you know what, i don't want to wait until november, its a 6 book series anyways, i probably won't even be halfway by that point so why not just go ahead now instead of waiting.

Ok, as much as I am absolutely loving this series, I want to put it on pause until the special editions come out in november and read from those copies instead.

Ok I figured out the problem this book has so much purple prose to make it look dense for its short page count. I am so not in the mood for this right now

I don’t know why I keep trying to start a 4th book with the way my anxiety and depression have been lately I need to keep it simple. I’ll come back to this later.

ok...this is a bit too gruesome and also too reminiscent of current issues that I just don't want to think about when I'm already struggling with mental health as is....I think I'll try again later down the line.

time to take a bit of a breather from too many series and add a few standalones into the mix. maybe do this for the family themed books

I think I will work on this now. I have so many books going at one time anyways that it’ll probably take me a while to finish it.

i think i might start this closer to when book 2 is released so I won't have to wait

I’m just going to use this to represent darkest heart by JC McKenzie since there doesn’t seem to be an actual Goodreads entry.

Storm sterling and Camilla evergreen have become new favorites. They are my unicorn authors bc they have written closed door “dark” rom coms. I love over the top romance heroes done in a more humorous way rather than played straight. Dark romance often feels too much like the Epstein files and I would rather read about characters that go after the bad guys like Epstein and Trump instead.

This was another reason I had to put the other book on the back burner bc I can’t across a rare book that’s a closed door dark rom com stalker/kidnapper type of romance. Yesssssss. My cries have been heard.

I don’t know why I keep struggling with this book. I don’t hate it or really have any issues with it that I can really pinpoint. Its concept is interesting but for whatever reason it’s just boring. I don’t feel compelled to pick it up. But I do want to eventually finish it at some point. Maybe I’ll work on it when I’m reading something more romantically intense to balance things.

excruciating read

a 35 page sex scene was just too much even just skimming through it. i need a break.

yesss barnes and noble had this out early before its actual release date. i do want to listen to the audiobook as well bc i love their youtube channel but i doubt i'll get super far into it that starting over would be too much waste of time.

oh dang this has gothic vibes, perfect. i wanted to keep going with belladonna precisely bc of the gothic vibes for the season but i just struggle so much with series and would prefer a standalone at the moment. looks like this might be exactly what i'm looking for. its been sitting on my shelf for quite some time completely forgot about it until yesterday.
