I loved Dante and Amara. I think they're going to be my favorites but it's too soon to say. My only complaint was that the book felt a bit slow at times because of how little spoken interaction we get between Tristan and Morana. There was a bunch of looking at each other and other things yet they barely spoke but in a way it worked. Also, despite what the authors note said, I did get a little annoyed after a while when Morana kept mentioning "his blue eyes" and using descriptions of "whiskey and sin" when it came to Tristan lol. Overall though, it was enjoyable, can't wait to get into the next one!

I swear if I have a dime for every time Morana's breasts and nipples pebbled I would be rich lolol. The too-detailed writing that led to dramatization and ended up describing the character's feeling in half a chapter made me skimmed almost all of the chapters. I can almost hear Tristan Caine saying "I'M BATMAN" whenever he appeared. The sex scenes were like hormonal teenager's dirtiest wet dream. I was dead laughing every time it popped up. Morana's breasts and nipples being pebbled mentioned in such out of the box situations that made me like wtf LMAO. She also had this tendency to be horny in such an unexpected situation that made my mind boggled. Even while I'm writing this I'm still laughing lolol
I picked up this book while reading the horrible Haunting Adeline and saw many people said The Dark Verse is so much better dark romance series. Turns out my expectation was disappointing lmao. "Probably" will not pick up the rest of the series.

I absolutely love Tristan. He's such an interesting and complex character. I was that the reason behind his hatred could be a pathetic one but it made a lot of sense and actually fit with his personality and how he acts.
