So happy I will finish this before I watch the film tomorrow, so I can be appropriately pretentious 🙏

"He kisses his teeth," I mean...sure? If you say so?

Nooooo... There is NO. WAY. in hell someone could just sign up as a life drawing model without going through a proper modelling workshop... Also, as an artist who's attended life drawing sessions on a weekly basis for years, I can tell you that a "perfect model" isn't about how a person looks, but about how well they can pose and hold a specific pose.

"...overcome with a strange, swirling sensation in her stomach that she knew from her books to call insecurity."

I guess mermaids don't normally have insecurities...must be nice 🥲

Over 100 pages and I'm still wondering why we had to be so dramatic about separating our MMC and FMC at the end of book 1, when we immediately have them constantly interacting here without issues.

Sooo... she's a mermaid and his name is Fin(n)?...FATE? 🤷

Mystery/Thriller really doesn't seem to be my genre... I blame my mom and her obsession with Investigation Discovery Channel (it's all that was ever on TV at home 😭)

Books about art/architecture without pictures should be... I don't know. Given a trigger warning, something like "This book might really piss you off"

Re-read, to see if I'm going to like it as an adult (I read it only once, as a literal child)

Yeah, be more angry please 😠

Oh boy...

I need more Demarr family relatives showing up in the future, because I'm loving this chaos 😂

Damn, this is way better than I expected, the plot is plotting and HOW am I meant to work now 😭

I loved this as a kid/teen, let's see if something changed in alnost 20 years 😂

Nooooo...You did NOT use 'Who did this to you?'verbatim again in this book too 😭😭😭

OK I feel like so far, not much has actually happened 🫠🫠🫠

“Sir, you are a blond man. Calm down.”

Hahahah what a burn 😂

"Dane’s mouth is on mine, open and panting, hungry like he didn’t just devour half a cheeseburger."
Ew no. Let's leave cheeseburgers out of this 😭.
What am I reading. This is giving me an existential crisis.

OK wow, this picked up. From "meh, why are people so excited about this" to wait WHAT is happening (complimentary)...😦

Ugh I'm loving this...generally I love the take here on ghosts and demons, but I like that despite the cool paranormal setting it still makes me want to research things about history.

I've been here since 2006 😭 Ugh, how am I meant to accept that this is the last book...and yep, 80 pages in, and I'm sobbing for a character I actively disliked in all previous books 🫠

Does this woman have anything nice to say about anyone... 😭

I hate her brother, omg 🫠🫠🫠

Finally on KU 😭

So I'm getting STRONG vibes that I will not be OK at the end of this... because...you can't be saying what I think you're saying 😭😭 😭

“Hellion, you don’t want the darkness that lives in me anywhere near you.”
OK, Batman 🦇

* heavy breathing * ...and it does NOT, in fact, mean what you think it means.
