Oh. My. Fucking. God. You HAVE to be kidding me. This dark mafia book has a Black man who is a monster with a demon tattoo and can read the dark spells in the grimoire with a white boy with an Angel tattoo who can only read the good spells. Are y’all fucking kidding me. You sick reverse racism fucks. I hate it here.

Ahh how lovely yet ANOTHER MM romance where the straight best friend is disgusted to hear about gay sex. Fuck this book.

“a gorgeous Nubian woman standing on the other side of Xavier’s desk. She was wearing a tailored, navy-blue pin-striped suit with heels that looked lethal and expensive at the same time.”

What is wrong with people?! It’s like every description of BIPOCs comes with aggressive stereotypes. Nubia is an ancient kingdom in Africa. It’s not synonymous with Black. Ugh fuck these people

“I plan on using my handsome Latin looks to become a real Lothario,” Xavier teased.”

I can’t get over how mad this makes me. Don Quixote, where lothario comes from, was written by a Spanish author in the 1600s. Latin is only used to describe folks from Central/South America and the Caribbean. It would NEVER be used to describe a person from SPAIN.

Please dear god let’s stop with the stereotypes

“I plan on using my handsome Latin looks to become a real Lothario,” Xavier teased.”

What the fuck is this shit?!

“I worked hard; I had earned the right to look and smell this damn good.”

This is a load of horse shit. The man is a fucking criminal. He takes advantage of people. This idea that he thinks he’s some hardworking, productive member of society. Ugh the capitalist garbage.

It’s an info dumpy, police procedural, with awkward moments drenched in bias and stereotypes. Really a Latin man (doesn’t even deign to define where they’re from) who ends their sentences with “amigo.” You can tell me where all of Sage’s clubs are located but you won’t say what country Xavier is from…. Ok go off I guess.
