Holy jump scare on the male POV chapter. I knew that it was coming, but the voice actor is so drastically different from the female version that has narrated the entire book

Is there anyone in this series with the ability to assess and think rationally under any kind of stress?

Every “rawr” in the audiobook makes me so uncomfortable

Also, absolutely none of the twists in this book so far are original or surprising.

How are there only two smart scenes in this book and both of them are progressively cringier? Does the writer want to make us uncomfortable? Was this secretly written by a man? Would a really good orgasm get this girl to stop asking questions in the middle of sex?

My whole face just contorted with disgust from the cringe. Yuck.

How is this author a romance writer?

No buildup of any kind beforehand?

Are you kidding with the abrupt chapter endings? Not even a pretense (like an interruption)for them to stop/run away from each other. Just one of them decides they are randomly done with the situation, so they leave and the other one doesn’t say or do anything?

Finally get some good reveals, and the predictable plot twist is announced, but then the chapter/conversation just abruptly ends for no reason. Ugh.
