You don't even understand how EXCITED I am about this arc guys, the final book in my most beloved urban fantasy universe (22 books!!!) IS HERE and I'm not ready to say goodbye but also I'm sooo back with all my beloved characters 😭😭😭❤️❤️

Sorry I need to go cry myself to sleep see you later 💔😭

This book is giving all the melancholic, gothic vibes I could want but I've been at it for the last four days 😭 And it's absolutely not the book's fault, guess my focus is seriously lacking when I come home from work (don't we all know it) 😩
Gotta lock in during the weekend cause the story deserves it 😤

It's right then that I realise: There's no worse feeling than to yell and yell and feel like no one can hear you.
[...] Actually, that's wrong. The worst feeling is that sneaking suspicion that people can hear you, loud and clear, and they still don't care enough to answer.

💔💔

"Let me be as clear as I've ever been. Okay? Once you're eighteen and paying bills, you can make whatever decisions you'd like. But for now, this is our house; our stuff - our rules. You own none of this, you hear me? You don't have rights; you have privileges, and we can take them away at any time."

Let me just put this book down for a sec so I can fucking scream into my pillow in rage 🙈

🦊🦊🦊 I'm craving fox shifters and this provides all the adorable fox cuddles I need 😭🦊
But also, the worldbuilding is nonexistent so far. PLEASE, does any of you amazing readers know of at least one good fox shifter book? 🥺 Otherwise I'll need to go dig through my AFTG fics again 🫩😂

Let's just...completely ignore the fact that August, with such a personal connection to it, should never be working this particular case 🫡 Nevermind him being so emotional with every victim, it's a wonder he's still a detective in general.
I want to love it so much but so many things require some degree of suspension of disbelief I'm not sure I'm capable of right now 😭

Maybe I'm singing a bit early but this is SO GOOD! 😳 I might actually become a KJC stan with you all ❤️ Magpie Lord was my first book I read and it didn't work for me, but everything else so far has been kind of a hit 👌

Jesuuuuus the writing might be kinda basic and repetitive but the pull is real, I'm so hooked it's not even funny 👁👄👁

Aaah, so this one requires you to turn your brain completely off! ...wish me luck on that lol 😂
But it's easily digestible at least 👀

😭😭 I need to slow down because I don't want this book to end, ever, this family feels like my own chosen one I kid you not 😭😭
I'll never understand how this author isn't a bestselling one. Just shows that trad pub is kind of a joke.

When in doubt (on the verge of a slump), go to Suanne Laqueur ♥️♥️ In love with the people by page thirty, letting my first tears out by page fifty. That's not a talent, that's a genius

I'M SO SORRY to my other current read but this freaking arc just dropped and I'm NOT strong enough to resist!!! 😭😭😍😍

I feel like the author kinda struggled with the timing for the appearance of the sexual attraction on Levi's part because we have this beautiful, emotional bonding moment that makes me heart hurt, and suddenly I'm slapped with ass-oggling 😭😭
Otherwise, I completely love being in Silas' head, my poor boy 🥺💔❤️

JFC I didn't expect this setup to hit so hard but...if you've ever been inseparable with someone, a childhood best friend, and the eventual separation came with all the hurt and feelings of abandonment, this portrays that perfectly 💔💔

Fuuuuck I was just punched by the feels out of nowhere, what the hell 😭😭 This one will leave a scar by the end...🥲💔❤️

...is this too soon to say I'll definitely need a physical copy as a trophy?? 😳😳

Istg this is so hard to put down, the pace is barely allowing me to breathe 😳 And this book might just win the medal for the most nauseating werewolf shift I've ever encountered 😬🤌🤌

This is quite incredible and I just wanna race till the end so of course I have to put it down so I'm not a complete zombie at work 🥲😭

I...genuinely didn't expect this book to hit so freaking hard with no punches pulled. Joke's on me, I guess 🙃

"My closet isn't as loving towards me as Jamal's. Mine is dark and stuffy, and I feel like I'm locked in. My dad and Father John and God Himself have their backs against the door so I'd have to push through all of them to make it out. They all chant those ever-familiar words on repeat from the other side.
What you're doing is a choice. And you're making the wrong one."

Adore the characters, love the writing (though it's overwritten), yet it's proving to me that I'm just NOT a romance reader, not when the romantic relationship development is the only plot 🥲 I feel like I'm being drowned in emotions (this is not a slowburn for sure) and it makes me feel...disconnected.
I'm not dropping it cause I still love Sydney and James but it will sure take me a while to finish 🙈

I desperately want at least one 5-star read this month so I'm pulling out the big guns, my hopes are SO HIGH (and of course I'm already hopelessly in love with both James and Sydney)! ❤️❤️

"I had expected to meet with a group of young gentlemen tonight - scholars and philosophers, peers - but I find myself in a darkened library with a pack of boys playing at grave self-importance."
"I'm sorry, ma'am," Evind said, then sucked a breath through his teeth, as if he hadn't meant to say it.

DAMN girl, I might actually start to like Marta 😏 go and destroy those egos!

😮‍💨 I'm already sorry in advance to everyone who loved this. I promise to not be too harsh 🙈💔

Nothing like queer urban fantasy to get me out of the obsessive AO3 rabbit hole - AND with a book dedicated to Nora freaking Sakavic? Looks like we have a winner ❤️

Oh my god Gu Fei 😭😭 That boy is tearing my heart to pieces right now 😭

...okay but that 13-pages long sex scene between a trans guy and a merman with two cocks? 👁👄👁
...delicious 😳🤌🤌🔥 (and yes I don't say things like that often)

Well, it's safe to say that the characters certainly mirror their originals - Henry is just as insufferable and manipulative, Dorian just as naive and easy to manipulate, and Basil the most likeable and sensible out of the three of them 🙈

"Did it happen to a girl you know?"
Geno looked up, screaming inside, Why a girl? Why do you assume a girl? Think it can't happen to a guy? Think a guy can't be drugged and raped? Any of you got brothers? Do you worry about them?

And this is why this book is not only gut-wrenching and beautiful, but also a goddamn important read 💔💔
