This book immediately lost me with a word salad first sentence and then immediately got me again with 8 foot tall female Sasquatch. Lmao spooky season let’s gooooo

Okay, I get it, mafia guy is going against everything his family stands for to be with another man and get tech guy is waiting for the mafia man to turn abusive because it’s what he thinks he deserves. We have established these premises THOROUGHLY. We can stop establishing and start paying back on them anytime now.

Omg I am loving this so far!! Hell yes to the big bad mafia man being the shy virgin 🥺❤️

Let’s gooooo! What an opening chapter!

This is pretty unpolished but I’m liking the intrigue so far!

Story is sweet enough, but this might be the most boring and milquetoast of the series, which is saying something considering he can see dead people 😭

Is there a word for the pain of seeing an obvious fucking trap the MCs don’t??

Eeek I’m getting goosebumps!!

Okay maybe *Saeris* is affected by Kingfisher’s sexy fae presence, but *I* haven’t been given any reason not to hate him, so we can stay enemies for a little longer actually 😮‍💨

Okayyy I’m so fucking IN let’s go!! THIS is how you establish fantasy world building 😩👌

The hand that wrote this could not be heavier 😮‍💨

I’m sorry, I’m on vacation and this sucks, I’m not doing this to myself 😭

I know we need to establish backstory with the quickness in a novella, but it’s so hard to take “ultimate assassin soldier but also HAWT and wait I want to fuck my shadow monster mark??” seriously when it’s told, not shown. Let *me* decide she’s a badass, let her attraction grow a little over time, they’ve barely had time to be enemies, they can’t be lovers yet 😭

PSA: if anyone in the future wants to make period sex seem hot, I would recommend NOT having your FMC stick her fingers inside the MMCs bloody chest wound so they’re both dealing with blood 🤢🤮

Sit down coming from 2 seconds of nipple play, she’s *almost* going to come just from him standing next to her!

God I don’t want to DNF this but I actually do really want to DNF this so bad

Good god how am I only 46% done with this 🫠 definitely more of a slog than the first book 😮‍💨

Okay I’m going to need a really good explanation as to why Max hasn’t put two and two together because at this point I’m worried that she is just very stupid 😭

Ugh I’m on 24 percent not the 24th page!! 😭 book getting good now etc etc 🙄

This definitely didn’t hook me as much as book 1 did, but the audience knowing which Aspect she’s dealing with before she does is delicious 🙌

I honestly don’t know who the main love interest is here! Very intriguing 🤔

Okay, I’m hooked, but this writing style could get grating over time 🤔

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but applying vacuum suction to the asshole is NOT sexy, it’s a fucking ER visit waiting to happen 💀

Why do people think “I was going to kill myself but then I met you 🥺” is a good look for their main character?? 😭

The self-insert character here is such a lame, dweebish, self-pitying sad sack of shit that I don’t know if I can stand to finish this 😭 if this motherfucker says Jiminy Christmas again I may end up in jail

I don’t understand why these super hot oooga men are obsessed with Milo, tbh at this point I wish he’d been shot dead instead of Melanie

Well that was a pretty damn fast progression from enemies to talking you through jerking off, although there’s definitely something else going on the audience isn’t supposed to know yet

God damn, okay! That’s the kind of book this is going to be 😳

This is doing a great job of seeding in the backstory when necessary without making it jarring or excessive 👌

I feel like authors use overbearing family dynamics as a kind of instant zaniness, but it makes me want to crawl out my skin every damn time.
