The language and fantasy-style is sooooo old school but I'm reading it through because I'm very intrigued by the Eld Mages.

July has been so busy that I got stuck. Still enjoying it. I often prefer my "light" reads to be uncomplicated but I'm all in for the mess that Daisy Jones & The Six are. They make problematic choices and it makes them all that more interesting (although I don't condone a lot of their decisions).

listening to the audiobook and really love the narrators. the format really works for this book.

Katsuo who?

(I’m sorry, but I really do have an extreme soft corner for any kind of kitsune story)

Now that a kitsune has appeared, I can’t help but wish for a kitsune story :3

At this point, I really don’t want Shea to be with Fallon, unless he changes.

There’s a person named Indra (presumably named after the Hindu god) and OF COURSE, she’s the leader of the Snake Clan. Why are Indians always delegated to snake symbols in fantasy...whyyyyy

But so far, this book has been excellent. Absolutely love Shea.

I’m praying SO hard that this doesn’t end up being a disappointment because it is amazing so far.

Only one page in and I already adore Shea’s voice

reading it again for a challenge <3 (not like I need a reason to read it over and over again)

Was waiting for the slut-shaming to happen, and voilà!

“I find myself entertained by the naturalness of it, no pretenses like the one’s I’m used to seeing”

Ugh no. Classic “she’s so different from other girls” trope that I detest with all my heart.

(Also, clearly needs editing)

Yes, please let there be preternatural elements *keeping fingers crossed*

Maybe I should read the DOSAB trilogy again??? Hmm...

Been quite busy with work due to an upcoming deadline for a project, and hence, I haven't been able to read much or be active on GR :/

I don’t know how long I’ll last with this book. Im v close to giving it up.

Why is the narrative swinging between The Professor and Mr.Emerson. Why not just use Gabriel when it’s his POV? It creates such a distance from the character.

And EXCESSIVE.DESCRIPTORS.OF.CHARACTERS.AND.ACTIONS.
Pls make it stop.

Don't care for the writing style...I hate excessive physical description...like okay I get it, she's Beautiful™ and he's Ruggedly Handsome™. You don't have to keep shoving it down my throat.

Re-reading for a challenge, only because Rogan was the first character that popped in my head as a PNR MC I'd want as a significant other

(not like I need any reason to re-read this series)

"'Fifty Shades of Grey' is only romantic because the guy's a billionaire. If he was living in a trailer, it'd be a 'Criminal Minds' episode."

Did Jill Shalvis just throw shade at 50SoG????? I'M CACKLING This is already off to a fantastic start.

it's annoying me that maddie is pushing her kid to respect her ex-husband (the kid's dad) when he has been nothing but a cheating scumbag...give the kid some time!

LEVI STAHP I'm so attracted to you ugh

OKAY MACY WHAT U DOING WITH SEAN GIRL don’t be stupid.

Went in expecting a fun read but this is...too much? If it continues in this strain...this intensity...I’ll probably put it on hold idk.

Calvin is so cute ahhhhh

I can’t belive I’ve not read Sherry Thomas before. She’s definitely one of the better HR authors out there. I’m going to devour all her books over the weekend.

Kisses without consent...hmm..he better buckle up if I've to ship him with Kate because so far, she's so far ahead of him.

WTF YOU ABSOLUTE SCUM CURRAN Are you blaming HER for YOUR wrong hunch? And then she feels horrible for betraying the Pack's trust? What even? I am absolutely enraged.

The action was quite messy...but I think that's more of Andrews' early writing to be blamed than anything. Enjoying it, now that I'm getting the flow of the story.
