The Darkest King by Gena Showalter

4.0

i'm so confused whether i just finished the last book in the series or not bc it felt like it just wrapped up the whole series and the whole friend group is all coupled up but ik the author is gonna write more books about other chracters in the series so i'm thinking it's gonna be novellas or spin off series but anyways this book was so good ugh. i felt like the time moved kinda weird in this book bc it was really slow and then at the end there was a two week time skip so i'm like where are we what time is this but anyways i feel like the main guyy is sm different than he was in the previous books but that's bc there's more shit about his traumatic backstory or whatever #mommyanddaddyissues like yikes but i like him still he was one of my favs in the beginning of the series and still is and the main girl fits him really well i love her. the main guy bee annoying tryna put distance between their relationship bc of his curse wich i get but you're so annoying bruv but the way the girl reacts to it is so funny like she's petty and would do shit to spite him which is so #girlboss but i was fucking dying when it was revealing she's a unicorn shifter like stfu not a fucking unicorn are you kidding me in this book series w demons and shit shes a unicorn. anyways ignroing that the plot twists in the book were good like i'm just dumb and didn't make connections or wahtever but i was like oh the curse is in the ink but the reaction to the thing was so like bland i was expecting a little more omg what the heck ahh and then th eother twist of the medallion being a mf unicorn horn like pls stop this madness. but the realtionship between the two i really enjoyed one of my favs even tho the main guy annoyed me but we'll excuse it bc of the trauma. omg i hate his adopted dad tho but i'm rooting for his relationship w this girl stuck in the mirror and i'm rooting for the main guy's borther w that girl that was married to his adopted brother but their books aren't out yet #rude. but rating this 9.5/10 really liked it and i'm so sad i finished all the recent books but there's one coming out in a month i think of another cdharacter i like and another book cfoming out next year so i can't complain too much.
note in 2023 after transcribing my old reviews: i don't think the book of the girl in the mirror and whoever i was talking about ever came out...
