Sincerely hoping the bully-romance trope is put to a firm end. 

You don't come to this series expecting literature, you expect a good time. This is good, but not great.

Was this good? No. Am I going to read the next book… *sigh* yes. Anyway, I don’t recommend if you have any experience with sexual harassment/assault or bullying because I feel like it could be very triggering and definitely made me feel super uncomfortable at times. On the other hand, if you want a silly goofy time romantasy that’s addictive and can look past the walking red flags all the men display in this book…yeah this is the one for you. I have definitely found my guilty pleasure series of the year 🤦🏻‍♀️

Tried this without knowing anything about it.  I was invested enough in some of the unrevealed plot points to finish the book but when I learned there are 8 or 9 more books I wish hadn’t bothered since nothing was resolved. The bullying is extreme and the relationships very unhealthy.

I enjoyed most parts of the world building but a few parts of the book gave me the ick and I had to take a few breaks.

What can I say… Kindle Unlimited is free for the next two months. It was bad. But the main storyline has some minor intrigue.  !!!Content Warnings Galore!!!

It was too difficult to distinguish between the two protagonists. I couldn’t tell whose POV at any time!
