“In the middle of the night, she woke and almost screamed.
Grim was sitting across from her bed, watching her.”

Lmaooo he really is on his Edward from twilight shit fr

“With about as much revulsion as possible, he outstretched his hand. It was gloved this time, as if he couldn’t bear having his skin touch hers.
He hated her. She didn’t really understand why. ”

Ahh yes he’s “disgusted” by her in a way that’s totally not similar to the way Edward was revulsed by Bella 🙄

Watching recaps of Lightlark so I can understand wtf is going on in this book and why did I think this main character lady was whiter than a winter snow storm in December???? And they’re depicting her with some melanin like this is blowing me

“Isla thought, as he leaned down and kissed her, that she had never been happier in her entire life.”

I’m assuming that’s about to change.
What does dreadful grimshaw do to her???

Here I am
Reading this book
Waiting for any source of conflict

I’m trying to soak up all the oro moments before the author inevitably make her bias towards grim and shadow daddies incredibly clear.

Which is why I’m not buying Isla’s whole “I despise him 😡” like sure Jan sure 🙄

I just realized why this book has no plot— there’s like zero stakes. We don’t know what they are trying to defeat or conquer or challenge or struggle with. There’s just Isla training, remembering Grim, or wanting Oro. This is a nothing burger

“Isla,” he said. “Attracted does not begin to describe what I feel for you.”

🔥🔥🔥

Switched to the audiobook & will now use this site to keep track of all the chapters because they are not labeled on Spotify or numbered on the ebook 🙄
Golden Rose — Track 19

I’m just now realizing why I didn’t like Grim in the first book other than him being a generic shadow daddy he was creepy af like giving stalker vibes weird as hell that’s why I’m team oro
