Okay, I did not expect to genuinely enjoy that as much as I did, it brought back me back to the way I used to feel reading YA fantasy back in highschool. This is also my first time reading romantasy, and I thought I'd be really into it but you know what? I'll still choose ao3 any day, I think smut in books just isn't for me. Anyways, I think I'll be reading the second book in a couple weeks, but I'm itching for some horror first.
Also, it was really close to being a 5*, but by the end the cringe siphoned off half a star for me. Still fun to read if you ignore the cringe tho.

Now this wasn't that bad and I could see why ppl like it but there are some things that stood out to me that needed smth or development.
Okay 1. I literally could not for the LIFE of me picture the characters OR the background, even tho I'm a visual person through and through for some reason I just couldn't picture anything
2. Honestly my fav character is prob Liam but we didn't get to see a lot of him and I just felt like there was more to explore and that he was just solely there to protect violet, so when he died I didn't rly care even tho it was supposed to be impactful
3. Violet and xaden's relationship, idk if it was just me but I felt that their relationship was PURELY PHYSICAL LIKE THEY DID NIT CONNECT EMOTIONALLY WHATSOEVER and I expected more of them
