A review by destinyreadsbookss
Ocean of Sin and Starlight by Karina Halle
Did not finish book.
DNF @ 153 pages in
I dnfd 153 pages in. I couldn’t push through. I have tried other books by Karina and liked them but this was a miss for me.
I disliked it for a couple different reasons but one of the biggest was that the mmc felt like he was being overly sexy for no reason and it came across as forced and trying too hard. Below is a paragraph from the book and at the end of it, he’s like yah and spilling my seed. and it didn’t feel necessary at all. The mmc does that ALOT in first like 35%.
“I want her to remind me of my wife, of the woman I loved before I lost her. But time has erased so much of that life from me. I remember her, I remember my children, can recall the memories and feelings, but I can’t see them anymore. They are nebulous, blank faces. I know what it was like to caress my wife’s body, to spill my seed inside her, to lose myself to the throes of passion,”
I also HATE toe sucking with a passion. I didn’t dnf because of the toe sucking but i dislike it aggressively.
The 153 pages I did read just read kinda weird tbh. Because the mmc is this vampire priest who misses his family but he’s a monster and hates that he has to kill people to live but LOVES that he has the siren captured and wants to like RUIN her and is obsessed with her. And the fmc is a siren he is holding captive and she wants to find her sister. So her game plan is to seduce him and get free. But she’s so into him and his wang that forget her sister even thought that a huge part of the story
Overall, this was a HUGE let down. If I did rate my dnfs, I would give this a 2
