Initial thoughts: MF spice sucks. MF spice by Rina Kent sucks even worse. And the possessiveness just wasn't cute. (Somehow I can roll with it in her MM books, but those either aren't nearly as toxic, or are the full on fucking chaos that is KtV.) And yeah, by the very end Lan managed to get his shit together, but like, not until he went to visit her parents?
It was 100% worth it for the Fury background, though.

"Rai and Kyle—yes, we’re on a first-name basis now, as I’m obviously their favorite future son-in-law and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying"

Dream on, Lan. Bran is definitely their favorite. 🪷

The monster's original motivations make no fucking sense. Like, not even Gareth and Preston are as petty as this person was.

Do I hate MF spice, or do I hate Rina Kent's MF spice?

I have a feeling if I read MF spice by Alexandra St. Pierre, I'd like that just fine. Which reminds me, I really need to finish Ther Monster and the Masochist.

Ya know, Gareth's jealousy works because it's laid down from square one that he's got some screws loose, and that it's because of a revealed secret. And Landon is obviously not totally hinged, but in a totally different way from Gareth, and Mia didn't keep any secrets, so Landon's threats here just aren't cute. They don't even feel like half jokes like with Niko, since Lan is so much more vengeful.

On a side note, I don't get this "let's dump a bucket of some kind of sculpting oil on Mia" thing. It's just as much of a turn off to me as when Jude decided to pour the can of ginger ale all over Violet. Just... What? Is there a pouring things on people kink I'm unaware of?

Bran gives me a look from his position on the sofa beside me. Let’s just say he’s been enjoying this ‘let’s teach Landon emotions’ mission a bit too much.

He’s a glutton for righteousness and likes to think about other people’s emotions. All the time. Like a psycho.

I honestly believe he needs urgent apathy lessons from yours truly. But that’s a topic for another day.

"Bran is literally squeamish about blood."

LOLOLOLOLOL 🤣

If only you knew, Lan.

No, actually, if only you knew. 😭

"à la Pygmalion style"

Reasons Rina Kent is shitty at writing #752.

I know Gareth and Kayden didn't have a great start, but I'm pretty sure Kayden was less of a asshole than this by the halfway point. But I guess Kayden was WAAAAY less of an asshole than Lan to begin with.
