3.5 stars 🌟 "My muse" 

I'm actually scandalized by how much I enjoyed that 'canvas scene' but my favorite was how high emotions were running during the final confrontation between the siblings and Lan. I was shaking. Jer almost ended Lan's damn career 😭!!!! Aaah 🙆🏾‍♀️ 3.5 stars. On to the next one!

This is probably my least favorite of the series so far. Which I was expecting, but it is still a good book. 

As expected I still didn't like Landon all that much. He's still not my favorite character in the world. But I did like him and Mia together. 

I love that he was willing to see things from her perspective and to try learning empathy for her. And I love that he helped her find her voice after the traumatic experience from her childhood. And I loved how much stronger Mia became and how she came more into herself with him. 

I'm excited to get into God of Fury next and to finally get Brandon and Nikolai's story after all the teasers of them featured in the previous books.

I started reading this book because I wanted something light and somewhat entertaining that I could read during exam season, something I could read and immediately forget about - and it was exactly that.
I was a bit skeptical about the whole ‘psychopath’ part and how the author will turn him into a lovable character without stopping to be logical (I’m over clinical psychopaths who suddenly have feelings and are totally "normal" after finding ‘that girl’ - that’s not how psychopaths work folks)
That was quite nicely done.
However, it did remind me of the Wattpad books I used to read at 14 with passages of descriptions (I started skipping them quite soon into the books).
Her character development did disappoint me too: from being all tough and badass to turning to sweet and lovely far too soon.
And the virgin plot line is really starting to bore me …

All in all, I got what I wanted out of the book and was quite amused by some of the banter.

Mia becomes the object of Landon's obsession, his muse. 

My least favourite of the series. 

Tropes: dark, psychopath, enemies to lovers, boy obsessed

I thought Mia would have more spunk, I was disappointed. Landon was the weirdest of the bunch.

Landon and Mia! These two were a hot mess, but I loved this one more than the previous book, especially the pacing. In this book, we go back a few times, and instead of it being glossed over or done differently in this one, we actually see the scene play-by-play through Landon/Mia's POVs. I really loved the vet scene. Mia's also one of my favorites, and I cannot get enough of her story. She had a rough life before this book, and I'm curious to see if we ever get a book for her twin. The next book is about Bran and Nikolai, and I cannot wait. I don't get how these two will even get together, but we have been circling this mystery the whole series, and I cannot wait to finally learn more about these two. I always thought Bran and Landon were complete opposites, but we saw that might not be entirely true in this one. Anyway, even though I liked the pacing more in this book than the previous one, and the timeline was easier to follow, I copied the last book a bit. We even have a separate house that Mia and Landon disappear to. But I did like seeing them fixing it up and seeing a domestic side of Lan.

why does RK write the same characters for every book. it’s like every time i get my hopes up from crumbs in a previous book when i get to their book they’re just a carbon copy of most of her other MCs. i wasn’t delusional or anything but i did get a little excited for this one thinking the characters/plot would be more interesting but (surprising to no one, i’m sure) that was not the case. it was boring and the prose was just weird (almost like purple prose but like a tween wattpad author’s attempt at it) i hope after the final instalment of this series rina takes a step back for a while to work on her crap before pumping out lacklustre clones of her previous work. i’m being overly harsh bc i’ve read a lot worse before but i genuinely do think she has potential and i’ve even really enjoyed some of her work, so it’s just frustrating.
