The novella, "Moth to a Flame" follows Raven as she navigates her late teens to adulthood in a toxic relationship with Mizan.
This book can only be described as a whirlwind, I found myself charmed by the humor while simultaneously irritated at the situations Raven wound up in
How the sex scenes were described in this book wasn't really my thing, and my copy had a handful of spelling errors or the sentences were structured wrong. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the story's pacing and was incredibly impressed by how Antoinette can make the reader care for multiple characters in such a short amount of pages.
Definitely recommend for readers to check trigger warnings before reading.

Audiobook Version ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (will get a separate review)
60% (ch. 13) - SMH.
60% ebook - the audiobook on Audible says it's Unadbriged but there are entire passages missing, in addition to lines here and there. In the ebook Morgan is deaf, on the audiobook she's not. I don't know if the background stories and addition information was added or edited. So now I'm going to have to checkout both books to get the real story. 🙄 [original 2010 version and the 2020 Anniversary edition]
88% (267 of 309, Ch. 20) - At this point I have been reading 2 different stories, it's going to be an interesting review.

Having said all that, this book was well worth the hype. The plot was wild, the spice was spicy, and the whole book made me feel like I was back in my early 20s 😅 I see why so many are still heaping praise on it to this day. Also, Ethic really is everything so I'll be reading that series next for sure.
