!! My heart is in my throat!! 🥲🥹😰

I find it extremely frustrating that they had to go through a ritual spell to take away Briony’s innocence. Um, what happened to the traditional way? What is Tovin’s hangup already??? I’m dying to know. This is the most frustrating slow burn ever. It’s not even fun. He acts like she’s contagious. It’s maddening!

I’ll admit, the first chapter of this book made me cringe so hard. I was really questioning if I could make it through, but I’m loving it. It’s rom com perfection!

I know I’m almost done with this, but seriously, these are the dumbest smart people ever. Everytime there’s an incredible threat to life, instead of vanquishing it every time they have an opportunity (and there are many!) they dither and choose some form of mercy and guess what?! They suffer. Like didn’t you learn this lesson already with Barbary????? Ffs

I kinda hate this.

🤯🤯🤯

“Don’t die, Kaine”
“There are far worse fates than dying, Marino.”
“I know.. but that one you don’t come back from.”
“Alright then… but only because you asked.”

Well, well, weeeeeelllll….🤔

This story is so complex, there’s so much information. It’s barely begun, yet, I feel like I’ve already been fed so much to digest. And then that eye contact during the solstice party. Something about that one tiny thing is more compelling than a whole regular book. I’m going to enjoy losing myself.

🙄ummm… I hate to be disrespectful to any author, but, Lord, the corn. I’ve cringed so many times already. The plot- I can’t. The rest…is the only reason I’m not DNFing this. I’ll stay for the rest.

Lord, the rage this book invokes! I can’t even imagine. And Lady Duxbury’s story has been the most heartbreaking of all so far.

I’m struggling a little. I feel bad, because I really love the storyline, I love the characters, and the slow burn was so good, but there’s so much past trauma that it’s kinda putting a damper on it for me. I’ve finally reached what I think is the pinnacle, and I just can’t get into the correct headspace. It’s making me want to step away from it for a bit….

I know why Keri Lake can write a fantastic fantasy romance! Because she’s a sorceress!!! Looooving this take on the magic and that slow burn, 🔥 always 🥵

Uugghh!! Isolde is so tedious! Can’t wait to be done with this. I feel like I can’t sink into this as a romance when she’s always picking fights. How in the hell did she inspire devotion that spanned centuries?

A woman who wants to be a queen and a conquerer, yet throws a tantrum and a hissy fit every 5 seconds over things she admittedly knows need to be done and lays the blame for it all on the one man who spent 200 years avenging her. I dare say she is undeserving. Completely insufferable.

I was liking this series, I still am, but I have to say I’m annoyed that Isolde turned into one of those hounds. I’m sure there’s probably a purpose but, I was hoping for something else. And I also have to add, her personality is a bit off putting. She’s childish and rude.

🥵🥵Keri Lake…thank you for this.

Are these wolf shifters or robots? How many times have I read the word “recalibrating” so far? The note taking…it all feels so cold, detached, and scientific. There’s hints of feeling underneath, but it’s annoying me.

I got like 2 pages into this, and nah. So disappointing. I thought I’d be learning something about SCIENCE. Instead within the first two pages I’m already being schooled on the various types of people who menstruate, and what to call them. Spare me. Let me also complain that this Goodreads challenge has the worst selection to choose from. As a woman, how sad. No badge for me I guess.

So, this started out with so much potential, but the whole family drama thing seems to play a much larger part than the romance story itself, and at 60% through, you’d think there would have been a more developed romance plot. But…they’ve only had a few dates and a few kisses, and the tension that existed initially seems to be nonexistent. The characters “say” otherwise, but it doesn’t translate.

I had to put an update…I love the snark and humor so far!! So far my favorite line is “he makes the phone hand gesture, the one old people use” lol!!

This is excruciating! I can’t even believe that twist. I’m so emotionally wrung out, i need a time out.

Lord have MERRRCY!! The emotions are bleeding over the pages! This trilogy takes top spot for the year so far, no matter how it ends. 🥵

Now I’m not sure!!!! Scath is acting childish, and I just wonder now if his recently developed feelings are really going to trump the extra history with Ty. Oh, this is maddening.

This has sucked me in so good! Ugh, love the feeling of being totally grabbed by a story!!

Well, one of those ideas I had was right! Interesting…I’m not sure how to feel right now.

What was that, Kingfisher…? I had to back it up 30 seconds a few times, just to make sure! Feral.
