The weird formatting and the double space after every sentence is really starting to piss me off. Doubt this has ever seen an editor…

Reread ✨

Okay… struggling a bit with the pacing now. Are the negative reviews actually justified lol?

I think we all know who this book is about. 🤭

I was obsessed with the show when I was young, but I never managed to collect all the books. Time to fix that 🫡

Reading this for my buddy Josh because he’s been begging me to read this for months. 🙇🏼‍♀️

I pushed reading this off for so long because I had such high expectations, but oh, my! I was afraid for no reason. 🙇🏼‍♀️

Guess what?! My dog ate this book 😅. Guess it’s audiobook from here onwards.

Is it just me or does this book get the Netflix treatment? So many sentences state the obvious and repeat details. I’m not scrolling my phone and reading at the same time…

You guys, I got the second part early. 🥺 let’s go!!

Buddy read with my Mum. 😊 I finally convinced her to read this!

Why did I think this was a sapphic read? The blurb doesn’t actually mention that. 😑 But Shane?!

I solely picked this up because I got the free audiobook hours via Spotify. I swear… 😎

I swear I’m here for the plot 🤭

Simone Ashley did such a remarkable job in the show that book Kate will never be the real Kate 😤

Current wait time for part 2 at my library: 22 weeks 🥲. I don’t know if I can wait that long.

Reading this in preparation for season 4. I’ve never read any of the books and this is the only one I own. 😆

This book is brilliant, but it’s making me uneasy 😅. I keep making up excuses not to read it. This is what Tender is the Flesh wanted to be.

I know it looks like I’ve abandoned this book, but I find myself grabbing it on and off. Still enjoying the read. 📖

Okay, the original KU edition and the new edition are completely different. This is one of the biggest edits I’ve seen in a KU going traditional publishing. 🤔

I also got the audiobook for this one. The library gods have blessed me 👏🏻📚. I also have the old kindle edition of this book. It’s going to be interesting to compare that edition to the new one.

So far I’m enjoying this. This one is better than the first book 🫢

Finally got the audiobook through the library. I’m only reading this for Hunt 🫡

Let’s hire a US American voice actor to fake a Swedish accent. What could go wrong?

I need something ✨witchy 🐈‍⬛

Not vibing with this whatsoever. It’s kinda… boring?

Comment from my husband because I made him listen to this in the car today: “Frederick is very well written and he strikes me as very old… but Cassie is one of the worst heroines ever. How dumb can you be.”

That’s the point. Nobody else would have rented an apartment with a vampire. 😏

Managed to read a bit more but definitely considering DNFing this book

“Choppy, brown hair and green eyes, I barely have any baby fat left in my cheeks at seventeen. Boys my age always call me hot. Men, older than me, call me alluring.”
