look, i decided to read this bc the series/book titles were so bad. so, i obviously knew it wasn’t gonna be the pinnacle of literature — but i didn’t expect it to be so fun jfjgjgkh

the characters were surprisingly likeable imo. sadie could’ve been one of those regular annoying™️ protagonists but i actually liked her. i also liked that the guys were different to each other which is also surprising in this type of book.

i liked the relationship between jax and cobra (what a name…) and their dynamics with sadie. ascher (with a C!) was kinda unecessary tbh. he didn’t need to be there, imo. aran felt more important than him.

the world was interesting and very different from others i’ve read, though i’m still confused abt some stuff.

and interestingly, i actually got invested. sometimes i felt uneasy bc poor sadie’s body didn’t catch a break. also, at some parts i was actually like, tense bc i wanted them to get out of stuff okay.

anywaysss, 4/5 bc i’m not a technical reader. if i had fun, i had fun!

This was so fun! I absolutely loved Sadie( I think that’s her name. I’m so bad at remembering names). She actually made me laugh so many times. The world is interesting as well. I didn’t read the summary so I didn’t know the alphas shift into different creatures which is fun. I really like the slow burn happening with the characters as well.

Re-read! Still a very fun book for me. Weirdly I thought there were scenes that didn’t happen in this book, not sure if I imagined them or if the physical edition is different. ( I previously read it on KU) I only wish we had seen more of Aran and Zed, that would have bumped it to 5 stars for me.

Just bad. Fmc was a pick me girl. And all the female characters were mean sluts apart from the fmc. I will be continuing the book though

I’d heard lots of hype about this series so was excited to start it finally but was really disappointment in the writing and characters. They came across so juvenile and with no real depth or reality to their personalities at all. They were all whiney pick-me’s and all the interactions with the FMC are awful. Anyone who is not the FMC or her sister (or an old woman is just referred to as ‘slut’ or ‘bitch’ which is so basic and the male characters were all annoying except for Zed. You can tell all this book is really geared up for is sex but not in a good way.

In fairness though, I think the world building is good for series - it’s different to what I’ve read before and I feel like she’s setting it up for much more throughout the remaining books with different realms and species which is cool. 

Will not be continuing these books personally.
