Dreadful. I don't even know where to begin.

Nothing makes sense. People behave in extremely illogical ways. The book is a confused mish-mash of all the hackneyed New Adult romantasy tropes we've come to hate. The worldbuilding is weak and uninteresting. Just... dreadful.

It’s crack for your brain and I’m going to keep reading despite the rapey overtones and god awful middle school level writing…so who’s the real fool huh?

I think this series is better on GraphicAudio than anywhere else. It made the story more engaging and enjoyable than reading it.

A fae 'mirror world' that has the Spanish language and Facebook but no knowledge of what consent is or like... how to be decent to each other.
-5 stars - I don't understand how a bully romance is compelling
+1.5 stars - I want to be a pegasus shifter
-1 star - peagsus and unicorns are not the same thing
+2 stars - the siren magic is cool
+.5 star - the prank where Darcy jumped off the stair was actually funny

The bullying was too much. It felt really out of place and forced.

Not sure why I kept reading except that I kept thinking it would improve. Go ahead and read it if you want to subject yourself to unending and life threatening bullying.
